Moving from Orlando, FL, to Boston, MA

Moving to New England

The theme parks in Orlando can be fun for families and thrill seekers, but moving away from the city doesn’t mean leaving adventure behind. Relocating 1,300 miles northeast to Boston will bring some lifestyle changes and a different pace of life.

Boston’s population of around 676,000 residents in the city limits and nearly 5 million in the metro is double the size of Orlando’s population. The city may also feel less spacious since it occupies less land and has a higher population density. Keep reading to learn more about what awaits you in “Bean Town.”

Enjoy all four seasons in Boston

If you’re looking forward to gorgeous fall colors, you’ll find them and more in Boston. Unlike Orlando, the city experiences all four seasons. 

Orlando is hot and humid most of the year, with average temperatures ranging from 49 to 92 degrees. Boston experiences a wider average temperature range of 19 to 82 degrees.

Boston typically gets 48 inches of snow and 47 inches of rain per year. Snow is rare in Orlando, and the city averages 52 inches of rain annually. And while it isn’t located in “The Sunshine State,” Boston still has around 200 sunny days per year to explore your new hometown.
