Blog by Doriana Zohil-Morton, Broker of Record/Owner | August 13th, 2018


Moving to a new city is never easy, which is why proper preparation and organization is the key to a successful move. If you’re planning on relocating to Toronto any time soon, whether it’s for business or personal reasons, temporarily or permanently, then here are some helpful summer moving tips to make the transition a little easier.

Book Your Moving Company Well in Advance

Summer is the peak season for a lot of moving companies in Toronto because this is the time of year when the weather permits easier relocation. Booking your moving accommodations as early in the year as possible will guarantee that movers and their trucks are available when you need them to be. It also makes it a lot easier for you to adequately plan your move and make sure you have everything you need to guarantee everything goes according to plan.

Take Good Care of Your Health

Just because you’re moving to Toronto, Canada’s capital of diverse cuisine from all over the world, that doesn’t give you a free pass to suddenly start neglecting your health. The key to a smooth transition when it comes to relocation is to maintain a healthy lifestyle and always make time to get regular exercise. Going for a run in the morning, afternoon, or evening is a great way to explore your new neighbourhood. Also, there are constantly new healthy eating options popping up in the city so there’s no excuse not to take good care of yourself.

Book a Fully Furnished Rental Apartment

The best way to get acquainted with your new surroundings is to dive right in and find a place to live that’s centrally located right in the heart of the city. That way, you can take the opportunity to explore your new neighbourhood as much as you want and find all of the best local eateries, hangouts, and natural sights. Renting a fully furnished apartment when you are relocating to Toronto is the ideal way to introduce yourself to the city. On top of moving to an unfamiliar city, the last thing you should have to worry about is purchasing new furniture and appliances to fill the place up.

The Early Bird Gets the Worm

As the old adage implies, those who rise early are more privy to the vast opportunities that living in a big city like Toronto has to offer. There’s obviously a reason that you wanted to move to Toronto, whether it’s for work, to find a new job, to be closer to your family, or to simply get a fresh start. One of the best summer moving tips is to take advantage of everything this city has to offer by taking the time to learn everything you can about it. The earlier you choose to wake up in the morning, the more tasks you can accomplish and this will make for a much easier transition into your new surroundings. Learn how the city’s transit system works, take in the historical and natural sights, and support the local businesses.
