Potomac Falls comes to life during the summer months. While you can find plenty to do year-round, something about the warm weather makes you want to grab a tennis racket, head out for a hike or check out the local sights. It's also an ideal time to move to Falcons Landing as an Independent Living resident. By the time you're done reading the reasons summer is an ideal time to move, you'll be reaching for your moving boxes.
Your home has served you well, but maybe you're ready to retire your mower and enjoy a more maintenance-free summer. Putting your house on the market in spring or early summer could make those dreams come true.
The warmer months are often ideal for listing a home for sale. If you're lucky, you'll sell your home quickly and for top dollar. Then you can roll those profits into your new Independent Living accommodations at Falcons Landing. When you hand over the keys to your house at the closing, the lawn and garden are instantly someone else's concern, and you'll step into your maintenance-free lifestyle.
Selling your house in the summer also has other advantages. You can open your windows to keep the home fresh and airy for showings. Green, lush grass and blooming landscape plants add to the curb appeal for potential buyers. The timing allows you to use staging to highlight outdoor spaces, such as patios or pools.
As you prepare to sell your home, you can hold a garage sale and often get a better turnout during warmer weather. It's also easier to load up a moving truck if you want to put some of your belongings in storage before showing your house.
At Falcons Landing, while you don't have to wait for summer to get moving, the longer days with more hours of sunlight definitely make it easier to complete your moving to-do list.
Early sunrises mean you can get to your packing first thing in the morning with plenty of natural light guiding the way. The sunshine can help you feel energized and ready to tackle your packing. Having ample light also makes it easier to navigate spaces filled with boxes and packing supplies, which can increase your safety as you pack.
The longer summer days offer more flexibility when scheduling the timing of your move. The moving crew can begin working earlier in the day and get on the road faster. This is especially helpful if the trek to Falcons Landing from your current home is a long one.
Once you arrive, you may feel more motivated to start unpacking during the remaining hours of sunlight. You can make the most of the daylight hours to unpack and organize your new home with plenty of light to help you settle into your new space.
Falcons Landing offers a wide range of outdoor activities on campus and nearby in the community. The tennis and pickleball courts give you a chance to challenge new friends, whether you prefer singles or doubles. If golf is your preferred summer activity, eight courses are nearby. New residents who enjoy walking can find many conveniently located trails as well as multiple walking clubs in the community.
The summer months make it easier to get outside and engage in more activities. You'll naturally meet other people as you participate in your favorite summer activities, whether you take advantage of the options on campus or venture out to the surrounding community.
Moving is often a lengthy process, and you'll likely want some help sorting through your belongings and deciding what to keep. Even if you hire movers, you may want to downsize your belongings before the move. That takes time, so you'll want to schedule the move at a convenient time.
You'll often have fewer calendar conflicts during the summer. Sure, vacations are popular during the warmer months, but you can avoid the busy holiday period by scheduling the move in the summer. If you're relying on younger family members to help with the move, they may have fewer conflicts with school activities for their kids.
One factor to keep in mind for a summer move is that other people likely have the same idea. That means moving companies may be busier than normal. Look ahead on your calendar, and consult with anyone who might help you to choose your dates early. Then, book the moving company as soon as possible to secure the dates you want.
One of the best ways to feel at home in your new community is to get out and explore. Warm summer weather entices you to walk around the campus and take in all the amenities. You'll also find the campus in bloom and full of greenery during this time.
It's easier to become a great neighbor at Falcons Landing when you're out and about exploring the community. You'll naturally meet fellow residents as you explore the campus. The nice weather encourages current residents to get outside and socialize as well. If you're moving into the Independent Living community, you'll encounter other former members of the uniformed service or government employees, so you'll have something in common with the people you meet.
