So, you've found your perfect apartment with Northtowne Properties! Congratulations! Now comes the exciting (and sometimes daunting) task of preparing for the move itself. Fear not, future resident! This comprehensive guide will equip you with the knowledge and steps needed for a smooth and stress-free transition into your new Northtowne home.

Planning Makes Perfect:

  • Set a Timeline: Moving involves a multitude of tasks. Create a timeline at least 6-8 weeks before your move-in date, outlining essential steps like packing, scheduling movers, and transferring utilities.

  • Declutter and Downsize: Moving is a great opportunity to declutter! Sort through belongings and donate or sell items you no longer need. You'll thank yourself later for having less to pack and unpack!

  • Packing Supplies: Boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap – the list goes on! Consider purchasing used boxes from online marketplaces or asking friends/family for extras. You might also find deals on packing supplies at local stores during the moving season.

Logistics and Essential Connections:

  • Schedule Movers (Optional): If you're opting for professional movers, get quotes and book their services well in advance, especially during peak moving seasons. 

  • Change of Address: Notify Canada Post and other essential services like banks and subscriptions of your new address well before your move date.

Preparing for Your Northtowne Apartment:

  • Review Your Lease Agreement: Familiarize yourself with the terms of your lease agreement, particularly regarding move-in procedures, damage deposits, and pet policies.

  • Connect with Northtowne: Reach out to the Northtowne property management team for any pre-move-in questions or concerns. They'll be happy to assist you with a smooth transition.

Settling In:

  • Explore Your Neighbourhood: Moving to a new area? Embrace the opportunity to explore! Find nearby grocery stores, coffee shops, parks, and restaurants.

  • Connect with Neighbours: Introduce yourself to your neighbours! Building a sense of community can enhance your overall living experience.
