One of the easiest ways to feel comfortable in a new home is to familiarise yourself with your surroundings. Take some time after moving in to learn where the main entrances, exits and amenities are located.
At Enclave, all of our buildings require key card access, helping to ensure that access to the building and resident spaces is limited to authorised residents and team members.
Understanding how your building works from day one means you can settle in and quickly get into your normal routine.
Get to know your way around your apartment building
Security starts before you even reach your apartment. All Enclave buildings are secure by design, with controlled access points and key card entry helping to keep resident only areas secure.
Your apartment door also automatically locks when it closes from the outside, giving you an added layer of reassurance. There's no need to worry about whether you've remembered to lock your door behind you when heading out.
It's also important to be mindful of who you allow into the building. When friends or family visit, make sure they follow the appropriate visitor access process and avoid allowing people you don't know to follow you through secure entrances. If you're ever unsure about whether someone should have access to a resident only area, your on site team can help.
Your key card is an important part of your day to day routine, so keep it somewhere safe and avoid sharing it with anyone else. If you lose your key card, let your on site team know as soon as possible so they can assist.

When you first move in, it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with your apartment and make sure you know where everything is.
Check that you know how to operate your doors, windows and appliances, and take a moment to locate important features such as smoke alarms. Your move-in information should also provide useful guidance on what to do if you have an issue within your apartment.

A few everyday habits can become part of your normal routine and help you feel more comfortable in your new home.
