Going from an apartment to a house is a great change. You get more space, more autonomy, and often a stronger sense of home ownership, even if you rent your house. At the same time, the transition brings some new responsibilities and unexpected features. And knowing what to expect can make the journey more manageable and less stressful. 

At A2B Moving and Storage, we manage moves of every size. If this is your first time moving into a house, our team can ensure a smooth moving process.

Adjusting to More Space

The first thing you notice is how much room you suddenly have in a house. You live differently, day to day, with bigger rooms, a backyard, or a garage. This extra space is an added comfort, but it can also equate to additional cleaning and maintenance. You may need additional furniture to create fully furnished rooms.

If you’d rather not deal with the headache of moving heavy furniture or figuring out where to put your things, A2B Moving and Storage will pack up the truck, move all of your stuff, and even set it all back up.

New Responsibilities

Apartment living generally comes with a team on call to make repairs promptly, but in a house, you are often the one left holding the bag. Suddenly, mowing the lawn, dealing with a plumbing issue, or keeping up with household appliances can all become part of your new normal.

This can be a lot to take on at first, but it will empower you to own your home and make improvements when you want. Our storage services can help make the transition easier while you find a place for additional furniture until you’re ready for it again.

Cost Considerations

The cost of living can be higher in a house sometimes. You could end up spending more on utility bills after you move into a larger space, and have to pay to furnish the home. For instance, if you’re upgrading from a two-bedroom apartment to a three-bedroom house. It could run you between $2,000 and $4,500 — depending on how far you’re going and how much stuff you have to move. 

Not to mention, hiring movers can actually pay for itself in the long run when your fragile items don’t get damaged and you are much less stressed. When you hire A2B Moving and Storage, you know what to expect, thanks to an honest pricing model and trustworthy crew.

Tips for a Smooth Transition

It took a lot of planning, but then everything fell into place, and the move was actually somewhat stress-free. Begin by decluttering your apartment now so you won’t bring unnecessary junk to your new home.

Pack methodically, marking boxes by room, and be prepared for a longer moving day. A2B Moving and Storage can come in with professional packing services that save you time and energy, as well as protect your goods on the journey.
