Reasons Why People Move From Florida to Alaska
- Climate preferences: Alaska has a cooler climate with short summers of an average of 66℉ in July, unlike Florida’s hot and humid climate, mostly in July, accounting for 90℉. Alaska’s cold and slow winters and mild summers come off as more appealing to individuals who fancy winter sports and activities.
- A need to escape Florida’s crowded areas: As of 2024, Florida has a population of roughly 22.98 million people while Alaska has a smaller population of around 731,545 people, making it a quieter state for Florida residents looking for privacy, seclusion and less hectic lifestyle.
- High paying job opportunities in the oil and gas industry: Jobs in the oil and gas industry in Alaska offer higher salaries compared to jobs in similar industries in Florida. For example, the average salary in Florida’s oil and gas industry is significantly lower (with an average annual pay of approximately $50,624) compared to Alaska’s ($119,958 to $261,758) based on one’s specific role.
Pros and Cons of Moving from Florida to Alaska
Advantages of moving to Alaska:
- Alaska has no state income tax which contributes to a simpler tax filing process.
- There’s a Permanent Fund Dividend from Alaska’s oil revenues offered to residents to help reduce poverty. In 2023, the Permanent Fund Dividend per person was around $1,114.
- There is no state sales tax. This means that residents don’t pay an additional percentage on most purchases at the state level making everyday purchases more pocket friendly unlike Florida, which has a sales tax of 6%.
Disadvantages of moving to Alaska:
- Alaska has a high overall cost of living approximately 14% higher than Florida.
- Extremely cold winters with temperatures often dropping below -34 degrees Celsius in various areas.
- Some regions in Alaska like Anchorage experience heavy snowfall (an average of 188cm of snow annually), which hinders people from moving around easily.
- Longer periods of darkness in some areas during the winter. This may contribute to a Seasonal Affective Disorder which can affect one’s overall well being.

Most movers show up with a truck. We show up with a plan. A Plus Moving Group handles every phase of your move: furniture disassembly, professional packing, secured transport, and full reassembly at your new location.
We also specialize in moves that other companies turn down — piano relocation, fish tank transport, IT equipment handling, and oversized or awkwardly shaped furniture. If it needs to get from point A to point B safely, we have the equipment and the experience to do it.
A Plus Moving Group is fully licensed and insured — USDOT #3920829, MC #1450184 — and every move we take on comes with full value insurance coverage. That means if anything is damaged in transit, you’re covered for its actual replacement value, not some fraction of it.
We don’t cut corners on protection, because your belongings aren’t replaceable by a lowball claim.
Life doesn’t run on a Monday-through-Friday schedule, and neither do we. A Plus Moving Group is available six days a week — Monday through Saturday — including holidays, because we know that’s often when moves actually happen.
Our crews are trained to work efficiently without rushing, so punctuality never comes at the cost of care. And if something urgent comes up, we maintain dedicated emergency teams for same-day service.
Our fleet isn’t one-size-fits-all — and your move shouldn’t be either. A Plus Moving Group operates a modern lineup of GPS-tracked trucks in multiple sizes, and you choose the configuration that makes sense for your move: the right van size, the right number of movers. That flexibility means you’re never paying for capacity you don’t need, and you’re never stuck with a crew that’s underprepared for the job.
Every A Plus Moving Group crew member passes a background check and is hired based on demonstrated professionalism — not just availability. Our movers show up knowing your move plan, prepared for the specific items involved, and briefed on any special handling requirements.
The values we hire for — discipline, honesty, respect, and accountability — are the same ones our customers mention by name in their reviews. That’s not an accident.
The price we quote is the price you pay. A Plus Moving Group operates on fixed, transparent quotes — the number you see before your move is the number on your final invoice, with nothing added on top.
We’d rather earn your trust upfront with an honest price than chase you with surprises at the end. That’s how we’ve built the reputation that 700+ customers took the time to put in writing.

Moving Yourself vs. Hiring Moving Company
Choosing either a DIY move or hiring movers greatly determines how your move pans out. Doing it yourself involves heavy lifting, box labeling, renting a truck, packing the items yourself and ensuring that everything arrives at the desired location safely. The advantage of do it yourself moves is that you take control of the process and don’t need to spend money to hire movers. But overall, it can be a physically taxing and costly method.
However, Hiring a moving company like ours offers a seamless moving process. We plan the move, offer insurance coverage for your items, provide packing solutions for all items, including fragile ones, handle the logistics complexities and ensure your items arrive at your destination safely and on time. Although you may not have full control of the move when you hire us, you can rest assured that you will get satisfying moving services.
