Moving to Henderson

Every move brings with it excitement and challenge, and if you have decided to live in Henderson, we will help you with our experienced advice to become a resident of Henderson as easily and as quickly as possible.

1. Fix the Date

The good thing about this move is that you are going to a dry and warm desert climate, where there are no tornadoes, floods, bad weather, and weather extremes.

This means that you can plan your move when it suits you, without thinking about weather conditions and seasons.

Therefore, it would be best to determine the exact date about six weeks in advance and not give up on it. In this way, better efficiency is achieved and the entire organization has its deadline to adhere to.

2. Plan a Budget

An important item of every move is projecting the expected budget. 

Think rationally about what will be on the list of expenses, consult with the family, and determine the amount. It is wise to always leave more money for unplanned situations and possible sudden expenses.

Henderson is on the list of more expensive and more luxurious places to live, so the cost of living is higher. If you have money left over from the move, you will certainly be able to easily direct it to something else.

3. Hire a Credible Moving Agency

If your budget can cover this option, we highly recommend it. Especially if it is long-distance move.

Also, if you have a large amount of heavy furniture, sensitive items, or antiques or are inexperienced in moving, our professional Henderson movers know how to solve your every problem, in the best possible way.

Do not forget to make a booking earlier, agree on all the details and sign the contract.

This decision is not a luxury, but treat it as an investment in the important help of trained professionals, who will relieve you of many worries, and help with advice, physically, in packing, transport, and everything that moving entails. Stress-free and smooth moving is something you will remember forever.

4. Decluttering

Here is the important part of the move. Without thinking, approach decluttering everything unnecessary. 

Henderson living in hot summers and mild winters requires wearing warm bulky clothing, lots of winter blankets, fur boots, etc. Of course not. Get rid of such things.

But don’t forget your sports shoes and clothes, because one of the great assets of Henderson is the inexhaustible and exciting outdoor activities.

Do not wear old worn-out furniture, worn carpets and rugs, or anything damaged, worn out, or incompatible with the new room. 

Organize garage sales, give away, sell, donate to humanitarian causes, and recycle. It is better to have some parts of space in the new house, to begin with, than to fill them with piles of things.

You will save a lot of money if you don’t pay for the transportation of all that, and you can also make quite a bit of money.

5. Pack Room by Room

We assume that you have already chosen to buy a house or apartment in one of the magical Henderson neighborhoods.

You certainly want your new home to impress everyone who enters it, and most importantly for you to be a comfortable haven. 

You will still buy some things, but what you already own should be transported undamaged to the destination.

When you start packing your things, pack each room separately. Thus, when unpacking, you will be able to find a place for everything more easily and quickly and come up with the concept of a new arrangement.

6. Mark the Boxes

This may seem like an unnecessary effort, but it is not. Although it seems to you at the moment that you are in control of the situation and that you know exactly where everything is, you will see that it is not so.

When the moving starts, control over the boxes is lost and if you don’t mark everything clearly in time, you will find yourself in a complete mess.

You will waste a lot of time opening boxes one by one, flipping them over, and looking for where everything is. Therefore, packing with adequate moving packing supplies, with visible marking, contributes to quick and easy unpacking, when the time comes.

7. Plan Your Route

Although this entire area has excellent infrastructure, it would be useful to devise an exact route for the truck, as well as the accompanying vehicles. This applies in case you move independently because Moving Agencies do it for you if you hire them.

Traffic is heavy in Henderson, people use their vehicles more than public transportation, so you have to expect crowds, especially on weekdays.

Four major highways pass by Henderson, as well as State Route 582, State Route 564, Interstate 215, and Interstate 515. Depending on which direction you are coming from, research which route is best for you.

8. Moving Day

Moving day can be very stressful if you don’t have a clear plan. We hope that you are already packed, that the transport vehicles are secured, and that you are mentally prepared.

What you need to do is:

  • to wake up earlier, be sure to eat light food, dress in comfortable clothes and shoes
  • check, once again, your wallet, ID, keys, phone, charger, important documents, medication,n and toiletries.
  • jewelry, cash, sentimental items keep with you
  • visit your house one more time, check the installations, and say goodbye to it
  • be sure to bring snacks and water
  • lock it
  • listen, Henderson is calling you, the adventure begins

9. Arrival in Henderson

When you unload your things, it’s best to eat and rest. Although beautiful, Henderson is still new and unknown to you. You will only enjoy it.

Unpack what you need, namely kitchen items, bedding, and toiletries.

FYI, a large number of people are moving to Henderson, and those moving from Henderson are in the minority. Once you feel all the beauty, comfort, and possibilities offered here, no one wants to change that status.
