Ready to Make the Move from Dallas to Connecticut?

Whether you’ve decided to move from Dallas, TX to Connecticut for a job, a change of scenery, or to be close to family/friends, you’re taking a big step. When you move cross-country from a southern state to a northern one, you will have to get used to the culture change, weather differences, and much more. Luckily, Shleppers is a CT moving company, so we can offer lots of great advice and insight into life in Connecticut.

Cost of Living in Connecticut

If you’re moving to Connecticut from Dallas, you won’t have to worry about a huge difference in the cost of living. While some costs such as groceries and utilities will be a bit more in Connecticut, housing is much cheaper. Of course, some areas in Connecticut might be more expensive to live in, but you could very well end up paying less to live in Connecticut than in Dallas depending on the area. Even if you do end up paying more to live in Connecticut, the quality of life there is very high; poverty rates are low, job growth is good, and most residents earn an above-average household income.

What to Do for Fun in Connecticut

Although Connecticut is small, there is plenty of fun for everyone. If you live near the coast, you can head down to the beach to enjoy the sand, water, and sunshine. Even if the beach isn’t your thing, Connecticut has plenty of boardwalks with shops, restaurants, and bars for you to enjoy. Since Connecticut is one of the original 13 colonies of the United States, it has a rich historical scene as well. Check out its many museums, towns, and universities. Moving to Connecticut from Dallas also means you don’t have to drive hours and hours just to get out of the state. Connecticut is close to many exciting cities like New York, Providence, and Boston.

Connecticut Weather

Unlike in Dallas, you will fully experience all four seasons in Connecticut. If you’re used to mild Texas winters, prepare for freezing temperatures and snow during the winter months in Connecticut. In the summer, you likely won’t experience many days that are 100 degrees as you would in Dallas. It will get hot, but not quite that hot. Because Connecticut has a beautiful landscape that includes lots of wooded areas, you’ll get to enjoy seeing all the brightly colored leaves in the fall.
