Staying Safe While Finding Housing
Moving to a new city and finding safe housing can be intimidating. At Docked Living, we understand the challenges everyone faces and work hard to make the housing process as smooth and secure as possible.
Finding Safe, Affordable Housing
One of the biggest challenges when relocating is securing safe, affordable housing. Many tenants juggle paying for housing in a new city while maintaining rent or a mortgage back home. There’s a misconception that new tenants receive fully furnished, high-end housing, but that’s not always the case. That’s where Docked Living comes in—we offer secure co-living spaces that provide a sense of community, safety, and affordability.
Beware of Housing Scams
Tenants often rely on online listings, which can expose them to scams. Scammers frequently post listings with attractive prices and fake photos, asking for deposits through untraceable methods like Zelle. At Docked Living, we prioritize your safety by offering own co-living spaces through a secure process, ensuring you don’t fall victim to scams.
Use Verified Housing Services
At Docked Living, every listing is vetted and verified by our team. This gives you peace of mind knowing that your new home has been thoroughly checked for safety and reliability.
Request a Tour
To feel more confident in your housing choice, request a tour. This helps you get a better sense of the space and allows you to build trust with the landlord. At Docked Living, we offer in-person and virtual tours of all our co-living spaces—just click here to schedule one. We ensure that what you see is exactly what you get.
Check Neighborhood Safety
Moving to a new city can be overwhelming, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the neighborhood’s safety. Use resources like CityProtect.com to review crime rates in the area. Docked Living properties are located in safe, well-maintained neighborhoods, so you can feel confident you’re in a secure environment.
Prioritize Your Safety
Whether you’re moving across the country or exploring a new neighborhood, your safety is essential. Keep friends and family updated on your location, stay aware of your surroundings, and trust your instincts. Docked Living fosters a supportive co-living community where you can always feel safe—both at home and when you're out.
