Whether you’re first time or in your fifties, moving is never fun. Sure, you might be happy to move into a new home and start a new part of your life, but the actual process of packing your whole life in boxes and transporting it around the city (or country) can only be described as stressful.
But it doesn’t have to be. The right set of websites can help you every step of the way, from finding a new place to live to making sure you don’t forget anything in those hard-to-reach closets.
If you are looking for a new place to live based on the culture of the city rather than place or name, Livabilitycom is the place for you. The site specializes in studying the culture of small and medium-sized cities.
They explore things like the Des Moines culinary scene or the best cities for people who love to travel. If you’re not choosy about where you live, living comfort can be a great way to discover new opportunities.
AreaVibes
AreaVibes is a great resource for getting important information about specific areas. They do this by giving a 100-point “Livability Scoreâ€. Neighborhoods are ranked based on amenities, cost of living, crime rates, education, employment, air quality, and housing availability.
The website also contains a lot of information about each area, such as demographics and crime rates.
WalkScore
If your search for a great place to live requires you to be able to walk from your apartment to a grocery store and many local shops and eateries, then WalkScorecom is your best resource.
Just search for an area or address and WalkScorecom will provide you with distance information from major attractions, how easy it is to cycle to the area, what public transportation is and how easy you can get around on foot.
WalkScore also offers a list of the best cities to live in if you don’t want a car.
MyMovingReviews
Finding a reliable shipping company is a lot like finding a great mechanic – almost impossible and worth their weight in gold once you find them.
MyMovingReviewscom is a valuable resource that provides you with many other resources, such as a cost estimator that helps you calculate how much it will cost to move between states, between countries, and how much you will pay to get your vehicle delivered.
You can also browse a comprehensive list of reviews of shipping companies in the US, Canada, Australia and many other countries.
Zillow
When it comes to finding accommodations – and finding reviews, floor plans, price tiers, and more – there are several better options than Zillow. Users can see homes for rent and sale, as well as housing options such as renting one-bedroom apartments in large homes (perfect for the big move to Manhattan you’ve always dreamed of).
It is one of the most popular and well-informed sites on the Internet. On the other hand, there are other alternatives:
- Trulia.com
- StreetEasy.com
- Realtor.com
- Homes .com
- Apartments.com
- Rent.com
- ApartmentGuide.com
Finding a new place of residence is a long, protracted process, and moving is another long process. But with these tools and websites, you can find the right place to live that suits your desires, find a great apartment, and find the best relocations with ease.
