From city skyline to backyard sunsets - we make your New York to Connecticut move fast, simple, and handled by pros who know both sides of the Hudson.
In the past two years, over 60,000 New Yorkers have made the move to Connecticut — trading crowded streets for calm neighborhoods, more space, and better balance. Here’s why the trend continues to grow.
Connecticut offers the best of both worlds - quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods and larger homes just a short drive or train ride from Manhattan. Many movers cite the shift from cramped apartments to open yards and peaceful mornings as life-changing.
Towns like Westport, Darien, and Greenwich are nationally recognized for their excellent public schools and family-friendly communities. With safe streets, great parks, and after-school activities, Connecticut has become a go-to destination for raising kids while staying close to NYC careers.
While some parts of Connecticut rival New York’s affluence, many suburban and inland towns offer lower property taxes, affordable utilities, and more value per square foot. For many, it’s an upgrade in lifestyle - not just a change in address.
With more companies embracing flexible schedules, Connecticut hits the sweet spot for hybrid workers - close enough to commute when needed, far enough to unwind. Towns along the Metro-North line let professionals enjoy both peaceful living and quick access to NYC offices.

Practical, short-distance advice to keep your move efficient, on-time, and stress-free.
NYC buildings book up fast—secure your freight window and COI 1–2 weeks ahead to lock in the load time and avoid rescheduling fees.
Short-haul efficiency = savings. Use smaller, tighter boxes for quick load/unload and safer stair/elevator runs.
Avoid end-of-month weekends when buildings and streets are busiest. Tuesday–Thursday often means smoother access and better timing.
Mark FRAGILE and PRIORITY / DAY-1 (linens, toiletries, coffee kit, chargers) so they’re placed last on the truck and first in your CT home.
Double-check lobby, freight, HOA, or driveway access times in NYC and CT so crews can work continuously without delays.
