Moving from Colorado to South Carolina

Professional movers are recommended for this 1,300-mile journey to the Southeast. The route through Kansas and Arkansas is well-established, and Charleston/Columbia have good moving services. You should find competitive options for this increasingly popular route.

Prepare for a massive change! You're leaving Colorado's crisp, dry mountain air for South Carolina's humid subtropical climate. Think swampy summers, mild winters, and humidity levels you never knew existed. No more altitude headaches, but hello constant air conditioning!

If you want significantly lower living costs, Southern charm, and beautiful beaches, South Carolina's fantastic! You'll trade mountain skiing for coastal living, high altitude for sea level, and expensive living for incredibly affordable housing. Plus, amazing food culture!

Plan 6-8 weeks total, with professional movers taking 4-6 business days for transport. Hurricane season can affect coastal timing, so spring moves are often smoother than summer/fall relocations to beach areas.

If you're moving to coastal areas, absolutely factor in hurricane season! Avoid peak months (August-October) for coastal moves. Also, the extreme humidity change can affect electronics and wood furniture, so climate-controlled transport is definitely worth the investment.
