Why Would You Move Out of California?

California is a dreamlike state and some may argue, a state of mind. In California, you can cruise down scenic Highway 1, break a sweat while you hike the Pacific Crest Trail, and potentially run into a movie star in the wild. So, why are people leaving California? There are a variety of reasons why families have opted to leave the beautiful Golden State, and with help from Camelot Moving & Storage, they are thriving in their new homes.

Cost of Living

California’s beauty, mild weather, and diverse economy come at a price, literally. With increased demand, prices rise, and California’s high cost of living has reflected that principle for many years. While many find that the increased work opportunities in California offset the high cost of living, for those who are thinking about retiring, moving from California to a different state with a lower cost of living can help their newly fixed income go further. Many of our clients that we moved out of California did so after visiting another state, where they fell in love with the scenery and slower pace in addition to the lower cost of living, making the move an easy decision.

Growing Family

Speaking of retirement, if you recently became a grandparent, you may be entertaining the idea of moving out of California to be closer to your growing family. As beautiful as the Golden State is, it cannot rival the sparkle in a grandchild’s eye. Whether it’s retirement, grandchildren, or both, making the most of a new chapter of life is a fine reason to pack your belongings and head away from the Hills.

Natural Disasters

An unfortunate reason that people are leaving California is the natural disasters that residents of the Golden State increasingly face, including droughts, floods, earthquakes, and most notably, wildfires. In the past few years, California has been on high alert as it has weathered an unprecedented number of wildfires. Feeling uncertain and underinsured, some households have opted to move out of California.
