When looking for a place, get to know your potential neighbors to understand noise levels and utilities. After moving in, make friends with at least one reliable neighbor for extra security and to lend you a hand when needed. Don't skip checking out nearby amenities—make sure you like the area you’re in!
Totally agree! Being on good terms with neighbors can save you a lot of hassle.
Here's a solid starter list:
1. Air fryer – cooks food fast and is healthier than using a microwave.
2. Kettle for quick hot water (coffee, noodles, etc.).
3. A tape measure to ensure furniture fits.
4. A scrub daddy egg sponge for cleaning without scratching.
5. A bucket for those unexpected cleaning tasks.
It's all about making life easier when you move in!
Love the air fryer suggestion! Quality knives are also essential for cooking.
Agreed! This list is super helpful, especially for a beginner.
Definitely start with some basics: a plunger and a good toolbox are crucial for unexpected mishaps. Also, invest in a fire extinguisher to keep your place safe. You never know when you might need these!
Don't forget toilet paper for moving day! Trust me, you'll want that on hand.
A plunger and a fire extinguisher? What kind of wild cooking are you planning? 😂
This is great advice! Knowing the community is just as important as the apartment itself.
