How much does moving to New York from Texas cost?

After months of job searching, I finally got a new job in New York! I’ll be moving out of my parents house in a couple of months, and need to start calculating the moving costs. What does moving to New York from Texas cost?

Congratulations on the new job! Moving to
New York
from
Texas
costs, on average, between $900 and $6,400. There are three main things that influence the total cost of your move: how much stuff you have, how you move, and when you move.
Moving to New York from Texas will cost a whole lot less if you’re bringing only a studio or one-bedroom apartment’s worth of stuff with you. On the flipside, moving a 2-3 bedroom place or entire home’s worth of belongings with you will cost between $1,000 and $8,000 more.
You can also make the move cheaper by renting a
U-Haul
and asking some friends to pitch in with the packing process. That way, the move will cost you between $864 and $1,667 total—no matter the size of your new space.
But, if the idea of a
road trip
isn’t an appealing one to you, you can take the easy—albeit more expensive—route and hire movers to handle it all for you. While we can’t tell you exactly what your movers will charge you, you can expect it to be somewhere in the $1,381 to $9,400 range.
Once you’re settled down in your new place, take a minute (or 45 seconds, rather) to check up on your
renters
or
homeowners
