Three ways into Newark
Newark is further from the Hudson than the waterfront towns, so the route matters more. The usual route depends on where you start:
| Your move starts in | Usual route to Newark |
|---|---|
| Brooklyn or Staten Island | Across Staten Island (from Brooklyn, over the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge first), over the Goethals Bridge, then north on the Turnpike. From Brooklyn, lower Manhattan and the Holland Tunnel also work. |
| Lower Manhattan | The Holland Tunnel, then west across the Meadowlands on the New Jersey highways. |
| Midtown, upper Manhattan, the Bronx or Queens | The Lincoln Tunnel or the George Washington Bridge, then south on the Turnpike. |
Our trucks start in Brooklyn, so crossing New York is part of every Newark move. We pick the route for your day and hour, because rush hour at the tunnels and on the Turnpike adds time.
Newark neighborhoods and their homes
- The Ironbound. East of Penn Station. Dense two- and three-family homes, narrow streets and busy restaurant strips.
- Downtown. New high-rises and older offices. Expect building rules, a loading dock, an elevator booking and a COI.
- Forest Hill and the North Ward. Large older homes, with more rooms, more furniture and sometimes a piano.
- University Heights. Apartments near the colleges. Move dates bunch up at the start and end of each semester.
The Ironbound’s narrow streets
Ironbound streets are tight and busy. The truck needs a spot near your door, or the carry gets long. Tell us your cross streets, show us the block on a video estimate, and ask the city what you need to hold curb space on your date. Weekday mornings are usually calmer than evenings and weekends.
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.
Newark checklist
- Downtown building: get the move rules, elevator booking, loading area and COI wording. We issue the COI.
- House: count the porch steps and inside flights.
- Event nights downtown bring heavy traffic near the arena. Check the calendar before you pick a date.
- Students: confirm your move-out time with the building, and book early for the end of the semester.
- Pack a first-night box and keep your documents with you.
Short moves, long moves
Newark is close to Harrison and Kearny. Our New Jersey to NYC page covers city buildings. We also move households to most of the continental US.
