First Apartment? We've Got You

Your Complete Moving Checklist

Q: What utilities do I need to set up myself?

It helps but is not required. Campus Court Lexington has direct access to the Red UK Transportation Line, and many students coordinate move-in help with roommates, family, or a rented van.

Q: What should I do if something in my unit needs repair after I move in?

Campus Court Lexington offers 24/7 emergency maintenance. Residents should ask the leasing team how to submit a standard maintenance request as soon as they move in.

Moving into your first apartment at Campus Court Lexington is a big milestone, and it doesn't have to be stressful. This checklist walks you through exactly what to do and when, from six weeks out to your first week living on your own, so nothing catches you by surprise.

Quick Answer

To prepare for move-in at Campus Court Lexington, students should start 6 to 8 weeks out by budgeting and arranging renters insurance, handle address changes and utility setup 2 to 4 weeks before move-in, pack the week before, and bring ID, lease paperwork, and any move-in payment on move-in day. Every home already includes an in-unit washer and dryer, keycard access, and Wi-Fi, trash, water, and sewer in rent, so there's less to buy than most students expect. Questions about your specific floor plan can be directed to the leasing office at 935 Red Mile Rd, Lexington, KY 40504, or campuscourtlexington.com/floor-plans.
