Fewer Americans are moving each year, but those who are are heading to the Southeast. A new report by Pods Enterprises, a moving and storage company, reveals that Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Wilmington, North Carolina are the top moving destinations for 2024–2025. These cities offer affordable living, great weather, and beautiful beaches—a dream combo for many.
Other top moving spots include:
-
Ocala, Florida
-
Raleigh, North Carolina
-
Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina
-
Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
Most people are moving long distances—nearly 1,300 miles on average—and 92% are changing states.
Why the shift? Americans want warmer weather, lower costs, and better quality of life. Meanwhile, many are leaving high-cost areas like Southern California and the Northeast.
Even the Midwest is seeing more interest than last year, thanks to its affordability.
