Moving from California to Virginia
The ‘Old Dominion’ is home to spectacular natural beauty, a growing economy, low cost of living and more. If you’re thinking about making a move, this guide will help you explore the major things the state has to offer.
Helpful Moving Tips and What to Know:
• Plan your move during the Spring and Fall due to the excellent temperature and weather.
• If you consider moving in Summer, plan your move in early mornings and late evenings. You should also hydrate often and wear a lot of sunscreen. Summer can be pretty hot and intolerable.
• If you consider a move in Winter, drive carefully, slowly and plan ahead. Snowfall causes major traffic tie-ups and school closings.
• Check on local moving restrictions before moving. Some apartment buildings won’t allow you to move in during the weekend. You also may need to reserve a freight elevator or arrange access to a special delivery area behind your building.
• It is necessary to obtain a Virginia driver’s license within 30 days of moving to the state.
• Cost of living: The amount spent on your home, groceries, utilities, transportation, and healthcare depends entirely on the area in which you move. Urban places like Arlington will be more expensive than rural areas.
• Transportation: Virginia cities have effective public transport with buses, rails, and airport services. However, during the Winter, snow might lead to closed-off roads, bridges and schools. Melting snow and spring rains can cause accidents, potholes and other damage to the road surface.
• Climate: Summers are hot and humid. Winter can be cold and harsh, especially in the mountain to the west. Spring is the most pleasant season but it’s accompanied by plant-related allergies-sneezing, watery eyes and runny nose. Fall is calm and mild.
• Education: Virginia is home to public schools, private schools, colleges and universities. The district is known for its high level of education and has won many accolades over the years.
• Government: Visit virginia.gov for more state and legal information and mandatory tasks.
