Have you been thinking about moving to Portland, Maine lately? If so, there are a few things you need to consider doing in order to prepare for your move. The first thing you should consider is researching life in Portland in order to determine whether or not it is the right place for you and your family. This involves learning more about the cost of living as well as some of the best reasons for moving to the area. Secondly, you should look into a minimum of three different moving companies, comparing moving services and rates, so that you can make the best decision when it comes to hiring interstate movers.

Additionally, we’ll be telling you more about our moving services so that you have a better idea of why we’re the best movers in the nation. With all of this information, you’ll be better prepared to move forward with the moving process. Let’s get started!

Before we tell you more about the long-distance and local moving services offered here at Poseidon Moving and Storage, allow us to tell you more about life in Portland. In the over 20 years that we have helped people just like you move to Portland, we’ve learned quite a bit about the area. For this reason, our movers have compiled a list of some of the best reasons to move to Portland. With a population of 66,025 as of 2020’s estimates, Portland is the largest city in the state of Maine. Many people choose to move to Portland each year. So why do so many people feel themselves drawn to the city? Let’s find out!

One of the best reasons for moving to Portland is actually found in its population. As more and more people are moving to and seeking out new small cities, Portland has simultaneously gained significant attention on a national scale as one of the best small city environments around, all while maintaining a sustainable population of 65 to 70 thousand people. The benefits of this are numerous. For one, a low population results in lower levels of pollution. Secondly, the low population means the schools are far less crowded than in many major cities in the United States. While Portland may be a small city, it frequently makes national lists for its big-time culture.

Another great reason to move to Portland is found in the cost of living. As is often the case when moving to a small city, those moving to Portland will find Portland’s cost of living is an essential aspect of its dynamic and accessible way of life. Ranked Forbes Magazine’s “Most Liveable City” in 2009, as well as AARP The Magazine’s 2011 “Most Affordable Place to Retire”, Portland is well-known for its financial accessibility. Those looking for a place where their dollar will go a bit further should strongly consider moving to Portland.

If you consider yourself a mountain lover, one of the best reasons that you could possibly move to Portland is found in its easy access to the mountains. Situated closely to the Adirondack mountain range, some of the oldest mountains on the planet, life in Portland allows for close-by opportunities to hike, ski, and enjoy the Appalachian Trail. Mount Katahdin, considered one of the most beautiful places on the planet by many locals, is just north and is a great place to enjoy an afternoon.

Finally, another reason to move to Portland is Casco Bay, a special place well-loved by locals and tourists alike. A conglomerate of over 200 islands, a handful of which are populated by year round communities, Casco Bay is a place you simply have to see to believe. The populated islands each have something to offer visitors whether it be ice cream on Peaks Island, sunset kayak tours off the East End Beach, or the sense-garden on Mackworth Island. When moving to Portland, you’ll find yourself falling in love with Casco Bay in no time.

Some of the most popular neighborhoods in Portland include Old Port, Back Cove, Munjoy Hill,West End, and Peaks Island. Each of these neighborhoods has something unique to offer residents and make for great places to live. You’ll surely find the perfect neighborhood for you and your family when moving to Portland!

Now that you know more about what life is like in Portland, it is likely that you’re feeling better prepared to make the move there.

Now that you know everything you need to know about moving to Portland, as well as a better idea of the quality offered by Poseidon Moving and Storage, it’s time for a couple of moving tips that can further simplify the process. Our movers have a few recommendations that you can use to make your move to Portland a more pleasant experience rather than a stress-inducing ordeal.

The first moving tip that we have to offer is that you should always start the process of preparing for a move by creating a moving checklist. A moving checklist is a list of all of the tasks that you will need to complete to prepare for your move. With so many things to remember during the moving process, it’s incredibly easy to forget about an all-important task. Make things easier on yourself by listing out all of your tasks in one place, marking them off as completed. You’d be surprised just how much time you can save when creating a moving checklist.

Secondly, we highly recommend using the right size boxes when packing for your move to Portland. Place heavy items such as books in small boxes and lighter items into smaller boxes. This will make it much easier to organize and pack boxes into the moving truck on moving day. You should also be sure to further simplify things by packing heavier items on the bottom of the box and lighter items on the top. This will make everything much easier to carry. Good luck!!
