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 Chicago and you can rest assured that your stuff will be packed safely, GPS tracked during the whole move and delivered on time.

Cost of living
Chicago is very expensive-the cost of living here is much higher than in other cities such as New York or Los Angeles. Therefore, it’s essential to know the area where you will be living in order to find an apartment that fits your budget without skimping on style or location. The most significant difference between Chicago and New York City is that Chicago has a grid system, while New York is made up of many different streets and avenues. If you’re moving here for school, it’s important to do your research on the school district you will be living in. Some districts are better than others, some have excellent public schools, and others have none.
Housing
Chicago is the very expensive-the cost of living here is much higher than in other cities such as New York or Los Angeles. Therefore, it’s essential to know the area where you will be living in order to find an apartment that fits your budget without skimping on style or location. The biggest difference between Chicago and New York City is that Chicago has a grid system, while New York is made up of many different streets and avenues. If you’re moving here f, it’s important to know which area you will be living in so that you can get familiar with the surrounding neighborhoods. Many students choose Lincoln Park or Lakeview because they are close to campus and offer a wide variety of food options. If you’re looking for something more upscale, try the Gold Coast neighborhood. It has many luxury apartments and is filled with young professionals.
Job opportunities
in Chicago are very plentiful. If you want to work in the service industry, there are many restaurants and bars that need waiters and waitresses. Additionally, if you’re interested in working at a retail store such as Macy’s or Nordstrom, Chicago has plenty of opportunities for this position as well. If you’re looking for something more creative, there are several advertising companies in the city that will employ young people with skills in graphic design, web design, and copywriting.
Education
There are many schools in Chicago, but few stand out from the rest. If you’re moving here for school, it’s important to do your research on the school district you will be living in. Some districts are better than others, and some have excellent public schools, while others have none at all.
Transportation
The traffic in New York City is notoriously bad, and if you live in Manhattan, then there’s no way around it. However, when moving to Connecticut, you can enjoy a quieter commute with less traffic. There are many more transportation options in Connecticut than in NYC, like buses and trains that will get you where you need to go – whether it’s work, school, or just exploring the city. When moving to CT, you can save on transportation costs as you don’t have to pay for a MetroCard.
Entertainment
There’s always something going on in Chicago. From concerts at Northerly Island to the annual Taste of Chicago, there are plenty of events for you to enjoy with your friends and family. If you’re looking for more alone time, check out some stand-up comedy shows or take in a movie at Navy Pier’s IMAX theater. You can also go see a live performance at The Second City, an improv comedy club that originated here in Chicago. The Bulls, Blackhawks, White Sox, and Cubs all have their home games at Wrigley Field. It’s a great place to take in a game with your friends or family, but if you’re looking for something different, watch the Fire play soccer at Toyota Park or catch some basketball action at United Center. If you really want to experience Chicago as a native, attend one of these events and cheer on your hometown team!
Neighborhoods
Chicago is made up of many different neighborhoods that each have their own personality. If you’re moving here for school, it’s important to know which neighborhood you’ll be living in.
