What to Expect When Moving from California to Florida

Before relocating, you’ll want to consider the cost of living and the cost of moving. 

Perhaps the first thing you will notice about Florida as a transplant from California is how much more affordable it is. Although the cost of living in Florida is slightly higher than the national average, it is still over 60% cheaper than in California. The cost of living in Florida vs. California will vary depending on where you live. You will certainly find that real estate prices, groceries, and transportation costs are all cheaper in Florida. In fact, the median home price in Orlando sits at $245,000, while it is $689,000 in Los Angeles. That’s a staggering 180% difference! In addition to more affordable housing costs, Florida is one of only seven states that do not have a state income tax. 

Long-distance moves can be expensive, and that’s why North American works to provide customers with moving services that are both reliable and affordable. At North American, we understand the financial stress of moving and that’s why we work to customize a move that’s just right for you and your budget. The average linehaul moving cost from California to Florida with North American is $4,500. 

Of course, there are many variables that will determine the actual price such as the exact distance of the move, the number of items being moved, and additional services such as packing and unpacking.
