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.

    Just did my move from NYC to CT with Piece of Cake and had a fantastic experience. The process was smooth, courteous, and fast. Very friendly movers (Jozo and team) who worked hard and efficiently. They packed everything, dismantled only what was absolutely necessary and set it all up at the drop off location. I was thrilled having them as my movers and will definitely use them again in the future. Conclusion: If you have to move, congratulations, you found your crew. Book these guys and you will be happy.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.....

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!
