Moving From NYC to Connecticut: Tips for a One-Day Move

Many New Yorkers move to Connecticut for more space while staying close to the city. Most moves to Fairfield County can be finished in a single day with good planning.

Start early

An early start helps you load in the city and beat traffic on I-95 or the Merritt Parkway. Traffic heading out of the city on Friday afternoons can be heavy.

Be ready at the loading end

The NYC side usually takes the longest because of elevators, stairs, and parking. Have everything packed and your elevator reserved before the crew arrives.

Plan the new home layout

Houses often have more rooms, basements, and garages than city apartments. Label boxes clearly so the crew can place everything in the right spot quickly.

Choose a licensed interstate mover

A move from New York to Connecticut crosses state lines, so your mover needs federal authority. Crossroads Moving operates under USDOT 1323278 and MC 510368. Call 201-567-4135 for a free quote.
