4 Tips to Help Transition from Florida to New York

By DeVries Moving & Storage Solutions

Packing your bags and moving from Florida to New York is an exciting adventure. New York offers a wealth of culture, educational, and business opportunities for residents, but it can be quite a change from what you may be used to in Florida.

Moving to New York from Florida not only means shrinking your square footage but also adjusting to an entirely new way of life. Before you schedule your household movers, check out these five tips to help ease your transition to your new home.

Four Tips to Help Transition from Florida to New York

1 – Learn the Public Transportation System

The easiest way to navigate the streets of New York is via public transportation. Learning the basics of the subway and bus systems will help you get around and avoid the frustrations of driving in the city. Look into downloading some apps to your phone to help you navigate as you learn!

You’ll also want to keep in mind that on the weekends, the subway can close for repairs, so there can be long delays in riding a train. There are plenty of cabs if your station is closed; just make sure you look for a cab with a lit sign. That indicates the cab is vacant.

2 – Plenty of Parks

When you move to New York from Florida, you will likely be giving up some significant square footage. If you are ever feeling a little cramped or just want to enjoy the great outdoors, take advantage of the numerous parks. Obviously, Central Park offers a great deal to explore, but don’t overlook smaller parks such as Bryant Park or Riverside Park.

3 – Buy some winter boots and mittens

Having just lived in Florida, you are likely used to sunshine, heat, and summer rain showers. While the average temperature of New York in July is 76 degrees, it’s several degrees cooler than the average 82 degrees in Florida. But the biggest difference you will likely notice in weather is the winter. The average temperature in New York during the month of January is only 35 degrees. That’s nearly 30 degrees colder than the average in Florida!

4 – Don’t Be Surprised by Sticker Shock

It isn’t a surprise that New York real estate can be expensive. However, you might not realize that the general cost of living also goes up. Your weekly trips to the grocery store will rise, the cost of getting your hair cut will increase, and you will even see an increase in the price of doing your laundry. The increased expenses are not just because of the higher item cost, but also because of a significantly higher than average state sales tax.

Your Trusted Florida Movers

These tips can help you transition your life from Florida to New York, but first, you have to get all your belongings moved! When you’re ready for the big adventure, a household moving company can ease your relocation. Offering everything from custom crating and packing to vehicle shipping, DeVries Family Moving & Storage takes the headache out of moving.
