Moving from Colorado to Indiana

Professional movers are recommended for this 1,100-mile journey through the heartland. The route through Kansas and Missouri is pretty straightforward, and you should have decent moving company options since Indianapolis is a logistics hub.

Big change coming! You're leaving Colorado's high-altitude, dry climate for Indiana's humid continental weather. Think hot, sticky summers and cold, wet winters – basically the opposite of Colorado's dry conditions. Plus, no more altitude issues!

If you want significantly lower living costs and don't mind flat terrain, Indiana offers great value! You'll lose the mountain lifestyle but gain affordable housing, good schools, and that genuine Midwest friendliness. Plus, you're within driving distance of Chicago.

Budget about 6-8 weeks total planning time, with professional movers taking 3-5 business days for transport. It's not the most common route, so book a bit earlier to ensure you get good moving companies and timing.

The humidity change is dramatic – wood furniture, leather goods, and musical instruments will need to adjust to Indiana's moisture. Consider climate-controlled transport and plan to get a good dehumidifier for your new home.
