4. Protect floors and doorframes with blankets and edge guards, particularly in older buildings with delicate woodwork along Main Street.

6. Schedule moves to avoid peak traffic near Hampden Harbour during afternoon rush hours; plan for extra time if a parade or festival is planned in the waterfront district.
7. Prepare fragile items with district-specific considerations, such as antique mirrors and china cabinets common in historic townhouses. Use proper padding and crating to mitigate risk in tight stairwells and elevator lobbies.
8. Confirm insurance coverage and the process for documenting any pre-existing damage. Keep a copy of the inventory and photos ready for quick claims handling if needed.
9. For winter moves, factor in snow and ice on sidewalks and entry steps to Hampden's waterfront blocks. Request salt or mats at entryways in advance and allow extra loading time.
10. After move-in, test all elevator access, doorways, and stairs with small items before unloading heavier pieces to avoid damage to hallways around Hampden Town Hall and Central Ave.
