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 Overlook at RiverPlace.
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 neighborhood dealer at 1 Front Street Market, 604 S Front St (about 1 mile).
3 days out
Set up electricity and internet before move day so you are live when you arrive.
Move day
Truck parks: RiverPlace fronts North Water St between Grace and Chestnut, in the heart of the historic grid: one-way streets, metered curb, and no loading dock. Coordinate a curb window with the office and set out cones early; the parking deck entrance is off Grace St.. Your crew handles all loading and unloading. You drive.
Day after
Return the truck. Unbox the essentials. You are home.

Move day specifics for Overlook at RiverPlace
What you need to know that is specific to this building.
Reserve the elevator with the office before you rent the truck; the building shares it with condo owners and retail deliveries
A 15-ft truck fits the downtown streets far better than a 26-footer. For a 2BR, two trips with a smaller truck can beat one trip you cannot park
Ask about the Certificate of Insurance requirement when you give notice. Undergrads emails a COI to building management at no extra cost
