1. Getting around can be tricky, so plan ahead
If you’re brand new to the area, keep your phone handy. You may want to have a ride-share service on standby. Los Angeles has a complex freeway system, and you will probably get lost a few times, even with GPS.

People come from all around the world to see parts of the city where you’ll be living. You’ll be in easy travel distance of the iconic Santa Monica Pier and the bustle of Hollywood Studios. Whatever your reasons for moving to the City of Angels, you’ll find plenty to do, so take your time. This city is your home now. Enjoy it.
3. Hire professional movers you can trust
If you’re new to L.A., traffic can be daunting. Over time, you’ll learn to trust your tightly-woven community, and that trust should start on moving day. Pick Los Angeles movers with a proven track record. Don’t try to move your belongings yourself.
4. The weather is (almost) always great, year-round
If you’re moving from a more temperate climate, Los Angeles can take some getting used to. Like much of southern California, the weather never gets too cold or too hot. You can leave your winter coat in storage, but you will want to have plenty of warm-weather clothes on hand. If you love the beach, then you are in luck!
5. Network and meet people
Los Angeles is a big city, and it can be easy to get lost in it all. Whatever your reasons for coming, whether or not you already know people, plan time to network and join social clubs that interest you.
