Moving From Napa Valley to Los Angeles

Comparing Napa Valley and Los Angeles

Even though they reside in the same state, Napa Valley and Los Angeles are very different areas. Part of this has to do with the large distance between the two cities and the vastly different types of people that live in Napa Valley and Los Angeles.
As you plan your move across California, we highly recommend having an understanding of the key differences between these cities. As movers who have hauled between these areas for decades, we have an understanding that we have put into this list of key differences between Napa Valley and L.A.:

• Housing Market: Both Napa Valley and Los Angeles are home to high housing prices, however, there is a key difference that you should be mindful of when buying an L.A. home. While the percentage of homes sold above listing price is 50.5% in Napa Valley, it is a whopping 64.4% above asking in Los Angeles. We suggest looking at what homes are selling for when planning your home purchase, not what they are listed for.
• Population: Most people understand that Los Angeles is a huge city. However, it can be difficult to wrap your head around just how big of a city it is. Looking at the density, you will find that Napa has a population density of 4,439.20/sq mi, while Los Angeles has nearly double that with 8,359.0/sq mi.
• Climate: While Napa Valley gets a bit colder in the winter months, the real difference in climate is the amount of rain that Napa Valley gets compared to Los Angeles. While Napa Valley is a bit below the national average with a bit over 25 inches of rain a year, it is much more than the average of 14.93 inches in Los Angeles. You will have to be even more mindful of your water consumption. Make sure you are aware of city ordinances regarding water use.

As you can see, the differences between these cities are vast, despite sharing a state. These differences will play a part in how your budget is laid out and how you approach fitting into your new hometown.
