The Challenge of Starting Fresh
A long-distance move can be exciting and intimidating. You’re not just changing your address — you’re changing your lifestyle, your routines, and your sense of community. The key to success? Planning ahead and getting local fast.
Research Before You Arrive
Before moving, learn about your new neighborhood’s amenities, schools, and traffic patterns. Join local Facebook groups and community forums to connect with residents early. DeVries Moving can help coordinate your delivery schedule so you arrive when your new home is ready.
Bring Familiar Comforts
Keep sentimental items — like photos, keepsakes, or favorite décor — with you rather than in the moving truck. These personal touches make any new space feel like home right away.
Explore Immediately
Once you’re settled, explore your new surroundings. Try local restaurants, parks, and events. The faster you engage, the quicker your new town feels familiar.
Make your move feel local from day one. DeVries Moving provides long-distance relocation services that turn any new city into home sweet home.
