When I first moved to Baltimore, I knew no one and nothing about the city. As you can imagine, the hunt for my first apartment was difficult. No one told me that each of Baltimore’s neighborhoods embodied their own beautiful personality, so I had to try and find an apartment that matched my lifestyle and my needs in a 1) short time period and 2) with little knowledge of Baltimore’s neighborhoods. Six years ago, I moved into my first apartment between the Mount Vernon and Downtown Baltimore communities to start a new chapter of my life in Charm City.
Now, after living in the city for six years (in 3 different Baltimore neighborhoods), I can say that Baltimore is the quirkiest city I’ve ever experienced. A beautiful quirky! Baltimore’s unique communities and down-to-earth residents bring a breath of fresh air to city living. I started my blog as a way to meet new people in a new city and build a sense of community. And as I learned more about Baltimore, I learned more about myself.
My Bozzuto Baltimore Story
Naturally, the longer I lived in the city, my lifestyle and my needs changed. I moved to Baltimore as a single, recent graduate working as a Research Technician. Now, I’m a graduate student, (working from home, indefinitely) in a long-term relationship. As you can probably guess, my needs look different than they did six years ago. And they have grown to include the needs of my partner.
When my partner and I decided to move in together, we started our apartment hunt. Moving is one of my least favorite activities ever, but deciding on an apartment was actually quite easy for us. Moving? Easy? How???
Property Needs: After six years in Baltimore and two years in our relationship, I knew my needs as a graduate student and my partner’s needs as a chef who works outside of the city. We needed a location that 1) is within walking distance of the shuttle I take to campus 2) has quick access to I-83 3) has a parking garage 4) has multiple community spaces I can work from home.
Property Tour: We scheduled tours of apartment buildings in our desired location, and ultimately found our new sanctuary at a Bozzuto Baltimore property. The Bozzuto Management Team listened to our budget, our preferred layout, and our anticipated needs...a furry friend! We self-toured an apartment with our desired layout (our decision due to COVID-19 safety precautions, it went very smoothly!) and knew it was the exact space we wanted. We quickly applied online for the apartment. Once we were approved, we signed our lease and scheduled a move-in date with the Leasing Office!
Move In: To top it all off, Bozzuto Management’s attention to detail made for a smooth move-in day. We were encouraged to book the loading dock for unloading our vehicles and were given vouchers to cover the cost of accessing the parking garage. Throughout the whole moving process, I felt welcomed and informed by the Management team. I always ask questions, and they were SO helpful answering all my random emails about the application process, setting up monthly parking, and where the trash rooms were located, haha.
After Move-In: We are loving our new apartment and enjoying the chance to turn it into a unique space that reflects our personalities! Most Bozzuto Baltimore properties extend their Welcome Home Commitment to new residents, and all properties have a 70+ point cleanliness checklist and sanctuary seal. Having moved during COVID-19, we appreciated 1) that if we didn’t love our new space or if circumstances changed within the first 30 days of our move, we wouldn’t be penalized and 2) Bozzuto Baltimore’s emphasis on cleanliness.
“What do you need at an apartment to feel at home?”
A goal of my blog is to provide my readers with valuable information. I’m always looking to share my knowledge and experiences in order to make your lives smoother. Information is valuable when you’re moving to a new city or neighborhood, and I’m here to share my insights to make your transition to Baltimore an informed one.
