Summertime is the peak of moving season. In fact, according to Apartments.com, around 80% of moves happen during this time. If you’re planning on moving into a gorgeous new apartment community like One 51 Place this summer, here are a few tips to help you out.

Plan Ahead

Since summer is such a hot time to move, things can get hectic for landlords, renters, moving companies, and moving supply companies. If you want your move to go as smoothly as possible, you need to plan ahead for everything. Purchase moving supplies and talk to moving companies well in advance to ensure you’ll have access to these resources in time. Additionally, talk with your new landlord to get all necessary paperwork filled out as soon as you can. When you handle this step early, both you and the landlord will have more time to ensure everything is completed correctly and on-time.

Get Help or Prepare to Pay More

Summer is the most popular time to move into a new apartment, and it’s also the most expensive. High demand increases the price of moving services, so budget for a bigger impact on your wallet. Alternatively, save some money by getting friends or family to help you move if they can. You may also be able to get cheap moving supplies like boxes from friends, or by asking around at local restaurants or stores.

Stay Excited!

Moving into a new apartment is an exciting time! Keep that excitement alive throughout your summer move, and the process will be much more enjoyable.
