Moving from Denver, CO, to Miami, FL

From snow-capped peaks to sandy shores: Your move to Magic City

There’s no vibe quite like Miami, FL. It’s the second-most populous city in Florida (behind Jacksonville), with about a half-million people, and it hosts over 27 million visitors each year. Along with the enticing tropical setting, newcomers are drawn to the area’s recreational opportunities, cultural diversity, strong job market and the lack of a state income tax.

If you’re planning to relocate from Denver, CO, you’re in for a major change — but it’ll be an exciting one! Keep reading to find out what to expect and discover an easier, more affordable way to manage your long-distance move.

Trading Rocky Mountain air for warm sea breezes

Denver gets a fair amount of sunshine, has relatively mild winters and is generally safe from major national disasters. But there’s still an annual average of 57 inches of snow to contend with. In Miami, expect 250 sunny days per year — including average highs of 76 degrees in January — so stock up on sunscreen!

Miami’s sea-level location influences the tropical climate, making the area prone to hurricanes. South Florida also has much more humidity and rainfall than Colorado.

Find your big break among the palm trees

Miami is brimming with diverse career opportunities. Millions of travelers fly into Miami International Airport and sail on cruise ships out of PortMiami each year, making tourism one of the area’s most stable job markets.

But those aren’t the only gigs available. Miami’s largest employers include the University of Miami, Baptist Health South Florida and American Airlines. Miami’s real estate, manufacturing, finance and construction/development sectors are also on the rise.
