Moving from Colorado to Ohio

Professional movers work well for this 1,100-mile journey to the Midwest. The route through Kansas and Missouri is straightforward, and cities like Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati have solid moving infrastructure with competitive options.

Major change ahead! You're leaving Colorado's sunny, dry mountain climate for Ohio's humid continental weather with lake effect influences. Think hot, sticky summers, cold winters, and way more precipitation than you're used to in Colorado.

If you want significantly lower living costs, good job opportunities, and don't mind flat terrain, Ohio offers excellent value! You'll lose mountain adventures but gain affordable housing, decent cities, and that genuine Midwest friendliness. Plus, you're within driving distance of major East Coast cities.

Plan about 6-8 weeks total, with professional movers taking 4-5 business days for transport. It's a pretty standard cross-country route with good infrastructure, so timing is usually reliable unless winter weather interferes.

The humidity increase will definitely affect your belongings – wood furniture, books, and musical instruments will need time to adjust to Ohio's moisture levels. Climate-controlled transport is worth considering, and you'll want a good dehumidifier for your new home.
