Moving from Connecticut to Maine

This is actually pretty straightforward! It's only about 400-500 miles up I-95 through New England, so you could go with professional movers or even consider a quality DIY option. Maine has decent moving services, especially around Portland.

Not dramatically different since you're staying in New England! You'll get similar harsh winters but even more rural charm, incredible seafood instead of just decent seafood, and that authentic "Down East" culture. Think lobster rolls and lighthouses!

If you love New England but want more affordable living and authentic coastal culture, Maine's perfect! You'll trade Connecticut's high costs and congestion for lower prices and slower pace, but still get those amazing fall colors and coastal access.

This is pretty manageable – plan 4-5 weeks total with professional movers taking 2-3 days for transport. Since you're staying in New England with similar conditions, logistics are simpler than long-distance moves.

Both states have brutal winters, so timing matters for moving logistics. Maine can be even colder and snowier than Connecticut, especially inland areas. Your belongings should handle the climate transition fine since conditions are similar.
