Learn All About the Benefits of Living in Lousiana
If you’re looking to do more than stop by and visit one of Louisiana’s haunted hotels or historical sites and are planning to settle down in this beautiful Southern state, here is the lowdown on what you should know.
#1 There’s Nothing Quite Like Louisiana Cuisine
With a heavy influence from Creole, Cajun, Spanish, French, and African culture, Louisiana serves food like nowhere else. Especially in the Southern parts of Louisiana, you’ll find high-class comfort Southern food, spicy Creole and Cajun dishes, and crawfish cooked to perfection.
If you’re a true foodie like most New Jerseyans, Louisiana will introduce your palate to flavors like nothing you’ve ever experienced. From hearty stews like gumbo and shrimp etouffee to Po’Boy sandwiches and crawfish boil, you’re sure to satisfy cravings you didn’t even know you had — just make sure you always have a napkin, or a bib, on hand. And always save room for beignets.
#2 You’re Sure To Run Into a Gator
If you’re not a fan of reptiles, especially predatory ones that can get up to 15 feet long, it may be frightening the first time you come across an alligator in the wild (or possibly your backyard). However, with more than one million alligators living in Louisiana, which is about a quarter of the number of people, you’re likely to encounter one during your time living in the state.
Fortunately, alligator attacks are very rare, and Louisiana only has one possible recorded fatality. While seeing these reptiles in their natural habitat on a swamp tour can be a fun activity, to ensure the safety of both humans and alligators, Louisiana locals know to be cautious around bodies of water and to report nuisance alligators if they become an issue.

#3 It’s Actually Affordable To Live There
While the cost of living in New Jersey is far above the national average, Louisiana is, overall, a very affordable place to live. The median home cost is $163,000 (compared to $335,600 in New Jersey). Other expenses, such as groceries, healthcare, and utilities, are more affordable than most states in the US as well. Of course, the exact location you’re moving to can affect how much you can expect to pay for daily living. When comparing the cost of living with quality, these five cities were ranked the best value:
- Houma
- Bossier City
- Slidell
- Baton Rouge
- Lake Charles
#4 You Can Get Away With Wearing Shorts All-Year Long
While Louisiana surely has its windy and rainy days, the temperatures are warm all year long. Summers hang around the high 80s to the low 90s, and you’ll rarely see a day lower than 60 degrees, even in the coldest winter months. Snow is a very rare occasion in Louisiana, so be prepared to trade your snow jacket in for a raincoat.
Speaking of rain, Louisiana, like New Jersey, has its share of major storms, which historically have had the ability to turn the state upside down. Tropical storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes are not foreign to the state, especially cities that sit along the coast. As a new resident of Louisiana, it’s important you take certain precautions, such as making your house storm ready, and pay attention to evacuation warnings.
#5 You’ll Never Run Out of Things To Do
One thing that you’ll never experience living in Louisiana is boredom. There are limitless things to do all year round, from trying out a new restaurant in New Orleans to exploring one of many haunted or historical (is there a difference?) sites in the state. The National WWII Museum is a must-see spot, along with the USS Kidd. You’ll definitely want to dedicate several weekends to exploring all that the French Quarter has to offer.
Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival bring people in from all over the world, so there’s plenty of new faces to see. There are also many other activities available for people with outdoorsy hobbies, such as camping, hiking, hunting, trapping, or fishing.

#6 There’s No Need to Rush
If you’re used to the hustle and bustle of New Jersey, you’ll be in for a loop getting used to the laid-back style of Louisiana. People are hardly in a hurry to go about their day and take time to enjoy the views and good times. While this doesn’t mean you should expect your boss to turn a blind eye if you’re late to work on the first day, you can let some of your stress melt away as you accept the Louisiana way of life.
At its core, Louisiana is a state that is concerned with having a good time — eating delicious food, listening to good music, and spending time with the people you hold dear. Historical streets and old songs are treasured rather than replaced by the new and trendy. Big business and high fashion are replaced with a simple lifestyle and a passion for soaking in anything that enriches the soul.

What others are saying
See what our satisfied customers have to say about their seamless moving experiences with White Glove Moving & Storage.
Simply, I would not recommend using this moving company.
From the very beginning, their team was professional, communicative, and patient. They walked me through every step, answered all my questions, and were transparent about timelines and costs—no hidden fees or last-minute surprises.
We all got to the unit after 6pm ( 8 hours later) as the men started to unload. The first truck was unloaded and packed in storage unit to the brim. When the 2nd truck opened at the loading dock the truck looked like it flipped upside down. All my boxes were crushed and I was horrified. As they started to fill the 2nd unit Marlon approached me and said this unit is not enough space to store the remaining items. I looked at him and said what do we do and he didn’t know, he called the company and they had no idea either. I said how can this happen as their coordinator came to access and told me what was needed. They agreed to hold the items in their truck but will charge me for storage until I can secure yet another unit in the morning.
The next day I spoke with Margaret Lombardi, executive director who told me the company is not responsible to give information on what size unit the customer needs when using self storage? Why does a coordinating rep come and take pics and offer this advice, he never indicated it was up to me and even recommended storage places to use nearby.
Although the movers were professional enough the day was almost 12 hrs for them, they were tired and getting sloppy as time went on, my home was left with debris & the floors were scuffed from moving. I felt the company made me feel this was my fault.
I would never recommend this company even if they were for free!!!!!!
Not only were they fast and meticulous, but they were also friendly and respectful throughout the entire process. Truly top-notch service—they went above and beyond. If anyone deserves a raise, it's this crew!
A big shoutout as well to Brittany from the office. She was a dream to work with—proactive, professional, and super efficient. She reached out to me first, stayed in contact via text and email, and made the entire scheduling process seamless. I didn’t have to worry about a thing—she handled everything smoothly from start to finish.
We’ve had two flawless experiences with White Glove Movers. No issues, no damage, just exceptional service from a great company with a stellar team. I highly recommend them, especially for long-distance moves.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly White Glove Experience – Thank You, Emad & Team!
We recently moved from South Jersey to Sussex County, and choosing White Glove Movers was the best decision we could have made. From the very first conversation, Emad Ezzat was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Emad took the time to understand our needs, answer every question, and provide a clear, fair estimate—no surprises, just honesty and transparency. On moving day, his team arrived exactly on time, fully prepared, and with the kind of positive, can-do attitude that instantly put us at ease.
The crew worked with precision and care, treating every piece of furniture and box as if it were their own. Large, heavy items were handled effortlessly, and fragile belongings were wrapped and packed with meticulous attention. Not a single item was damaged in transit—a true testament to their skill and dedication.
Beyond their professionalism, the team’s courtesy stood out. They were respectful, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted in our new home. Moving can be exhausting, but with Emad and his crew, it actually felt organized and under control from start to finish.
If you want a moving company that delivers on every promise, treats your belongings with the utmost care, and makes a stressful process feel effortless, look no further than White Glove Movers. We cannot recommend Emad Ezzat and his outstanding team highly enough!

We found WGM through Peloton, as they are certified to move their bikes and treadmills. Russo came to our apartment and did a walk through weeks prior to our move to give us a quote. This blew us away. How professional!
On the day of our move we had a fantastic team— Alfredo, Juan, Charley, and Milton—who were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure our move was smooth and stress-free. We were moving into a brand new townhome so we were concerned about damaging the walls. They protected everything from plastic on the floors/carpets to cardboard to protect the white walls (see photos).
We will undoubtedly be using White Glove Moving for any future moving needs. Their level of service, professionalism, and attention to detail cannot be beat. I highly recommend them with the utmost confidence!

We had the pleasure of working with a fantastic team— Alfredo, Juan, Charley, and Milton—who were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond to ensure our move was smooth and stress-free. The team was punctual, extremely hard-working, and incredibly thorough. They paid close attention to every detail, including taping up walls and laying down floor coverings to protect the surfaces of our new townhome. This level of care made all the difference in preserving the condition of our new townhome while moving in.
The team worked efficiently and handled all of our belongings with the utmost respect, ensuring everything arrived in perfect condition. It was clear that they take great pride in their work, and it truly showed in the care they took throughout the process.
We will undoubtedly be using White Glove Moving for any future moving needs. Their level of service, professionalism, and attention to detail set them apart from other moving companies. Highly recommend!

Thank you for a great experience.
We have used moving companies in the past, but White Glove is by far the best we have hired. Oscar the foreman led a top-star team, handling a drizzly day without any issues. Nothing broken. Heaviest furniture moved without any complaints. Bravo!
