How to use Venterra’s Touchless Package Management
It’s no surprise that package deliveries have increased with more people working remotely and children attending school from home. Managing online shopping and package deliveries efficiently has resulted in the need of a more seamless and safe experience.
As the pandemic shifts the multifamily industry and how we offer amenities, there have been some unique opportunities to provide innovative and seamless ways to provide package management services. Venterra’s SMARTPACKAGE lockers now offer a safer and easier way for residents to retrieve their packages with a touch-less experience.
There are two contact-free package pick-up methods available to properties with our SMARTPACKAGE lockers:
- Barcode: Scan the barcode included in your delivery notification (email or text) to open the locker door without having to use the touchscreen.
- Mobile App: Download the Parcel Pending mobile app (available for download on the App Store or Google Play Store). By scanning the barcode or pushing the button in the app notification, the locker door will open without having to use the touchscreen.
Convenient Self-Guided Apartment Tours and Contactless Move-In Experience
Self-guided apartment tours available at Venterra communities.
While some restrictions are being lifted as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we understand it can still be unsettling to be in public, while being respectful of social distancing orders. This fear may cause people to postpone major life decisions, including moving into a new apartment home. Now more than ever, it’s imperative to embrace technology in order to offer a wider variety of convenient touring options, including self-guided apartment tours.
At Venterra, we have you covered. We’re excited to now offer a no-contact, self-guided apartment tour option at many of our communities. Future residents can now use their smart devices to schedule and perform tours of our available apartment homes.
We are also taking extra steps to ensure your safety and the safety of our employees and residents at our apartment communities. Aside from implementing enhanced cleaning protocols, we are using LAST™, a hospital grade disinfectant and antimicrobial coating on our hard surfaces, providing an extra layer of protection for up to 30 days.
If you aren’t interested in a self–guided tour, we are also offering in-person tours with our award-winning customer experience leaders by appointment.
Here’s How to Schedule Your Self-Guided Tour
- Visit Venterraliving.com & select a property
- Select the apartment that you are interested in, and click on Schedule a Tour

Venterra Realty applies LAST™ advanced disinfectant at communities
As apartment community managers reassess cleaning protocols to ensure the health and safety of our residents, the adaptation of intensive disinfecting and cleaning methods remains a high priority. With a strong focus on high-touch surfaces in common areas, such as door handles, mailboxes, desks, vending machines, and more, anything that gets touched frequently in common areas is a prime candidate for disinfecting.
Venterra Realty uses LAST™ from Dis.In.Fx. LAST™ to aid in protection from COVID-19 in common areas and apartment amenities. Going beyond our gold standard of cleanliness, applying LAST™ disinfects hard surfaces and provides protection for up to 90 days.
Venterra is now offering LAST™ treatments to our residents at specific communities. Sign up for your LAST™ treatment on the Venterra SMARTHUB.

Tips for Moving into your new Apartment at Valencia at Westchase
Welcome to Valencia at Westchase
Congratulations! You’ve finally moved into your new home at Valencia at Westchase Apartments and cannot wait to settle into this new chapter in your life. Moving (as you may recall) can be a bit stressful–packing up your old life, discarding what serves or doesn’t serve you anymore (and if you’re into doing this Konmari style, it can add even more to your move), finding movers, changing your address, switching utilities…the list goes on and on.
You get into your new home and realize, you threw out your old shower curtain or packed your knives or scissors and can’t easily open your boxes. And you’ve moved into a completely new area or neighborhood and haven’t learned where everything is. And just like that the stress continues.
Moving and settling in doesn’t have to be stressful. This is a transitory time and one that you want to remember fondly. So before you begin unpacking or creating a space of anxiety and resistance around unpacking, take some time to follow these guidelines.
- Take a deep breath. Soak in all that it took to get you to this place. You just made a big move! Take a moment to calm yourself and really get present to your new space.
- Find gratitude. You’ve made it through a lot of obstacles and changes to get here. No matter how you do it, moving does not come stress free. Even if you hired people to pack and move your things, you still have to mentally prepare yourself for the changes coming. Make a list of all that you are grateful for and all of the support you received to get to this place.
- Create a plan. Which room makes the most sense to start with unpacking? You’ll likely want to sleep in your room your first night, so perhaps it’s setting up your bed and getting it ready for slumber. And you know you’ll be in your bathroom, so maybe next you gather your toiletries and essentials so they’re ready for bedtime.
- Start with one box at a time. We often think we’re superhuman and can do multiple things at once. While that may work for some, the likelihood is that most of us are Wonder Woman. It can be overwhelming when you look at all of your boxes and think about how long it’s going to take to unpack and put everything in its new place. Turn on some fun music, grab a beer or glass of wine, and start with one box! And when you finish that one, start with the next and before you know it, you’ve unpacked multiple things!
- Ask for help. We also believe that we can do everything on our own. And while that is often the case, don’t be afraid to ask friends, family, or neighbors for help in unpacking your things. Or use them to pick up food or supplies for you.
→→→ One of the perks at living at a Venterra community is that we’re here to support you. If you have a TV that needs hanging or bed that needs to be put together, simply phone or stop by the office, and we’ll be more than happy to send help your way!
