Deciding to move to a brand new city is an exciting time in anyone’s life, and all of us have our own dream for that “perfect” location that we’d love to call home.  While the pros of any city can make it seem like an ideal place to live, have you really taken into account all of the unique features that make it stand out from other choices on your list?

At Black Tie Moving, our Dallas residential movers want all of our customers to love their moving experience, and we’ve put together the following list of questions you should ask yourself before making plans to move you or your family to an entirely new location:

  • What does the cost of living look like?- There’s more to a city than just the opportunities you can find there—you also have to be able to afford to actually live! The downside of many of the most popular destinations is the high cost of living, and it is essential that you take a hard look at your budget to make sure that you can afford basic necessities like food and housing in your new city.
  • Is the weather something I can handle?- Whether you are moving to a sunnier climate strictly for the weather or you haven’t given it much of a thought, understanding what comes with the climate of your new city is important to ensure that it is a good match for you. Look into the yearly temperatures, severe storm potential, and other weather factors to see if the city lives up to your dreams.
  • Is the crime rate low? -Everyone wants to live in a place that they feel safe in, but crime is a reality in many major cities. Oftentimes, the crime rate can vary greatly between neighborhoods in the same region, so do some research to make sure that the home you are choosing fits with your idea of a safe, family-friendly neighborhood.
  • What is there to do for fun?- Life should never be all work and no play, so check out the culture and activity scene of your new city before committing to a move in the area! Whether you love being out in nature, the city night-life, or exploring the arts, every city has a different vibe and knowing where you’ll feel most at home is important for getting settled into your new life.
