Texas is the fastest-growing state in the nation. Lots of people want to move to Texas, including plenty of people from New York City. If you’re one of the legions who’s planning on moving from New York to the Lone Star state of Texas in the near future, you’ll want to keep these moving tips in mind:
1) Get Ready for Warm Weather. Really, Really Warm Weather.
90 degrees in Manhattan is cause for alarm. In Texas, that’s a normal, everyday summer temperature. When downsizing for your move, heavily purge your winter wardrobe. You’re not going to need heavy coats and snow gear in Texas.
2) Everything is Bigger in Texas – Including Homes!
Housing is affordable in Texas, and the homes are larger. The average 1 bedroom apartment is 870 square feet – that’s at least 40 sq feet larger than you’ll find in Manhattan, and you can expect to pay hundreds, even thousands, less each month.
3) Working with Experienced Long Distance Moving Company is a Must
In an ideal situation, with great weather, no traffic delays or roadwork, driving a moving truck from NYC to Texas takes approximately 27 hours. If things get complicated, it can take much longer. Working with an experienced, reliable long-distance moving company means your move from NYC to Texas can go off without a hitch.
4) Make Sure Your Pets Are Vaccinated
Texas requires that dogs and cats that are moving into the state have current rabies vaccinations before they’re allowed to move into the state. There are particularly complex rules if you’re trying to move a horse into Texas, but we’re going to go out on a limb here and guess you weren’t keeping a string of ponies in your Brooklyn apartment.
5) Get Ready for a Good Time
Texans pride themselves on their quality of life for a reason. If you love food, live music, and football, you’re going to adore life in Texas. There’s lots of outdoor activities and a thriving cultural scene that seriously rivals what you’ve left behind in NYC. People may dress a little differently than you’re used to – and they’ll definitely be friendlier! – so give yourself a little time to adjust to the culture shock, and then, get ready for a good time!
