Moving from California to New York can be both exciting and scary. These two states have a lot in common, while they also differ quite obviously. Living in California (popularly known as the Golden State) is a dream for many. California offers great weather all year round with an abundance of recreational activities to enjoy. There are tons of fun things to do and see in this state. From beautiful mountain scenery to exquisite trails and amazing beaches, you will be spoilt for choice on what activities to take on while living in the Golden State.

New York, on the other hand, also offers an exciting living experience for most people. This bustling city (also known as the Big Apple) has numerous job and business opportunities. While the cost of living in both the Golden State and the Big Apple are quite high, the opportunities that abound in both cities make up for this.

Are you planning a long-distance move from California to New York soon? Do you feel ready to make the relocation? Moving can be a daunting process, and it requires lots of planning and preparation to get right. Moving with the right moving company such as GPS Moving and Storage Company will take away the stress associated with moving from your relocation process.

We have been in the business of moving America for over 20 years now with resounding success. Our company is headquartered in San Diego, CA, but we move our clients to any corner of this country with pleasure.

What to Expect When You Move to New York From California

The Big Apple state has plenty to offer anyone relocating there from any part of the country or world. Whenever you think of New York, the bustling city of New York comes to mind. However, this state has much more to offer than the hustle and bustle that comes with living in the capital. Here are some of the distinct differences and similarities that New York has with California.

Difference in weather

The Californian allure is mainly in its all-year-round great weather. It is typically warm and sunny all through the year in California, a huge contrast to New York. In the Big Apple state, you will get to experience all four seasons of the year. The winter and fall may be quite different from what you experience in California.

Wonderful fall colors and lower temperatures are the hallmarks of the fall season in New York. You will also get to experience white winters, with snow piling in throughout the winter months. This will give you a great opportunity to try out different outdoor activities such as ice skating, sledding, and even a spot of ice hockey.

Cost of living

New York is generally an expensive state to live in. However, cities that are further away from the capital such as Albany, Buffalo, and Saratoga Springs (among others) offer a lower cost of living. Gas and other utilities cost more if you live in the capital of New York. But further out, the cost of living is much more affordable.

Transportation

Moving around in California is easier if you have a car since the public transportation system is not so efficient. New York, on the other hand, has a highly efficient public transportation system. Residents of Manhattan can get by without having to own a car. Moving around in the capital is far more effective and affordable via the public transportation system. However, outside the city of New York, moving around will be more convenient if you have a car.

Recreational activities

California offers a wide array of outdoor activities thanks to the sunny weather all year round. Regardless of this, New Yorkers never run out of things to do. New York has some of the country’s most popular attractions including the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Broadway, Empire State Building, and Central Park, among others. Plus, the nightlife in this city is always buzzing. And the food culture is amazing.

Outside the city of New York, you can enjoy breathtaking views at the Letchworth State Park, or enjoy a scenic hike through the mountains of the Catskills. There is something for everyone to enjoy in this diverse state.

How to Prepare for a Long-Distance Move from California to New York

Preparations for a long-distance move should be made quite early to avoid a last-minute rush. Moving from California to New York needs adequate time to get all the aspects of your relocation covered well.

Here are some of the most important points to cross off your moving checklist.

Research your new destination

Moving to a new city or state means that there could be a lot that you need to change about your current lifestyle. For instance, the move from California to New York could mean selling off your car if you will live within New York City. The kind of clothes you will need will change depending on which season you will arrive in New York. Find out what you need to stock up on and what you will not need to carry along.

Prepare a moving calendar

As long-distance movers for over 20 decades, we always insist on having a moving calendar. When should you start preparing for a long-distance move? What are your moving dates? When do you plan to arrive in New York? All of these dates will have a bearing on when to have your move. A moving calendar will also help you prepare a detailed list of moving tasks in order of their urgency. As you finish off each task and mark it off your list, you will get some peace of mind that your relocation is going as planned.

Declutter

Use the 1-year rule. And that is - If you have not used it in a year, get rid of it. Decluttering is especially important to help you know what you will keep, what you will sell, and what you will trash. Go through your items methodically and create three categories. You will be surprised just how much clutter you can accumulate in a few short years. Do not move with items that you do not need. This will help you to cut down on packing costs as well as storage.

Get help

Moving long distances can be very stressful if you do not get help. Consider hiring the services of professional long-distance moving companies like GPS Moving and Storage. Our moving service has handled hundreds of long-distance moves from California to New York with great ease. We know how to prepare for a move and have a successful relocation. We offer a wide array of moving services that can be customized to your needs.
