Ruslan helped make our move from Philadelphia to NYC very smooth. In NYC, our apartment is a fifth floor walk up: Ruslan, Vlad, and co. moved boxes, suitcases, a bookcase, our couch...and more up swiftly and with extreme care. A very easy, pleasant experience from booking to completion, and priced better than the bigger corporations handling such moves. Thanks WellKnown Moving!
Moving from Philadelphia to New York City is easy with Well-Known Moving Company. They pick up movers regularly in Center City, University City, Northern Liberties, Old City, and Fishtown. We deliver to Midtown, Tribeca, the Financial District, Battery Park City, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, Astoria, and Long Island City in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. We also deliver to nearby suburbs like parts of Long Island, Westchester County, and North Jersey.
In Philadelphia, downtown pickups often depend on timing around I-95, I-676, and I-76. In New York City, trucks must stay on the truck-route network, cannot use most parkways, and may face much tighter curb access in Manhattan and other dense neighborhoods. That is why a Philadelphia to NYC move needs planning around the exact address, not just the city name.
Our team plans each move around your inventory, access conditions, and timeline, then gives you a flat-rate estimate with no hidden fees. We regularly help customers move into walk-up apartments, elevator buildings, and small offices, and we also handle fragile or oversized items that need extra protection. Tell us ahead of time if the building you want to move into has any special moving needs, so we can make the necessary arrangements.
You can rely on a crew that knows this route and its building-access challenges. Our movers are trained professionals with long-distance experience on the Philadelphia-to-New York route. They know how to pack, protect, load, and transport belongings safely, including fragile and oversized items such as beds, pianos, mirrors, and artwork. Our movers are background-checked employees of the company. Moving teams in WellKnown are structured so that the lead mover always has more than three years of experience in moving.

WellKnown Moving knows how to deal with the logistical differences between Philadelphia and New York City. We know the areas in Philadelphia and the boroughs of New York City well, which helps us plan moves that go more easily and with fewer surprises. As a Philadelphia-based company that regularly handles moves into New York City, we understand the route, building requirements, and delivery constraints that come with it.
A move from Philadelphia to New York covers about 100 miles and typically requires about 2-3 hours of travel time (depending on traffic). The full move, however, can take 1 to 2 days once packing, loading, unloading, elevator schedules, and curb access are factored in.
🔒 Insurance: We place a high priority on ensuring the security of your possessions. Basic insurance is included in all of our services by default!
There are a variety of neighborhoods, housing types, and building conditions in New York City. Additionally, there is often less curb space, stricter building rules, and smaller transport windows here than in Philadelphia when people move. Housing costs are higher, traffic and congestion can make moving take longer than planned, especially in Manhattan and crowded parts of Brooklyn and Queens. People who are moving just outside of New York City may find that commuter areas like Westchester, Nassau County, and parts of North Jersey have more room while still being close to New York City.

We develop a customized long-distance moving plan and determine the timing of the move. At this stage you need to decide whether you are doing the packing yourself or using our professional packing service. If you need additional services, we’ll discuss them during the call.
On the appointed day and time, we arrive at the location in Philadelphia. If packing is included, we can do it on moving day or one to several days in advance. We recommend that the customer be present during this stage.
Then we move straight to the final location in New York City or stop at the storage facility, if this service has been purchased. We carefully unload all your belongings, place items in the agreed locations and reassemble the furniture. If arranged, we help unpack all items.
After the move, we’re available to answer questions and provide support. If anything is missing or damaged, contact us as soon as possible and we’ll work with you to resolve the issue.

Our prices for moving from Philadelphia to New York City are based on a flat rate. The main pricing factors are the size of your inventory, access conditions at both locations, and any extra services you choose. Studio moves may start around $900, while most one-bedroom moves average around $1,600. The exact price depends on the size of the move, access difficulty, building requirements, and any added services.
For example, an easy move from Philadelphia to Manhattan that can be done by elevator is not the same as a walk-up move in New York City with a tight delivery window and strict building requirements. The end price can also change because of packing, storage, long carries, fragile items, and heavy pieces. That's why we base our prices on the specifics of your move instead of just the distance.
Your flat rate includes the crew, the truck, fuel, tolls, transportation, loading, unloading, and basic insurance. You can add extra services like packing/unpacking and storage if you need them and customize them to your specific needs. For example, if you want us to pack only your kitchen or only fragile or valuable items, we can customize the service.
| Move Size | Price Range | Average Price |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $900 - $2,700 | $1,600 |
| 2 - 3 bedrooms | $1,200 - $3,600 | $2,500 |
