Pros of Moving from NY to Maine

✓ Dramatic Increase in Space & Value
Trade cramped, costly New York apartments for Maine’s spacious homes with yards, often at a fraction of the price. Your housing budget buys significantly more square footage, privacy, and property.

✓ Natural Beauty as Your Backyard
Swap the concrete jungle for immediate access to rugged coastlines, dense forests, and pristine lakes. Outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, and skiing become part of your regular routine, not a planned getaway.

✓ A Slower, More Intentional Pace of Life
Leave behind the city’s relentless hustle for Maine’s quieter, community-focused rhythm. Life moves at a more humane pace, with less noise, congestion, and daily stress.

✓ Lower Overall Cost of Living
While not everything is cheap, your biggest expenses—housing, taxes, and insurance—are typically much lower than in New York. Daily living costs like groceries and dining out also offer more breathing room.

✓ A Strong Sense of Community
Maine’s smaller towns and cities foster tight-knit communities where people know their neighbors. There’s a tangible sense of local pride and mutual support that can be hard to find in a major metropolis.

Cons & Realities of Life in Maine

✗ Limited Job Market & Lower Salaries
Career opportunities, especially in specialized or high-paying industries, are far more limited than in New York. Remote work is a major asset here, as local salaries often don’t match NYC levels.

✗ Harsh, Long Winters
Prepare for a real winter. Maine’s cold season is longer, darker, and snowier than you’re used to. Snow removal, heating costs, and seasonal driving are significant seasonal considerations.

✗ Less Diversity & Cultural Amenities
Maine is one of the least diverse states. The rich, global cultural scene of New York—from food to arts to nightlife—is replaced by a more homogeneous, low-key, and often seasonal offering.

✗ Geographic Isolation & Travel
You are farther from major airports and transit hubs. Spontaneous trips or business travel require more planning and time. Deliveries can be slower, and some services common in cities are unavailable.

✗ Higher Taxes on Certain Items
While income or property taxes may be lower, Maine has a high sales tax (5.5%) and some of the nation’s highest taxes on gasoline and vehicle registrations, which can offset other savings.

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.
