Moving to a new city is a project. Break it into three 30-day phases and it becomes manageable.

Days 1–30: Research

  • Shortlist three neighborhoods
  • Check school boundaries and enrollment deadlines
  • Book a scouting trip or video tours

Days 31–60: Secure housing

  • Line up a furnished rental for the first months
  • Get pre-approved if you plan to buy
  • Book movers early — summer fills fast

Days 61–90: Settle in

  • Update your license and registration
  • Set up utilities and internet
  • Explore — the fun part
