Our top moving tips when moving to Connecticut
Our top moving tips when moving to Connecticut
Some of the benefits of moving to Connecticut include a healthy lifestyle, great schools, open outdoors spaces and no shortage of things to do.
Connecticut is well known for distinct seasons with spring cherry blossoms to New England’s longest autumn foliage display. It’s an ideal destination for natural and cultural experiences.
Things to know before moving to Connecticut include:
- Breathtaking coastline. One of the greatest joys of living in Connecticut is enjoying tt’s beautiful coastline with beaches in East Lyme’s Rocky Neck State Park to Silver Sands State Park in Milford. Along with it comes an abundance of fresh seafood for food lovers to enjoy. If sandy beaches are not your style, visit the clean rivers and quarries.
- Rubbing elbows. Despite having more than 3.5 million residents, Connecticut is set on only 5,543 miles and is the third smallest state in the country. Unsurprisingly with that population density, traffic is ranked amongst the worst in the United States, exacerbated by all the visitors from Boston and New York City. It’s worth a reminder here that after you arrive you have 60 days to visit the local DMV and transfer your registration to your new home state and 30 days to update the details of your licence.
- Taxes. In recent years Connecicut was ranked 49th on the high cost of living, edging out only New York on the tax burden for its residents. Notably, property taxes are amongst the highest in the country and almost double the national average. Also high are gas prices, which is more painful given all that time you’ll spend on congested roads.
- The cold bites. The average temperature in Hartford in winter is 20 degrees F, while coastal areas get an average of 15 snow days each year. In the north west of the state, Norfolk can see up to 80 inches of snow per year, so you may want to invest in a snow shovel!
- Ticks. Packing a smaller bite than the cold, but nonetheless important to note is the variety of tick species in Connecticut. Two new species were first identified here in 2019, adding to the deer ticks and American dog ticks that can spread Lyme disease, named after the Connecticut town of Lyme where it originated, as well as babesiosis and other illnesses. After removing the tick, watch for symptoms and get medical advice for any reaction.
- Ivy League. The oldest university in the state, Yale, is also one of the most prestigious in the world. It leads an impressive mix of higher education options for residents including the University of Connecticut which is the largest school in the state. The United States Coast Guard Academy can also be found here, one of 5 federally run service academies.
