The Day-One Moving Survival Guide: Quick Tips for Your New Space

Moving into a new apartment is an exciting milestone, but the actual packing and lifting can leave you completely exhausted by the end of the day. To help you settle smoothly into your new home at Ovation at Arrowbrook , we have compiled the ultimate day-one moving hack that most renters completely forget.   The Golden Rule of Moving Day: Bed and Bath First   Before you start unboxing kitchen gadgets or setting up your television, unpack exactly two things: your shower curtain and your bed linens . When the moving truck is empty and you have spent hours carrying boxes up our spacious freight elevator, you will be physically drained. The last thing you want to do at midnight is hunt through taped cardboard boxes for a pillowcase or towel. By hanging your shower curtain and making your bed first thing in the morning , you guarantee that you can immediately take a hot shower and fall directly into a fully made bed the moment you finish working. Smooth Sailing at Ovation at Arrowbrook   Our community features controlled-access garage parking and modern elevator designs to make your load-in day as stress-free as possible. Plan ahead by making sure to use Updater to forward mail, set up utilities and more and by coordinating your arrival time with our leasing office to schedule the freight elevator, checking your affordable housing related documentation, and packing a "Day 1 Essentials" bag to keep your primary toiletries close at hand.
