Connecticut remains a popular moving destination as remote work allows individuals to leave more urban northeastern hubs like New York City and Boston. The state has been growing steadily since 2020. Developers seem to expect this trend to continue, investing in new housing developments.
Central Connecticut has roughly 700 new apartments coming online and another 1,400 currently under construction, according to a recent article in the Hartford Courant. Plans for an additional 3,000 apartments are taking shape, according to the article.

It also has a tool so you can search for your own obligation-free moving quotes. The company maintains a network of more than 500 movers and checks on each monthly to ensure high customer satisfaction.
The list isn't as glamorous as you might hope. While many dream of their new couch or a high-end coffee maker, the moving pros recommend more down-to-earth items. The price tag for most isn't very high, but they can be invaluable during your first days at your new pad.
Tools top the guide’s list of items every household should have. While the apartment manager is usually responsible for maintenance, the repair may not be as urgent for them as it is for you. Making simple repairs can save time and stress, as long as they don’t violate the terms of the lease. A starter toolkit should include wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, and other basics.The guide also recommends stocking cleaning supplies and keeping them accessible. Dirt and small spills are a given on moving day, and extra hands can smudge and smear easily. Brooms, mops, sponges, disinfectant, and cleaning solutions can keep the apartment in move-in shape.
Kitchen essentials are another of the guide’s non-negotiable for a first apartment. Pizza is easy on moving day, but takeout orders add up quickly and can be challenging to find in a new area. Movers.com recommends keeping cookware accessible even for quick meals after moving day.
Good advice can make all the difference in a long-distance move. And Movers.com is happy to help.
