Top 5 hints for moving to DC

Research the salary you need for your move: Understanding the cost of living in DC is essential if you want to know how much you’ll need to comfortably cover expenses like housing, transportation, and daily living. While DC can be expensive, especially in terms of housing, there are ways to live affordably

Choose the right neighborhood: DC neighborhoods vary significantly, each with its unique character and affordability. Consider factors like safety, proximity to work, public transportation, and amenities. Popular neighborhoods include Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and Capitol Hill. Explore and find one that suits your needs and budget. 

Learn how to get around DC: DC has an extensive public transportation system, including the Metro, buses, and bike lanes. Familiarize yourself with routes, schedules, and fare options. If you plan to drive, be prepared for traffic and parking challenges. Consider using rideshares or car-sharing services

Explore the city: DC is rich in history, culture, and attractions. Visit the Smithsonian Museums, which offer free exhibits and educational experiences.

You get all four seasons in DC. Enjoy the crisp fall air, winter snow, springtime cherry blossoms, and summer heat in this federal district. However, the winters get cold and summers can get hot, so you need to plan for all types of weather. Make sure your new home has both AC and heat. If you’re moving from a warmer climate, invest in good boots, gloves, and a winter jacket before October, when temperatures start to dip.
