What to Expect When Moving from New York to California
Travel Route
It is important to plan ahead your journey from New York to California. The best way is via I-80 West, which goes from New York City all the way to the San Francisco Bay.
This route covers 3,000 miles and takes around 4 to 5 days of driving, meaning you will need to plan some great stops to make this enjoyable for the family.
If you love the desert, plan your road trip around a nice hotel stay. You can also take the I-70 West from New York City to I-15 South in Utah; although it is slightly longer, you will find yourself in the Rocky Mountains.
Lifestyle
Life in New York is a fast-paced state with a city that never sleeps and is driven by ambition. You will find a strong focus on career, culture, and social status, where people are booking coffee with friends weeks in advance.
California is a more relaxed and chill lifestyle, with people loving the outdoor activities and wellness space where everyone is all day at the gym, and at great parties all night long. California has so much to offer with the great coastal towns you won’t get bored.
Adjustment Tips
Adjusting to a a drastic life change like this means preparing ahead of time and being easy on yourself. Everything from the food, the weather and the cultural vibe are different so try to enjoy the ride.
Both CA and NY have varied areas so try and find your spot in California that fits the vibes you loved in NY.

Cross Country Moving
A long distance move takes a lot of planning, preparation, and coordination. Fortunately, the team at Moving APT offers all three – and more.
When you book your New York to California moving company, you want a team you can trust. You need to be sure they’ll show up on time, go where they’re supposed to go, and handle all your stuff with care while they’re at it. That’s why we vet all our movers, and that’s why we do a little secret shopping to make sure they’re staying honest and staying sharp.
Full Packing
Sure, you’ve seen the “life hacks” about using old Amazon boxes to pack up all your stuff, but are you really gonna trust cardboard that’s been sitting around for three years? Don’t be cheap, and don’t be reckless. Pay the pros to handle the packing, and make sure you’re getting the best packing services in New York.
What makes Moving APT so awesome when it comes to packing? High-quality boxes and padding supplies. Specialized equipment for loading and hauling. Extra TLC for high-value stuff like art and antiques. Custom crating for those awkward-shaped, awkward-sized items. The list goes on.
Storage Solutions
You can’t keep a moving truck in your driveway forever. The neighbors won’t like it, and your movers have places to go. Good thing Moving APT offers top rated Florida storage, too.
If you need more time to get unpacked and get situated, we get it. That’s why we offer secure, on-site storage for all that extra stuff. You get more time to rearrange your new place at your own pace, and when you need that last box or missing end table, we’ll run it over to you so you don’t have to make any extra trips. More flexibility, and more security. That’s what you get with Moving APT.
Corporate Relocation
You’ve got a million things to keep track of at work. Don’t make “moving our entire operations” a million and one.
We’ve got you covered if you need a corporate move done right. Our New York commercial movers know their way around mom-and-pops and international HQs alike. Whether you’ve got inventory to pack up, machinery or appliances to load, or just one of those weirdo tech-bro playgrounds in the middle of your office (think pool tables, arcade cabinets, and massage chairs), we can pack it, haul it, and get it unloaded and unpacked with minimal fuss.

Answering New York to California Moving FAQs
Packing supplies will usually cost between $200 and $600, but there’s no guarantee your nearest big box store will have what you need in the first place. If you’re really desperate, you can ask around at office parks, bookstores, and even liquor stores.
They usually have sturdy boxes they’re willing to part with. (Or, you can skip the whole hassle and pay for packing services.)
If you want to really prepare for moving day, we recommend starting early. Like, WAY EARLY. Start planning at least two or three months in advance, and try to downsize as much as possible before you start shopping for moving quotes. If you’re doing your own packing, start with your least-used items, and slowly work your way to your most-used items.
PS: If you’re looking for more last-minute advice, we recommend putting all your daily essentials in one easy-to-access backpack or suitcase. That way you won’t have to dig through tons of boxes just to find your toothbrush.
The cheapest way to move is to DIY. At least, on paper. Unfortunately, after you rent a truck, pay for gas, shell out extra money for food and lodging, and skip out on all those paychecks so you can wrap, pack, load, and haul all by yourself, your savings may not be what you expected. It may cost a little extra, but a full service move is way more efficient.
