Things that Might Complicate Your Move to Miami

Trust the Florida Moving Service Professionals

Fall is officially upon us! With the impending cold weather becoming more of a reality with every shorter day, you might be thinking about moving south. Somewhere warm, like the coastal city of Miami might be one of the top places on your list. As experts in moving in both Florida and New York, we certainly don’t blame you for having your sights set on sunnier days. Here are a few things to look out for when planning your move to Miami.

1. Be mindful of the weather: As a southern city, Miami is known for its humidity, but frizzy hair days aren’t the only result of lingering moisture in the Miami air. The city is prone to flooding and storms during hurricane season, so keep an eye on the forecast from June to November to avoid getting caught in a moving day storm!

2. New ways of getting around: If you’re an NYC local moving to Miami, the lack of a subway system might seem a little unfamiliar at first, but don’t worry, public transportation is still widespread! Instead of a subway system, Miami locals use a Metrorail (similar to a monorail), a metrobus, and the tram-like Metromover to get around the city. The metromover is free for public use, but the Metrorail and Metrobus require an EASYcard.
3. Traffic is everywhere: Fantastic weather year-round usually comes with year-round tourists who add to traffic in the already populous city of Miami, so traffic can be a serious issue for some. Studies show that the average commute in Miami is 56 minutes, ranking amongst the worst commute times in the country. Plan ahead to stay on time!

4. Miami Time: Perhaps as a result of the terrible traffic or just the warm weather, Miami locals tend to never be on time. Schedules are often loosely followed, and “Miamians” like to show up fashionably late.
