Moving from Delaware to Minnesota

Professional movers are your best bet for this 1,100-mile journey to the Twin Cities area. The route through Pennsylvania and the Great Lakes is well-established, and Minneapolis has excellent moving infrastructure.

You're both used to real seasons, but Minnesota takes winter to another level! Think Delaware's moderate winters but much colder and longer, plus incredible lake country summers. At least you're already experienced with seasonal weather!

If you want excellent quality of life with similar small-state feel but more space, Minnesota's fantastic! You'll trade Delaware's coastal access for lake culture and that famous "Minnesota nice," but gain comparable quality with more affordability.

Budget about 6-8 weeks total, with professional movers taking 4-5 business days for transport. Both states have harsh winters, so spring through fall timing is definitely more reliable for moving logistics.

Both states value quality of life and community, so the cultural transition should be smooth. Minnesota's winters are more extreme than Delaware's, but your seasonal experience will help. The biggest change will be lakes instead of ocean!
