All cities in the U.S. have individual pros and cons, so to speak, and it’s not a bad idea to compare them beforehand. Moving to a new place can be costly, time consuming and draining; hence why it’s best to make sure that it’s the right place for you!

If you looked at a satellite-enhanced map online and saw rows of rooftops, would you really know what kind of neighborhood it was? It is essential to scout out your potential neighborhood and do some in-depth research.
Consider the type of neighborhood you currently live in. Do you want to find one similar, or upgrade? If you have children, you might consider whether if there is a park nearby or similar family-oriented amenities. Use crime rates and public housing data to find a place in which you and your family will feel comfortable.
Cost of living is commonly overlooked when moving to a new city. Depending on where you are going, you run the risk of price shock.
