Why are DC residents moving to Texas?

Why are DC residents moving to Texas?

A dramatic tax cut. Texas has no state income tax; DC’s top rate reaches 10.75% — one of the steepest swings of any interstate move.
Your career travels with you. Tech, defense, and government-contracting employers have expanded major hubs in Austin and Dallas–Fort Worth, letting many DC professionals transfer without changing industries.
More home for the money. Median home prices in most Texas metros run well below the District’s, and property goes further outside the Beltway comparison entirely.
Remote-work freedom. Hybrid DC employers make it possible to keep a Washington career from a Texas zip code.
Family and lifestyle changes. Beaches, boating, theme parks, and golf draw families and empty-nesters alike.

Moving out of DC comes with logistics most interstate moves don’t have — and JK, headquartered just outside the District, handles them every day:

Moving-day parking. Many DC streets require a DDOT Emergency No Parking permit to reserve curb space for a moving truck. Your JK move coordinator will guide you.
Rowhouses, condos, and high-rises. From narrow Capitol Hill staircases to elevator reservations and certificate-of-insurance requirements in NW condo buildings, JK crews plan for the building, not just the boxes.
A local team for a long haul. Your move starts with a crew that knows DC — and ends with delivery anywhere in Texas.
