How to Plan Your City to City Home Move

As exciting as it is to move to a new city, it is also rather frightening to anticipate living without your old neighborhood, your old hangouts, and your old network to help you unpack. Here are some tips to help a little with your relocation.

Moving to A New City Means Planning

Failing to prepare means preparing to fail” is an overused phrase for a reason! The best way to ensure a smooth move from city to city is to spend sufficient time planning ahead.

If possible, take leave to go and experience the new city as a resident rather than someone on holiday. It is advisable to rent until you are certain in which neighborhood you would like to set up permanent roots. When considering the different areas of your new city, take note of:

  • Average price range on rentals
  • Convenience of location to potential job opportunities and social life
  • Kid or pet-friendly apartments
  • Crime rate
  • Quality of nearby kids’ schools
  • Childcare
  • Doctors, dentist, and other healthcare providers.
  • Stores
  • Consider the monthly cost and convenience of parking a vehicle against the quality of public transport.

Make certain you’ll be able to make ends meet once you’ve moved. Set up a spreadsheet of estimated income and the realistic monthly expenses you expect to incur in your new city. Have at least 6 months’ living expense money saved as a buffer – especially if you are moving without a job lined up.

Settling into Your New City

Making new friends can be easier if you commit to saying “yes” to every opportunity that comes your way. You may have a few misses, but you open yourself up to a whole lot of hits too. By taking photos of the people you meet at events, you can get their email address or Facebook friendship to share the pictures with them.
