Top Reasons People Move from Illinois

Illinois is rich in culture, education, and opportunity—but there are many reasons families and professionals decide to relocate out of state:

✓ High Living Costs: Chicago’s cost of living is 20–30% higher than national averages. Many families look to relocate to states like Tennessee, Florida, or Texas to reduce housing and tax burdens.

✓ Career Relocation: Tech, healthcare, and logistics professionals often leave Illinois for growing job markets in cities like Austin, Charlotte, or Phoenix.

✓ Lifestyle & Climate: Harsh winters and dense traffic can be a dealbreaker for some. Warmer climates and open spaces are major attractions for those leaving the Midwest.

No matter your reason, Poseidon Moving offers expert support and coordination for your transition—making sure you start fresh without stress.

Booking Poseidon Moving services couldn't have been easier and the attention given couldn't have been topped. Oleg was a great communicator and we got plenty of emailed information on what to expect moving day and how to best prepare for it. On moving day, communication with the moving crew was clear and concise. The moving team was careful with our belongings and efficient moving things out and into our new place. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Everything about using Poseidon was great! Professional and fast service, and everything arrived in perfect condition right on time. The price and delivery window for my cross country move was by far the most ideal.

Poseidon just moved my furniture from Boston to San Francisco, and they did an amazing job. They took great care packing my furniture with padding and blankets, and everything arrived in perfect condition. They stuck to their pick-up and delivery dates, and the upfront pricing was spot on—no surprise charges. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

They really have a very nice team. I have used their services not once but twice. First time within Massachusetts and Second time Massachusetts to New Jersey. They are a thouroughly professional team at affordable price. We can rely on them and they are flexible enough with our travel plans.
