Pros of Moving from New York to Florida

✓ No State Income Tax

One of the biggest financial perks of moving to Florida is that the state has no personal income tax. For New Yorkers used to paying some of the highest combined state and city taxes in the country, this alone can mean thousands of dollars back in your pocket every year. It's a major reason why retirees, remote workers, and business owners are heading south.

✓ Year-Round Warm Weather

Say goodbye to brutal winters and say hello to sunshine. Florida's climate stays in the 70s and 80s for most of the year. If you're tired of shoveling snow and layering up just to get to work, that alone tends to make the decision easy.

✓ Lower Cost of Living

Compared to New York City, the cost of living across most of Florida is significantly lower. Housing is the starkest difference — a spacious home with a yard in Tampa, Jacksonville, or Orlando costs a fraction of what a comparable apartment runs in the five boroughs. Groceries, dining, and everyday expenses tend to be more manageable as well.

✓ Miami: A World-Class City on Its Own

For those who aren't ready to trade city life for suburbs, Miami is a compelling destination. It has a thriving international business scene, world-class dining and nightlife, a booming tech and finance sector, and one of the most culturally diverse populations in the country — all with ocean access and year-round sunshine.

✓ Growing Job Market

Florida's economy has been expanding steadily, with strong growth in healthcare, technology, finance, and construction. Cities like Miami, Tampa, and Orlando have seen a surge in corporate relocations and new business formation in recent years, creating real opportunity across a wide range of fields.

Cons of Moving from New York to Florida

✗ Hurricane Season

Florida sits squarely in hurricane territory, and every new resident needs to take that seriously. Hurricane season runs from June through November, and while not every year brings a major storm, the risk is real. New homeowners will need to factor in hurricane insurance and, in some areas, storm shutters or impact windows.

✗ The Heat and Humidity

The same weather that draws people in can wear them down by July. Florida summers are intensely hot and humid, with heat indexes regularly topping 100°F. Air conditioning stops being a luxury and becomes a necessity from May through September.

✗ Limited Public Transportation

If you've spent years relying on the New York subway, Florida will be a culture shock. Outside of a few urban areas, a car is essentially required to get around. Traffic in cities like Miami and Orlando can be significant, and commute times by car often rival what you were used to on the train.

★★★★★

“Moved our whole apartment from Brooklyn to Tampa and honestly expected something to go wrong. Nothing did. The guys showed up early, wrapped everything carefully, and had us fully loaded in under four hours. Delivery was right on schedule three days later.”

Jason M. Brooklyn, NY to Tampa, FL

★★★★★

QUESTIONS

New York to Florida Questions Answered

Most moves from New York to Florida take between 2 and 4 days in transit, depending on the exact pickup and delivery locations and the size of the shipment. Your moving coordinator will give you a delivery window once your load is confirmed.

Yes, it's strongly recommended that you or a designated representative be present for both. This ensures everything is accounted for, items are handled according to your instructions, and the delivery is signed off correctly.

Fall and winter are generally the best times — the weather is mild in both states, and demand for movers is lower, which means better availability and more competitive pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
