Tips for Moving From New Jersey to South Carolina

  • Research your new community early. Before moving day, take time to explore neighborhoods, schools, and local services in South Carolina. Knowing where the grocery store, DMV, or nearest coffee shop is will help you settle in faster.
  • Create a moving week checklist. Draft a week-of checklist with reminders like emptying the fridge, updating your address, and prepping essentials for your first night.
  • Set aside a “first night” box. Pack a clearly labeled box or bin with everything you’ll need right away — think toiletries, chargers, a change of clothes, snacks, pet supplies, and basic kitchenware.
  • Take photos before disassembling furniture or electronics. Snap a few quick photos before unplugging wires or breaking down big items. It’ll make reassembling your setup in South Carolina way easier.
  • Don’t forget to transfer medical records and prescriptions. If you're switching doctors or pharmacies, request records in advance so you’re not scrambling to find care in a new place.
