Relocation 101: How to Thrive in a New City
April 27, 2022
Going through a long-distance relocation into a new city or state can be a challenging season of life. Of course, as corporate relocation experts, at Beltmann we’re confident we can help to facilitate the day-to-day logistics of actually moving for you. But what about making those big adjustments once you arrive in a new city?
For the sake of simplicity, let’s presume you’ve already researched the costs and activities for the new location, found a new job, and determined a decent place to live for at least a year. What next? We’ve made a few checklists below to help you not only survive the relocation process, but thrive after you move to a new city.
One thing you’ll probably notice about moving to a new state is just exactly how many layers there are to your current life. From gym memberships to library cards to finding your favorite grocery store, there’s a lot to consider — and to cancel — before you move away. This list includes common places of memberships and subscriptions to cancel before you move out of state.
- Media services (newspapers, magazines, digital news)
- Health / fitness/ yoga/ country club membership
- Parking passes
- Zoo passes
- Homeowners’ association dues
- Cable and internet service
- Medical offices with monthly services
- Local subscriptions (meal delivery, monthly boxes, etc.)
- Utilities (heat, gas, electric, water, garbage services)
- Educational services and kids’ school records
- Office rental (for coworking spaces)
- Park district memberships (Rec center, community pool, etc.)
- Library card
- Lawncare, snow removal, or sprinkler services
On the flip side, the above list is just as handy for finding new opportunities in your new community. Additionally, as you think about your day-to-day life, there are a number of new professional services to consider possibly adding:
- Post Office
- Secretary of State
- Hairdresser
- Doctors (both general health and any specialists)
- Dentist
- Eye doctor
- Makeup consultant
- Pharmacy
- Insurance agent
- Voter Registration
- Church or house of worship
- School system
