DIRECTLY, WITHOUT USING SUBCONTRACTORS
If you ever read moving company reviews, you could notice that #1 reason why people experience issues when moving long distance is that their moving company outsources the delivery to other transportation companies and therefore loses control over the stuff.
In a situation like that the moving company can’t know where the stuff is and when exactly it will be delivered.
That is why at Roadway Moving we have our own trailers and we do not outsource delivery to others.
We can move you directly from NYC to any part of California and you can rest assured that your stuff will be packed safely, GPS tracked during the whole move and delivered on time.

6 Things to Know When Moving to California from New York
There is a lot to see and do in California, so you will want to make sure you have plenty of time to explore. There are many amazing places to visit in New York but they can get very expensive.
If you’re looking for something cheaper and more fun then moving to California would be your best option. Since there are so many differences between NYC and Cali, Roadway Moving wanted to help inform you the best we could so we’ve prepared some things to consider when planning to move from New York to California
Cost of living
California is known for having a low cost of living, which means you will have more money to spend on things that matter such as traveling and entertainment. New York City has one of the highest costs of living in the country so moving out west would save you a lot of money. In NYC, everything is expensive so when you move out west you can expect to see lower prices on apartments, transportation, etc.
Housing
The average rent for an apartment in NYC is $3,200 per month, while the average rent for an apartment in California is $1,726. You will find that the cost of living is much higher than in other states since New York has some of the highest taxes in the country. Moving out west would give you a chance to experience living in a place with lower housing costs and a less hectic lifestyle.
Job opportunities
California is known for its entertainment industry and diverse job opportunities. Moving from New York City where most jobs are in the business sector, to California where you can work in the entertainment industry or something more creative would be a good change of pace. In New York City, there aren’t many job opportunities so moving west will give you more chances at finding employment.
Education
Moving from NYC to California would give you more chances at finding scholarships, financial aid, and other educational opportunities that are less expensive than in NY. New York has some of the most expensive universities in the country, so moving out west would give you more opportunities to get a degree that will help increase your income.
Transportation
The public transportation system in New York City is very complicated. There are a lot of different train lines, buses, taxis, etc. Moving out west would give you an opportunity to experience a more simple transportation system with less traffic and shorter commutes. The public transportation in California is known for being cheap, convenient, and easy-going so it will be a great change of pace from the NYC subway system.
Climate
The obvious choice would be California since it’s known for its warm weather all year round while NYC is cold most of the time. Moving from a place that has 4 seasons and extreme temperatures to one with an average temperature of 70 degrees is something you’ll enjoy greatly. Weather can make or break your day so moving away from those harsh winters will give you more reason to smile every day.
