Services are provided within or just outside the Homestead Provisions building. It may be mentioned that Talebot Took, the local supplier and provisioner, provides a 10 - 15% discount to his assortment. Thence crafters find it useful to shop locally.

Players may swiftly travel to their home and/or their kinship house, or make use of the milestone available just outside the neighbourhood entrance.

In order to complete the quest Homesteads of Eriador players must talk to Andy Brockhouse. And Rolf Bracegirdle, inside any of the neighbourhoods, will complete the quest There's No Place Like Home.
