Kearny in one picture
Kearny sits between the Passaic and Hackensack rivers. Few homes have elevators; many have a porch, stoop or side door.
How the truck gets to Kearny
Our trucks start in Brooklyn. From Brooklyn or lower Manhattan, a Kearny move usually runs through the Holland Tunnel and then west on the NJ highways across the Meadowlands. From Midtown, the Lincoln Tunnel, the Turnpike and Route 280 can work better at some hours. Traffic decides, so we pick the route for your date and start time.
Moving out of Kearny into New York? The same roads run the other way, and NY buildings add their own rules. See our New Jersey to NYC page.
The multi-family house move
A common Kearny home is a two- or three-family house with its own front door, steep inside staircase, and porch or stoop. Many have a shared driveway and a detached garage out back.
- Upstairs tenants carry everything down one or two flights. Big pieces come apart; we reassemble them at the new home.
- Owners on the ground floor usually have the basement and the garage too. Sort them early; they take longer than any room.
- Moves between two Kearny houses are short on the map but have stairs at both ends. Tell us the floor at each address.
- Families joining up sometimes merge two households into one house. Tell us which pieces go to which floor, and what goes to storage or away.
Short moves nearby
Kearny, Harrison and Newark line the Passaic. We plan each move on its own terms: rentals near Harrison’s PATH, row houses in Newark’s Ironbound, family homes on Kearny’s side streets.
How pricing works: your rate and terms are in writing before moving day, and your final cost depends on how much you move. If you add items or services, we confirm the change in writing first.
Kearny checklist
- Tell us the total steps at both addresses.
- Tell us if the truck can use the driveway or must stop on the street.
- Ask neighbors to clear shared driveways.
- Tell the other household your date, and keep shared halls clear.
- Clear the basement and garage of what you will not take.
- Keep documents, money and medicine with you.
