The north polar cap melting will make no difference, as you know if you melt an ice cube in a glass of water, the water level does not change.
The south polar cap is different as the Antarctic is a continent. Should it melt completely and considering the relation between its surface and the total surface of the oceans, I guess you should move to a location just a few feet higher.

It depends if you live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. The Northern Hemisphere will not be greatly impacted by the melting of the polar ice caps because it will spark an ice age much like the Little Ice Age. The desalination of the water in the Northern Atlantic will cause a very rapid cooling of the Northern Hemisphere which in turn will make everything from around the Washington, DC. area northward icebound.
If you live in the Southern Hemisphere, just move up in the mountains for about a year and then you can go back to your waterlogged home:p.
In all seriousness though, an increase in global temperatures does not mean that the global sea levels will rise. In fact, in my personal opinion, it will cause them to lower because it will trigger a hemispheric ice age.

in case you opt directly to go whilst the polar ice-caps soften, you will desire to start up budgeting to purchase the united statescorporation, precise around now. of direction, you will have had very nearly as much as you necessary, through now, in case you had began around 50 years in the past, and would have saved, oh, approximately $a million million consistent with day, supply or take $10 thousand or $20 thousand consistent with day. You entire MORON! there is nowhere to go if the polar ice-caps soften! How ought to you even ask such a very stupid question! Do you have any thought of the sheer length of the ice-caps? they are so heavy that they've flattened the earth on the two ends. The intensity and the density of the ice-caps is so great that a nuclear bomb ought to no longer blast its way from the precise to the backside. There are chunks of ice as enormous as France! The polar ice-caps are no longer 2 little products of ice that should look exceptionally lovable floating in the sea. they are not ice-cubes so which you may use to make a glass of Scotch-on-the-rocks! they are an entire eco-gadget! If even enormous factors of them soften, they'd advance the point of the entire OCEAN through six ft!

As major shipping is increasingly using the north polar route, maybe you could move to one of the cities that will service the ships on their new route up there !

You move smack dab in the middle of whatever continent you currently live on. All of the land around the edges will be underwater and all of the people will move to the middle. Good luck with that.
