YOUR COMPLETE MOVE-IN PLAN
From lease signing to first night settled
This is the full picture — not just move day. Every step, in order, specific to Midtown Apartments.
Signing day
Reserve your freight elevator slot. Contact your leasing office.
2 weeks out
Book your Undergrads crew. $5 locks your date — pay after the move.
1 week out
Reserve your moving truck. Recommended: 15-ft or 20-ft depending on unit size. U-Haul at University of Florida, 802 N Main St (about 1.5 miles).
3 days out

Move day
Truck parks: Midtown Apartments is a block off University Ave with a parking garage. NW 17th St is narrow and busy at class changes, so plan to stage inside the garage and confirm a window with the office rather than loading from the street.. Your crew handles all loading and unloading. You drive.
Day after
Return the truck. Unbox the essentials. You are home.
