    Tips on moving from a house to an apartment

    By Bailey N. | Beverly Hills lifestyle | 0 comment | 14 October, 2018 | 0

    In the past years, homeownership has become less popular than renting an apartment. And there are many reasons why people find living in a rental apartment more attractive. But the thing is if you have been living in a house your whole life, moving from a house to an apartment might be challenging for you. These changes can be a little overwhelming, but moving to a smaller space doesn’t have to be scary. As soon as you get used to the new environment, you will forget about any insecurities you were dealing with. In order to have the perfect relocation, we will help you get ready for starting a brand new life. Here are our best tips to help you prepare for the big move.

    Have a plan for moving from a house to an apartment

    Every move can be challenging. In order for everything to go smoothly, you will need to make the perfect plan. Organizing a relocation isn’t an easy task but it will make your move more successful. Since you will be moving from a house to an apartment, you will need to take care of a few tasks before you find the perfect apartment in Beverly Hills. Smaller space might worry you a little, but if you think ahead of your new lifestyle, no problem will stand in your way to get used to a new space.

    A checklist for moving from a house to an apartment.

    Moving from a house to an apartment will be easier if you plan it carefully.

    Prepare to downsize

    Downsizing needs to be done before your move to an apartment. This task might seem daunting to you, but it doesn’t have to be.  All you need to do is follow simple tips on how to downsize your home. The goal is to learn to prepare to live in a smaller space, which is hard for some people. For example, some people who move from a big house to a small apartment can’t get used to not having a big backyard. Especially if their new apartment doesn’t have a terrace. But smaller space isn’t really a big deal. There are a lot of resort-like amenities which offer their community a pool, playground for kids and fitness rooms. And you know what? You won’t have to deal with maintaining it.

    Let go of unnecessary things

    When you are planning to move to an apartment from a house, don’t forget you won’t be needing all of the stuff you own. Letting go of the things you had for your whole life might be hard for you, but it will make more space for new memories. The task of getting rid of the unnecessary things can be boring or overwhelming, so you will need help. If you are moving with kids to Beverly Hills, ask them to help you. This will let them know you trust their decisions.

    To make the whole process easier, you can use a four-box method. All you need is four boxes, which you will label like this:

    1. A keep box. This is a box for the items you want to bring to your new apartment.
    2. A giveaway box/ a sell box. If you don’t use an item anymore, don’t throw it in the trash right away. Pick the items that are in good condition and consider donating them to those in need. Another great option for you is to organize a garage sale and earn some money.
    3. A storage box. There is a chance you will want to keep a lot of your stuff. But since you will be moving to a smaller space, you will need a storage box.
    4. A toss box. The less you toss, the better. Consider tossing your items as your last option. Recycling or repurposing is always a better option.

      Move fewer things to your new apartment to prevent chaos.

    Rent a storage unit

    Storage units come in handy if you have a lot of belongings and not enough space for them. Meaning you will probably need one if you are moving from a house to an apartment. Most of the companies will give you insurance, so you won’t have to think about the safety of your items. After you rent a storage unit, the only key will be in your possession so no one can mess with your stuff. Also, don’t forget to keep it clean and organized. You don’t want to ruin your belongings.

    Measure everything

    Don’t forget to measure your furniture before deciding to relocate it to your new apartment! One of the biggest moving mistakes is buying a piece of furniture and having nowhere to place it. When you move from a big home to a smaller one, you will need to know how to organize your new space and how to incorporate your belongings in it without making a mess If you have an oversized sofa, try to trade it for a smaller one.

    Ask professionals to help you

    Since you are moving into a building, you should think about the stairs. While your belongings might not seem heavy or bulky, hauling them to the 10th floor can still be a nightmare. If you are afraid you won’t do a good job in moving your items, try hiring the perfect moving company to get the job done. Sometimes it is better to let the professionals do their magic.

    Look at the great aspects of smaller living

    Moving from a house to an apartment might seem strange to you at first. However, after a few days, you will find out its great aspects. For example, even though you now have much less space for your belongings, don’t forget you will spend less time cleaning. Instead of mopping your floors for the whole afternoon, you will have more time for yourself and your family. Not to forget, you will save money on the utilities since it will be cheaper to heat and cool an apartment instead of a large house.

    Living in an apartment will bring good changes in your life, so don’t be afraid of it.
