Pros of Moving From Raleigh to Miami

✔ No State Income Tax
North Carolina charges a 5.25% state income tax. Florida doesn’t charge any. That means you keep more of every paycheck, and your retirement income stretches further.

✔ Beach Days, Whenever
In Raleigh, the beach is a trip. In Miami, it’s part of the neighborhood. Think sunset walks, weekend swims, and coffee with an ocean view—all without planning a day trip.

✔ Warm Weather, Year-Round
Trade Raleigh’s humid summers and cool winters for Miami’s steady warmth. No more icy roads, heavy jackets, or canceled plans because of snow. Outdoor living is the default here.

✔ More Outdoor Living, More Often
Raleigh has great greenways, but Miami adds waterfront walks, year-round golf, boating, and outdoor dining to the mix. If you love being active outside, this is a daily upgrade.

✔ A 24/7 International Vibe
Raleigh is growing fast, but Miami has a global rhythm. The energy is different—more diverse, more bilingual, with a culture that blends Latin flair, art deco style, and a true “city that never sleeps” feel.

Cons of Moving From Raleigh to Miami

✗ Humidity and Heavy Rain
Miami’s warmth comes with intense humidity and a rainy season that brings afternoon downpours, frequent lightning, and occasional flooding. Hurricane season (June–November) requires awareness and preparation.

✗ Higher Cost of Living
While you’ll save on income tax, housing, insurance, and utilities in popular Miami areas can be noticeably higher than in Raleigh. Budgeting for this urban premium is key.

✗ You’ll Likely Need a Car
Public transportation in Miami is limited compared to many larger metro areas. Most residents rely on cars to get around comfortably—something to factor into your monthly budget.

✗ Bugs Are Part of the Landscape
The subtropical climate means more insects. Expect mosquitoes, palmetto bugs (large roaches), and ants. Regular pest control is common for homeowners and renters alike.

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. I opted for full packing, they patiently listened and attended to each of household items with care. I can recommend them to any. They ease your tensions and get things done one time. I am always grateful to this team
