Honestly great experience Boston to NYC; they were super efficient, careful with our stuff, very flexible, and we didn’t have to lift a finger. Reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend and use again
I cannot recommend WellKnown enough. The team arrived early, packed quickly, and graciously moved all of my things into my new 5th floor walkup without a single complaint.

Whether you're going to Manhattan, Brooklyn, or the Long Island suburbs, WellKnown Moving Company is ready to help you with your move. We have teams in both New Jersey and New York, so we know the ins and outs of moving between these two areas.
We use flat rates without any surprise costs. You’ll always know the total price before the move begins. Our team takes care of everything from start to finish, and we work hard to make sure your things arrive safely. Many of our past customers have shared good feedback about our work. We’re also certified by the FMCSA, so you can count on us to handle your home, office, or special items.
Because we’re familiar with both states, we can plan the most efficient move. Most moves are done in one or two days. Whether you're going to busy Manhattan, Jersey City, or a quiet neighborhood, we’ll make things simple. We also handle moves back from New York to New Jersey.
Experienced and Professional Movers from New Jersey to New York
Our drivers regularly use main highways like I-95, I-78, and the Garden State Parkway. This helps us avoid areas that slow things down. We also know the rules for moving trucks in New York, including permits and documents that some buildings need.
We work across all five boroughs in New York and nearby cities in New Jersey like Newark, Hoboken, and Princeton. We also move people to places like Westchester and Long Island. No matter where you're going, we’re ready to help.
Trained Movers with the Right Tools
Every move has a lead mover with at least three years of long-distance moving experience. All our workers go through checks and training. We use modern tools to move large or breakable items safely. Our trucks are fully stocked with padding, straps, and other gear to keep your belongings safe.
Flexible Moving Options
We’ll talk with you before your move to go over the details. Tell us how many items you have, what needs to be packed, and if there’s anything special we should know. We’ll then choose the right number of movers and bring the supplies needed.
If you only need help with part of your move or overnight storage or just moving furniture, we can do that too. We have several options that fit different budgets. Every move comes with basic insurance at no extra cost.
Clear and Simple Pricing
We charge a flat rate, so you won’t pay more for things like stairs or quick stops—unless you're moving something very large or heavy, like a piano or a safe. A deposit is needed to book your move, but it can be refunded if you cancel at least two weeks before the move.
💡 If you're moving to New York City, getting a parking permit ahead of time can help avoid parking issues and fines on your move day.
Welcome to New York
There’s a reason New York City is so well known. From Times Square to Broadway and world-famous museums, there’s always something going on. The food options are endless, whether you want fancy meals or late-night snacks. Central Park and riverside paths give you a break from the noise and tall buildings.
Living here has its tough parts too. Traffic can be heavy, parking is limited, and costs are higher. But nearby suburbs like White Plains, Yonkers, and even New Jersey spots like Fort Lee or Montclair give you more space while still being close to the city.

Aibek and his team(s) in Boston and New York made this move easier than I ever could’ve imagined. They moved oversized and delicate furniture from two pickup locations to one drop off on a major street in New York and came in below any other quote we had by a good amount. Communicated well in the days leading up to and on the day of the move. Definitely worth it!
Stan and Alex were great! I would definitely recommend them to anyone moving!
They moved my 1 bedroom apt from Boston to Philly at the beginning of July. Very professional and good communication. Did a great job and everything was moved correctly without any loss of items or breakage. No hidden fees. Would highly recommend!
These guys were the best! Elvin and his team were well prepared. We had a move from Houston to San Antonio and they came with an extra truck to make sure everything would all fit. They were very thorough and careful with our furniture, antiques and large terrarium. Also, were in great spirits the whole time! Highly recommend.
On time, very courteous and good service.
Ismail is the best Ismail is the best, everything went perfectly.

The moving company was amazing The moving company was so professional. I was always in communication with them. The movers that came to my house to move my daughter working incredible. They were professional respectful on time and I will be recommending your moving company based on these three movers that came today and my experience to anyone that is moving. I've already recommended you to one of my friends and they are using you. Thank you so much for making the move today so easy.

What do I need to do before calling Wellknown?
How do people commute from New Jersey to New York?
- Train. Many people use NJ Transit trains, which go straight to Penn Station in Manhattan from different towns in New Jersey. Another popular option is the PATH train, which connects places like Hoboken, Jersey City, and Newark to Manhattan.
- Bus. Public buses run by NJ Transit and private companies go to the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan on a regular basis.
- Car. Some people choose to drive. They use highways such as the New Jersey Turnpike and cross into the city using routes like the Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, or George Washington Bridge.
- Ferry. Ferries from NY Waterway are available from different New Jersey cities along the Hudson River and go straight into Manhattan.
- Bike or Walk. A few people bike or walk if they live very close to the city. This is most common for those living in Hoboken or Jersey City.
Is it cheaper to live in New York or New Jersey?
- Rent. Apartments in New Jersey, even in areas close to New York like Hoboken or Jersey City, usually cost less than those in parts of Manhattan or Brooklyn.
- Property Taxes. Property taxes are higher in New Jersey, but the cost of buying a home in New York City is often much more, which can balance things out.
- Everyday Expenses. Food, utilities, and other regular expenses are mostly similar in both places, though New Jersey often comes out a little lower overall.
Do I pay taxes twice if I live in New York and work in New Jersey?
- If you live in New York but work in New Jersey, you will pay New Jersey state income tax on the money you earn there.
- You will also need to file a New York state tax return and report everything you earned.
- However, New York will give you credit for the taxes you already paid to New Jersey. This means you won’t be charged again on the same income.
The rules are made to avoid double taxation, but filing taxes in this situation can be more detailed. It may help to talk to a tax professional to make sure it’s done right.
