How to Successfully Move to a New State

This post may contain affiliate links. Read full disclosure.

by Maxanne

There are a few rules that we all need to follow, but by and large, life is a “choose your own adventure” kind of arrangement. If you want to do something, then you can mostly just do it. 

For example, no law says that you have to stay forever and ever in the state in which you were born. It’s a big old country out there, after all, and there can be a lot of value in packing up your belongings and moving to a new state. 

Ready to take the plunge? Follow the top tips outlined below to ensure that your move is a success. 

Do Your Research

You could move without doing any research whatsoever, but in truth, that’ll make your chances of success less likely. You might have an idea of what it would be like to live in a particular state, but there could be a big gap between your idea and the actual reality of living there.

Before you make a decision, be sure to conduct as much research as possible. You’ll want to learn what’s good about living there, what’s bad, how much it costs, the type of people you’ll find there, and things like that.

Remember: knowledge is key!

Find a Landing Pad

You’ll want to settle into a happy home eventually, but that shouldn’t be on day one. When you first move, you’ll want to live in temporary accommodations.

That’ll allow you to figure out which part of your new home you want to live in. It takes a little bit of time to get a sense of which neighborhood would be right for your needs.

You may also keep your property in your current state until you’ve found a more permanent home, which may take a few weeks. 

Moving Your Belongings

You’ll be starting a new life when you move to a new state, but you won’t be starting completely anew. You’ll want to take your belongings with you, for instance.

And that can be a challenge. If you’ve ever moved your goods to a new house within the same city, then you’ll know how difficult it can be. The difficulty only increases when you’re moving to a new state, too.

The solution? Work with a cross country moving company rather than doing the task yourself. That way, you can move to your new property, secure in the knowledge that your all-important items will be on their way to you. 

Finding Your Community

You’ll be excited to move to your new state, but after a while, there’s a chance that you’ll begin to feel lonely. It does take some bravery to move to a new state, after all! But don’t worry — you’ll feel much better once you’ve found your tribe of friends.

It’s best to give yourself some time to make connections, rather than trying to make it happen straight away. Joining sports clubs, looking for events, and getting involved with work-based activities are all handy ways to meet new people.
