Why Philadelphians Move to Florida

Florida offers warm weather, lower taxes, and a wide range of lifestyles. Miami has a fast pace and high-rise living. Tampa Bay blends city life with beaches. Orlando draws families and remote workers. The Panhandle is laid back and scenic. Many clients move to be closer to family or to enjoy year-round sun.

How We Plan the Trip

A Philly to Florida move spans 900–1,200 miles. We do not rely on blind GPS routes. We plan truck-safe paths, time windows, and building access. In high-rise areas we book elevators and docks. In beach towns we check parking and HOA rules. You get a clear schedule and updates as we roll.

Timeline at a Glance

1. 6–8 weeks out: Get a free estimate. Choose dates. Ask about storage.
2. 4 weeks out: Reserve HOA docks and elevators. We supply COIs.
3. 2 weeks out: Confirm packing needs. Finalize the inventory.
4. 1 week out: Pack a small “essentials” kit. Label rooms. We handle the big items.
5. Move day: We protect the home, load with care, and set travel updates.
6. Delivery: Room-by-room placement. Reassembly. Walk-through.

Costs and Scheduling

The price of a long-distance move depends on volume, access, distance, and season. Summer and early winter are busy. Book early for best options. We build realistic plans and do not under-crew. This protects your schedule and your home. Ask about weekday departures and flexible windows to save.

Need a bridge between homes? Use our vault storage. It keeps things simple when closing dates shift.

Real Client Story

“We moved from Wynnewood to Boca Raton. LiteMovers packed our kitchen, protected the art, and stored everything for ten days while we finished closing. Delivery was on time. The crew set each room before they left. Smooth from start to finish.” — Allison R.
