Moving to Nashville from NYC

Early summer is the ideal time to move from NYC to Nashville. Many leases end in May – the end of the academic year – meaning the inventory of available apartments and homes is at its peak. And as moving day weather goes, summer in Nashville can’t be beat. Here’s what to expect from your NYC to Nashville move:

Relatively Affordable Housing

People who live in Nashville think Nashville is expensive, but that’s largely because they’ve never had to rent a one bedroom in Manhattan. You can get a pretty nice place for $1,100-$1,500 a month and best of all, while you can work with a broker to find your new home, you don’t have to.  Plan on paying three months’ worth of rent – first, last & security deposit – before you’ll be handed the keys.

A Busy City Environment

Just because Nashville’s got a reputation for country music doesn’t mean you’re going to be in the country. Nashville is a good-sized city, with a population of more than 660,000. It’s amazingly diverse with many immigrants. Public transportation is limited to the bus; that being said, Nashville is a very walk & bike-friendly city.

Traffic Can Be a Hassle

Nashville can be congested. Many of the workplace commute issues you may have experienced driving into or in New York City you’ll find in Nashville. On the upside, the winter weather is far superior – when Nashville received 7 inches of snow in one night, it was called a once-in-a-century storm.

Choosing an NYC Moving Company for Your Move to Nashville

Moving to Nashville from NYC is a long distance move. You’ll want to work with a professional moving company because driving a moving truck packed with an entire household’s worth of possessions for 13+ hours is not a job for amateurs. Remember, pets can’t travel in the moving truck, so you’ll have to have a way for them to travel to Nashville with you.
