Moving From Phoenix to New York City - Tips From Long Distance Movers

If you have ever dreamed of moving to the big city, then your move from Phoenix to New York City will fulfill your dreams. And if you’ve lived in NYC and are craving a warmer climate and lots of outdoor activities, then you are going to love your move to Phoenix.

But regardless of which direction you’re moving, moving is stressful. Choosing the right moving company relieves much of the stress related to moving.

Climate

New York City residents experience all four seasons. And the city is sunny recording an average of 234 days with some sunshine. Winter weather is tempered by the warming effects of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s warmer than inland cities that are located farther south. Summers are warm and humid, with an occasional heat wave. Spring and fall are variable with cool spells followed by warms spells.

The Big City

New York City is the not only the most populated city but the most densely populated too – boasting 8.6 million residents. The Metro New York City area is home to some 20 million people. The Metro area includes all of Long Island, and parts of New Jersey and Connecticut.

Where you work might determine where you live. However, with the New York mass transit system, New York City has a low personal car ownership rate. Over 50 percent of workers use public transit. Some commuters utilize the Staten Island Ferry.

Housing and Cost of Living

According to Sperling’s Best Places, New York City’s cost of living index is 180, with the U.S. average calculated at 100. Housing costs are expensive compared to the rest of the U.S. Relatively speaking, the high housing costs aren’t just in New York City – the high cost of housing extends throughout the metro area.

Most probably, downsizing will be part of your moving plans. You might not need a car so with careful planning, many new residents are comfortable with their move to New York. Being flexible about housing is a key factor in your adjustment.

Planning Your Move
