Napa Valley to Oregon Movers

It’s no secret that people are leaving Napa Valley. In 2020, more people moved out of California than ever before. People have been leaving the Golden State steadily since 2016, according to U-Haul.

At Turner Moving & Storage, we have been completing interstate moves since 1949. Lately, we’ve been moving a lot of our customers out of Napa Valley to Oregon.

Oregon is California’s northern neighbor, and not too far from Napa, where Turner is based. Many people may choose to move to Oregon for its proximity to the Golden State – it offers a less expensive, simpler life, without leaving the Pacific Coast altogether.

Another reason many people are choosing to move to Oregon is the cost of living. California is 19.3% more expensive on average than Oregon. That means housing costs, groceries, transport and other necessary expenses are all less expensive in Oregon. Oregon also has no sales tax, which cuts down the cost of living even more.

While California’s climate is sunny year-round, Oregon has a cooler and more varied climate. This is desirable for people who want to get out of the heat but still enjoy sunny summer days. People living in Oregon will experience all four seasons throughout the year, unlike those living in California.

Oregon’s gorgeous scenery is a large draw for visitors and residents, too. The Oregon coast is lined with beaches, lighthouses, cliffs and sand dunes. The central part of the Beaver State is home to the Cascade Mountains and Mt. Hood, the highest in the mountain range.
