1. The Logistics of Moving In

Handling the practical steps of your move early can save you from a lot of last-minute stress.

Be sure to provide them with the correct address and directions to your specific home at The Eleanor. Our build to rent homes offer easy accessibility, which can simplify the moving process.

2. Settling into Your New Home

Once the boxes are in, it's time to turn your new space into a home. Here’s how to make the most of your first few days.
