Moving into a new home, especially for the first time, can be an exciting yet challenging experience. To make your transition as smooth as possible, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to help you every step of the way. Whether you’re a student eager to start your college journey or a parent ensuring your child is well-prepared, this guide covers everything you need to know before, during, and after move-in day.

Before Move-In

Review Your Lease Agreement

Take the time to thoroughly review your lease agreement. Understanding the terms and conditions, including move-in procedures, rules, and regulations, will help you avoid any surprises on move-in day.

Pack Smart

Since your apartment is fully furnished, focus on bringing personal items and essentials. Coordinate with your roommates to avoid bringing duplicate items, which will save space and make the move-in process more efficient. Essentials like bedding, toiletries, kitchen supplies, and your favorite personal items should be at the top of your list.

On Move-In Day

Inspect Your Apartment

Upon arrival, take a few moments to inspect your apartment. Verify that all furniture and appliances listed in your inventory checklist are present and in good condition. If you notice any discrepancies, report them immediately to the community management team to avoid any future issues.

Unpack Essentials First

Start by unpacking essential items such as bedding, toiletries, and kitchen supplies. This will help you settle in quickly and make your new place feel like home right away.

Settle In

Make It Your Own

Even though your apartment is fully furnished, adding personal touches can make it truly feel like your own. Decorate with photos, artwork, and other items that reflect your style and personality. A little bit of personalization can go a long way in making your space comfortable and inviting.

Familiarize Yourself with Amenities

Core Spaces’ communities offer a range of amenities designed to enhance your living experience. Take the time to explore study lounges, fitness and spa areas, pools, sundecks, and more.
