Moving from California to Florida
Miles of uninterrupted coastline, fantastic beaches, warm climates, and love for Disney and Harry Potter are common between California and Florida. It’s no surprise that many Californians ultimately move to Florida. Despite their understandable similarities, there is a significant difference in the quality of life between the Sunshine State and the Golden state.
Helpful moving tips and what to know:
– The best time to plan on moving to Florida is November through May due to weather.
– Try to plan your move time to early mornings and late evening and drink plenty of water if you choose to move to Florida in the summer.
– Avoid moving in the hot summer months. Moving during the summer can be very uncomfortable and dangerous.
– Note that in urban areas, traffic can be at a stand-still between 8am and 9am, and 4pm to 6pm.
– Hurricane season starts from Jun 1st to Nov 30th. Make sure to have hurricane preparedness kits that contain non-perishable foods, water, flashlights, a radio, pet food, extra medications, a first aid kit, and lanterns.
– It’s important to remember that you shouldn’t swim in areas that are known to host alligators or approach to feed them. However, Attacks are rare, but be watchful.
– Transportation: The more urban areas have public transportation systems that can be relied on daily. The urban areas are numbered street names that increase and decrease based on the direction you are moving in, hence making it easy to navigate.
– Climate: Summer throughout the state is long, very warm, and relatively humid. Winter is mild with periodic invasions of cool to occasionally cold air. Daily thunderstorms are the norms.
– Cost of living: The cost of living, housing, utilities, healthcare in most cities in Florida is expensive, but not more costly than living in California. Florida does not assess a state income tax compared to California’s 13% tax rate.
– Education: Florida has different public, private schools for K-12 students, Montessori schools, magnet schools, colleges, and universities. Florida boasts a high number of English language students and a 75% graduation rate.
