Our top moving tips when moving to Orlando
In terms of the weather, you’ll likely not need to change much about your wardrobe. The average temperatures in Orlando and Miami are much more alike than cities further north in the state. You’ll still experience hot summers and mild winters.
One big difference in your favor is the impact of hurricane season (June 1 to November 30). Moving inland to Orlando and away from coastal Miami makes it less likely that you’ll experience the potential dangers of a hurricane.
Another big change: how many people will be sharing your new city with you. Not counting the millions of visitors each year, you’ll be living and working with about 287,442 Orlando residents, as opposed to the 442,241who live in Miami.
Before grabbing your spot in line for the next theme park ride, there are a few additional must-knows before relocating to Orlando:
- Not just theme parks: Already having lived in Florida, you’re no doubt familiar with the city’s robust offering of theme parks. However, for those seeking adventure beyond the rollercoasters, there’s over 100 other parks to enjoy in the city with their own interesting attractions. At Big Tree Park, you can see the city’s oldest tree, which is estimated to be between 350 and 400 years old. History and aviation buffs may be interested in checking out refurbished F-4 Phantom aircraft from the Vietnam war at Colonel Joe Kittinger Park. For some recreation just outside the city, you may head on over to the Orlando Wetlands. The address is officially in Christmas, FL and this man-made park is a sight for reclaimed water treatment. However, it boasts some additional visitor amenities, including a bit of wildlife watching, horseback riding, and guided tours of the facilities and grounds.
- Being a local: You may consider checking out a number of local haunts and events as you acclimate to living in Orlando. To check out some local shops and enjoy a taste of the local flavor (including a world-class ramen restaurant), visiting the East End Market may scratch that itch. If you’ve been looking to add some local art to your collection, Orlando Flea may be another stop on your list. After a long day of perusing the local offerings, bring the family to enjoy a free outdoor movie at Popcorn Flicks in the Park. Screenings take place after sunset on the second Thursday of each month. Frequent festival goers can still hit the pavement to check out Orlando’s annual Film Fest and fill up a bowl or two at the Orlando Chili Cookoff. For those ready to root, root, root for the home team(s) — make sure to pencil in time to watch the NBA Orlando Magic, the Orlando Solar Bears ice hockey team, and the Orlando City Soccer Club score some points!
- Cost of living: While some parts of your day-to-day life will change, one tax related item won’t; you’ll still enjoy not having to pay state income tax in Florida. Orlando does have a slightly higher cost of living than the national average though, but many cost differences will improve in your favor with a move a bit further north. Many things cost less in Orlando as compared to Miami. When it comes to housing, rent is just over 30% cheaper in Orlando. The median monthly rent for people living in the city is about $1,169. Folks who have a mortgage and a house in Orlando have a median monthly payment of $1,629. Date night out will be about 16% less expensive than in Miami — so add a glass of wine or cake to share to the tab, too. Planning ahead and making reservations may be a good idea, as this city sees about 68 million visitors per year. To avoid traffic slow-downs, you may also want to consider if public transportation is a good option for you. The SunRail (at $3.75 round trip fare) and Lynx, offering bus and vanpool options (between $2.00 one-trip fare and $50 for a monthly pass).
- Key industries: You may not be surprised to learn that the service industry hires quite a few people in the area and that Travel and Tourism are key industries in The City Beautiful. Other big industries in Orlando include digital media and modeling, simulation, and training for aerospace, aviation, healthcare, entertainment, medical technology, homeland security, and more. Darden Restaurant Group (the parent company to a few of your favorite chain restaurants like Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen, and others) and AAA are headquartered in Orlando. Siemens, Lockhead Martin, and Deloitte all have regional offices here as well.
- A little history, arts, and culture: What you may not know about Orlando is that the origin of the city’s name is not clear. A few theories exist, including being based on a character’s name from Shakespeare’s play “As You Like It” and potentially being named after a military man who battled in the Seminole Wars. Once you’ve moved in, perhaps you could do some additional sleuthing yourself! And, there’s more history to discover where that came from. Perhaps you can plan a visit to the hotel that was turned into a museum, Wells’Built House which was established to commemorate African American history in the city. If the book The Dharma Bums is a well worn favorite on your bookshelf, you may want to check out the Jack Keroauc house. The author took up residence there as he wrote the book. For those itching to get their arts and sciences fix, there’s always the Orlando Museum of Art and the Orlando Science Center to visit as well.
