Local Movers in Orlando Florida

Popular neighborhoods include Lake Nona for new developments, Winter Park for charm and walkability, Baldwin Park for families, and College Park for proximity to downtown. Each offers different vibes depending on your lifestyle.

Fall and winter (October–February) are generally less busy and cooler. Summers (May–August) are peak season due to school transitions and leases ending — but also the hottest and most humid.

In most residential areas, no permit is needed. But if you’re moving downtown or into certain apartment complexes or condos, check with the City of Orlando Parking Division or your building management.

Orlando is generally more affordable than Miami or Fort Lauderdale but more expensive than Tampa or Jacksonville. Housing is the largest variable — central neighborhoods cost more, while suburbs like Clermont or Apopka offer better value.

You can donate to local charities like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, or schedule bulk pickup with Orlando Solid Waste Division (if you’re a city resident). Some items can also be dropped off at Orange County landfills.

Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. While Orlando is inland and rarely hit directly, always check the weather and have a backup plan for outdoor moves. With UniMovers, if you ever need to change the date or time of your move, you can do so at no additional charge.

Update your info with the Florida DMV, USPS. You may also want to register to vote in Orange County to reflect your new address.
