Move-In is in Full Swing! The influx of new residents to our neighborhood brings many opportunities. There are, of course, opportunities to meet and greet new neighbors.

We have Welcome Packets available if you would like hand some out near your home. But Move-In also brings opportunity for criminals! Unattended moving vans, vacant apartments, electronics boxes being left out by the garbage, naive tenants unaware of crime risks, and large scale pre-semester house-warming parties — all these increase the likelihood of being targeted by burglars. Please help spread the word to be vigilant to new residents! Agenda includes:
