Announcements | Apartment Tips | Student | August 14, 2026
Tomorrow marks one of the biggest days of the year at Uptown as approximately 1,600 apartments welcome new residents on August 15.
For 2 weeks, our property management, resident relations, leasing, maintenance, and grounds teams have been working behind the scenes to prepare homes, complete inspections, coordinate vendors, and ensure our communities are ready for move-in day. Student turn is one of the most demanding and rewarding seasons of the year, and we're excited to welcome residents back to Uptown.
As move-in begins, parking lots, hallways, elevators, and leasing offices will be busier than usual. We appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as our teams work to assist residents and keep things moving smoothly throughout the day.
✅ Move-In Checklist
Before heading to pick up your keys, make sure you've completed these important items:
- Pay Your Rent
August rent must be paid in full before keys can be released. - Sign up for Renters Insurance
All leaseholders are required to have renters insurance and provide a copy of the declarations page if you do not sign up with ePremium. - Transfer Electric & Gas Service
One resident must set up the Duke Energy account effective on the move-in date and provide the account information to Uptown. - Transfer Water Service (Single-Family Homes Only)
Residents moving into single-family homes must transfer the Greater Cincinnati Water Works account into a resident's name before move-in. Apartment residents do not need to complete this step.
⭐ Optional Reminders
- Reserve Parking (if available for your property)
- Set Up Wi-Fi & Internet Service before move-in to avoid installation delays during the busy season.
📝 Tell Us How We Did
One week after move-in, you'll receive a Move-In Survey by both email and text message. We genuinely want to know about your experience. Whether your move-in went perfectly or there are areas where we can improve, your feedback helps us make future move-ins even better for our residents.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey when it arrives. Your input is important to us!
To our new residents, welcome to Uptown! We hope you'll enjoy everything our communities and neighborhoods have to offer, from local restaurants and coffee shops to the vibrant energy that makes the Uptown area unique.
A special thank you goes out to the Uptown employees, vendors, and partners who have spent countless hours preparing for this important weekend. Your hard work helps create a positive move-in experience for thousands of residents and families.
