DIRECTLY, WITHOUT USING SUBCONTRACTORS
If you ever read moving company reviews, you could notice that #1 reason why people experience issues when moving long distance is that their moving company outsources the delivery to other transportation companies and therefore loses control over the stuff.
In a situation like that the moving company can’t know where the stuff is and when exactly it will be delivered.
That is why at Roadway Moving we have our own trailers and we do not outsource delivery to others.

Cost of living
California is renowned for its high cost of living, with cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego ranking among the most expensive in the United States. In San Francisco, rent for a one-bedroom apartment can easily exceed $3,500 per month, while Los Angeles and San Diego typically see rents ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 in desirable neighborhoods. Groceries, dining, and transportation costs are also higher than the national average. Despite these expenses, California’s diverse job opportunities, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture make it a top destination for many. The state’s wide range of cities and neighborhoods means you can find a lifestyle that fits your budget, whether you prefer the bustling energy of LA or the laid-back charm of smaller towns like Santa Cruz or Palm Springs.
Housing
Housing in California is incredibly diverse, from luxury high-rises in downtown Los Angeles and San Francisco to beachfront homes in Malibu and cozy suburban neighborhoods in the Bay Area. Areas like Beverly Hills and Palo Alto cater to luxury living, while cities like Sacramento or Fresno offer more affordable options without sacrificing amenities. California’s housing market also includes unique architectural styles, such as mid-century modern homes, Spanish-inspired villas, and trendy urban lofts. With options ranging from vibrant urban centers to quiet coastal towns, you’re sure to find a neighborhood that suits your lifestyle.
Job opportunities
California is a global economic powerhouse, offering a wealth of job opportunities across industries like technology, entertainment, healthcare, and agriculture. Silicon Valley remains the tech capital of the world, home to giants like Apple, Google, and Meta, as well as countless startups. Los Angeles is a hub for the entertainment and media industries, while the Central Valley plays a critical role in agriculture. Healthcare, education, and renewable energy are also thriving sectors. Whether you’re an engineer, artist, educator, or entrepreneur, California’s dynamic economy offers endless opportunities for career growth and innovation.

The state is also home to top-tier private schools and highly regarded public high schools like Lowell High School in San Francisco and the Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies. California’s commitment to education extends to specialized programs in technology, the arts, and STEM fields. With its world-class universities and diverse K-12 options, the state provides excellent learning opportunities for families and students at every level.
Transportation
California’s transportation system varies widely by region. In urban centers like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego, public transit systems such as BART, Metro, and MTS provide buses and trains that connect major areas. However, California is a car-centric state, with most residents relying on personal vehicles due to its expansive layout. Traffic can be challenging, especially in cities like LA, but California’s iconic highways make road trips a popular pastime. For intercity travel, Amtrak, regional airports, and high-speed rail projects offer additional options, while international airports like LAX, SFO, and SAN make global travel accessible.

Whether you’re exploring cultural landmarks, enjoying live music, or relaxing on a beach, California’s entertainment options are unparalleled.

California’s natural beauty is one of its biggest draws, with a variety of parks and outdoor spaces that showcase its diverse landscapes. Yosemite, Joshua Tree, and Redwood National Parks offer breathtaking scenery and world-class hiking opportunities. Beachgoers can enjoy iconic destinations like Santa Monica, Laguna Beach, and Big Sur. For urban green spaces, Golden Gate Park in San Francisco and Griffith Park in Los Angeles provide expansive areas for recreation.
