Thinking about moving to Macon or Middle Georgia? Here is what to know about neighborhoods, nearby towns, timing your move, and how to make moving day easy.
Macon sits right in the heart of Georgia, which makes it a natural home base for families, students, military households and businesses alike. With Interstate 75 and Interstate 16 meeting here, it is easy to reach Atlanta, Savannah and the rest of the state — and just as easy to move in or out with the right plan.
Macon and Its Neighbors
Many people who say they are moving to Macon actually land in one of the surrounding communities. Each has its own feel, and our crews move families to and from all of them every week.
- Warner Robins and Centerville — close to Robins Air Force Base and popular with military families.
- Byron, Perry and Kathleen — growing Houston and Peach County communities along I-75.
- Forsyth and Gray — quieter small-town living within an easy drive of Macon.
- Milledgeville — home to Georgia College and historic downtown streets.
Timing Your Move
Middle Georgia summers are hot and humid, so early-morning starts make moving day easier on everyone. Late spring and summer are also the busiest moving months, as are the last few days of any month when leases end. Booking a few weeks ahead gives you the best choice of dates.
Settling In
Once you arrive, set up utilities, update your address, and if you are new to Georgia, visit the Department of Driver Services within 60 days for your Georgia license. Then get out and enjoy downtown Macon, the Ocmulgee Mounds, and the city famous for its cherry blossoms each spring.
