As you make your way to your new home, you can rely on Piece of Cake Moving and Storage to make your move a breeze.

Our top moving tips when moving to Atlanta

It’s good to know that the climate in your new Southern home will be a bit different than in New York. Winters are mild in Atlanta and snow is not common. That said, you may want to lean into your New York experience and stock up on grocery staples if the weather calls for the wintery flakes.

Atlanta summers, however, are hot and pretty humid. There’s a reason why they call it Hotlanta! You may find shelter on those hot days in the city under a tree — along with your city-dwelling neighbors (just under 500,000 of them).

What the city lacks in population density for its size, it may make up for in being a “City in a Forest” with about 48% of the Metro Atlanta area that’s covered in trees. As you might imagine, there’s even more to learn as you make plans to relocate to Atlanta, including:

  • Cost of Living: Moving to ATL, the overall cost of living may be slightly more expensive than the national average. That said, health care and groceries are just below the average across the country. Housing can be a bit more expensive and the median home cost is at $334,200. For city-dwellers looking to rent, the average monthly cost for a studio may be around $1058, all the way to $1857 for a 4 bedroom pad. Atlanta residents have a median household income of $59,948, which may help you put some of the day-to-day costs in context. The state imposes a 4% sales tax, which may be lower than some other states. However, with the added city and county sales tax, you may be looking at 8.9% for those making purchases in the city limits (for reference, the sales tax in NYC is 8.875%). The income tax in the state of Georgia is similar to several other states with a progressive rate ranging from 1% to 5.75%. Where you fall in that range depends on how much you make.
  • “ITP” or “OTP”?: When it comes to where you live in the area, you may hear folks talking about your address being ITP or OTP; ITP stands for “Inside the perimeter” and OTP stands for “Outside the perimeter.” In the case of Atlanta, the perimeter line is the loop created by Interstate 285. For those seeking the lights and excitement of city life, an address inside of the I-285 loop may be a desirable location. There, you’ll be close to all the big-city amenities, cultural events, and the ability to more easily use public transit (or walk on foot) to get where you’re going. An OTP address may yield more of a quieter, less expensive, and suburban experience. However, you’ll still be a short jaunt from all the action of the city. What you’re hoping to get out of your new home and your budget may help determine the best home address for you.
  • Sights and sounds: No matter your location or the day on the calendar, there’s something going on in this bustling city. Being a music-centered hub, there’s no shortage of festivals to celebrate the city sounds. Mark your calendars for the Atlanta Jazz Festival, Music Midtown Atlanta, and the Candler Park Music and Food Festival to get an earful. If celebrating local flora and fauna seems worthy of festivities, you could also check out the Annual Flying Colors Butterfly Festival featuring all things butterfly- and pollinator-related. These calendar events aren’t where the attractions end, however. Locations of historical and cultural significance abound in Atlanta. Catch a show (of the rock or stage musical variety) at the historic Fox Theatre. Or, perhaps you’ll fancy a stroll through Centennial Olympic Park, a legacy of hosting the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. You can also explore the city’s rich history of the Civil Rights Movement at a number of locations, including Martin Luther King Jr. National Park and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. In addition to these places, you may want to keep a few in your pocket, including the World of Coca-Cola, the Georgia Aquarium, and the city’s Botanical Garden for taking friends and family who visit.
  • Calling all sports fans: This city has it all when it comes to professional sports. Get your foam fingers ready to cheer on the NFL Atlanta Falcons team at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. If you need energy to root on your home team, this stadium offers lower-cost “fan-first pricing” foods to feed your fandom. Another local team that plays at the same location is the Atlanta United soccer club. Nearby the stadium, you go to the State Farm Arena to sit courtside at a NBA Atlanta Hawks or the WNBA Atlanta Dream game. For those seeking a cheap seat to enjoy their peanuts and cracker jack, sitting in the stands of an MLB Atlanta Braves baseball game may be as low as $5 a seat.
  • Commuting and travel: Driving in personal vehicles is pretty common throughout this city and traffic is heavy. Atlanta is actually one of the most congested cities in the country when it comes to traffic. Due to congestion, commuters endured about 37 hours of delay due to the congestion on the roads and consumed an extra 15 gallons of gas in the last year. If you’re accustomed to public transportation, MARTA may be worth checking out as the city’s primary bus, train, and streetcar system. Standard fare is $2.50, though streetcar rides are $1.00 unless you’re a child under 46 inches, then there’s no fare charge for either. If your business or pleasure takes you outside of the metro area, you may be running into congestion at the airport as well. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world with 43 million passengers in the last year. That said, you can travel from Atlanta to 150 domestic and 75 international destinations from your new hometown airport.

    From start to finish my move was a great experience. I immediately got a quote. The scheduling was easy, and they provided me with information regarding insurance coverage (and took care of the paperwork my building provided). The move itself went like clockwork. The movers arrived on time and texted me when they were on their way with an ETA to the delivery site. They moved everything up the 3 flights of stairs into my apartment quickly and safely. A great company that provides great service at very reasonable rates.

    They were awesome! They take everything apart and then re assemble for you.They wrap up your tvs and glass shit professionally. They take the legs off your couch so it fits through doors. Everything's wrapped until it's inside so it doesn't ruin the paint on your walls if they rub against them.Not even a wine glass was chipped.

  • star star star star star

    They came at zero hour after the moving company I initially hired and paid a deposit to canceled. I was freaking out about my move not happening at all but they did get this done and my stuff arrived more or less intact and accounted for. They handled changes and snafus gracefully and earned their money. Hopefully I won't be moving again for a long time but if I get forced into that again, I'll remember this experience.

  • star star star star star

    Was very easy to call and set up a move. The price was good to. I had some mix-ups and needed to add items and even change the date, but they were able to easily accommodate. Day of the move the crew was super nice and professional. They quickly packed up the entire apartment with ease, I didn't really lift a finger. They made what is usually a stressful day pretty easy.

  • star star star star star

    I was amazed how efficient the guys were. they sorted out my items to be removed and, went straight to work. We will definitely use A Piece of Cake multiple times in the future until, we officially make the BIG MOVE! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP....YES, IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE! NO STRESS INVOLVED...JUST SWEET SERVINGS.....

  • star star star star star

    Piece of Cake Moving was phenomenal to work with. From the initial sale, to the follow up, to the day of delivery. The moving crew themselves were a dream to work with. I honestly don't know how they managed to move everything we'd accumulated over the years in such a short (relatively) period of time. Will definitely use them again (in hopefully 7-8 years).

    Jose and his team did a great job moving my husband and I. They arrived on time and were very organized. They were professional, courteous and moved us quickly. They wrapped our furniture very well. They took apart and put together our bed and sectional couch. We were very pleased and would recommend them.

  • star star star star star

    Nicholas and Giga made this moving experience an easy one, especially since I was moving alone. They were punctual, kind and very thoughtful. When we arrived to my apartment? They helped unwrap all the packing tape and set up my furniture and bed - something that would take probably days for me. They delivered excellent service and went beyond my expectations.

  • star star star star star

    Excellent moving company. I hired 2 men for 2 hours to complete 1 bedroom move. They arrived early, were extremely efficient, helpful, personable, strong, and careful. They finished the job with 45 min to spare. Everything went extremely smoothly. I would hire Piece of Cake again.

  • star star star star star

    Great move with POC movers! I rented their pink bins which was an excellent choice, they provide plenty of packing paper, zip ties, and tags. My team arrived right at the start of their arrival window and quickly and safely packed all my bins and furniture into their truck. The team just as efficiently unloaded everything, leaving the bins in the labeled rooms and re assembling my bed frame. I definitely recommend renting their bins. I would definitely use Piece of Cake movers again and recommend them to a friend.

    The movers were so professional, friendly and quick. They took such great care of my stuff. I happened to move on one of the hottest days of the year and felt so bad. They were gracious and so still worked quickly. Pls make sure you tip your movers good, they work hard and were really great!

  • star star star star star

    I had made an appointment from another moving company that completely screwed me over the day of. I called every moving company in New York freaking out, and Piece of Cake was willing to come at 7pm to help me move, last minute. I genuinely don't know what I would have done if they didn't go out of their way to fit me in. Anytime in the future I will be using piece of cake moving! They boxed and unboxed so fast and efficiently, it was amazing!
