Before you move, it’s important to get to know your new destination, if at all possible. Visit at least once, if not more. Explore your new neighborhood so that you are at minimum familiar with it.

If you can’t visit your new city or neighborhood, do your research online. There is a lot to learn from public forums and other websites.

If at all possible, speak with connections through friends or family of people already living where you will be moving. Talk to friends or relatives who might know about the city or might have friends there. Knowing several people when you first arrive in a new home can be extremely beneficial and help with your transition easier.

You can sign up to receive regular emails from a news station, blog, or newspaper in your new city to help you get to know it. If you haven’t selected a new home in your new city, online research can once again be crucial when it comes to considering possible neighborhoods and learning more about children’s schools.

Rather than purchasing in an unfamiliar city, you can consider a short-term lease for a flat or home before purchasing. It will help you get to know a neighborhood before you commit to living somewhere by purchasing or a long-term contract.

Begin planning well in advance of your move well in advance of actually moving. The more you plan, the easier it will go. Lists are your new best friend! Make checklists for everything for the move from an inventory of your things before you pack them to lists of things to do before relocating as well as upon arriving at your new place.
