Which New York move are you planning?
A Manhattan service-elevator booking, a Brooklyn walk-up and a small room move need different scopes. Start with the actual address and the things you are taking.
A studio or selected furniture
Use an item list and carton count rather than the word “small.” Include the bed, sofa, desk and pieces from shared areas that belong to you. The starting-price table is a reference; access and the service selected still need to be matched to the estimate.
A full apartment or household
Count every room and decide how much packing you want handled. Include furniture preparation, fragile items and any additional pickup. If the receiving building limits moving hours, share the available appointment before the delivery plan is settled.
A move before the New York keys
Request storage if the Boston property must be empty before the next home is available. Keep the belongings you need during the gap with you. Include later delivery and building access when comparing the complete arrangement.
Boston to NYC moving prices
Use the home-size prices below as a starting point. The inventory and access at both buildings still matter: a lightly furnished one-bedroom apartment and a one-bedroom with a home office can require different amounts of work.
| Home size | Crew and truck | Delivery option | Starting estimate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio Or Less | 2 movers and 1 truck | Same or next day | $890 |
| Small 1 Bedroom | 2 movers and 1 truck | Same or next day | $1,090 |
| Large 1 Bedroom | 3 movers and 1 truck | Next day | $1,690 |
| Small 2 Bedroom | 3 movers and 1 truck | Next day | $2,190 |
| Large 2 Bedroom | 3 movers and 1 truck | Next day | $2,490 |
| 3 Bedroom apartment | 3 movers and 1 truck | Next day | $2,990 |
| 2-bedroom Townhouse/House | 3 movers and 1 truck | Next day | $2,990 |
| 3-bedroom Townhouse/House | 4 movers and 1 truck | Next day | $3,290 |
| 4-bedroom Townhouse/House | 4 movers and 1 truck | Next day | $3,490 |
| 5+-bedroom Townhouse/House | 5 movers and 2 trucks | Next day | $3,790 |
Starting estimates depend on the actual inventory, access and services. Confirm the available delivery option for your date when booking.
Before booking, ask for the pickup and delivery arrangements, packing materials, travel charges and any access-related costs in writing. If you add items or change the destination after the estimate, contact Milvus so the scope can be updated.
Plan the delivery before the truck leaves Boston
Start at the New York end of the move. The borough, entrance and permitted moving hours shape the delivery: a Manhattan freight elevator, a Brooklyn stoop and a Queens driveway each need different arrangements.
Send the building's move-in instructions with your inventory, including any certificate-of-insurance requirements. Identify the service entrance and the person who can open it. Milvus can review those details before you commit to a schedule the property cannot accommodate.
The Boston stairs deserve the same attention. Count flights, photograph tight landings and identify basement or rear exits. Add the bike in storage and boxes in the shared basement to the inventory.
Make the furniture fit the apartment
The difficult measurement is often the turn between two doors. Measure your largest sofa or wardrobe, then check the entrance, stair landing and elevator opening at the new address. Photos help identify what needs a closer look; a floor plan alone rarely shows every obstruction.
Choose full packing if you need help throughout the home, or ask us to handle selected rooms and fragile pieces. Tell us about glass tops, large mirrors and furniture with loose joints. Packing, disassembly and reassembly should be described in your estimate so you know which work is included.
- Keep keys, identification, medication and valuables with you.
- Mark cartons for their destination rooms rather than only their contents.
- Set aside the bedding, charger and basic kitchen items you will want before unpacking.
- Photograph cable connections before you disconnect your desk or entertainment setup.
Match your keys to your delivery date
The route price table includes same-day or following-day service for some move sizes. Confirm availability for your date and building hours. Driving time by itself does not include loading, unloading or waiting for access.
If your Boston lease ends before the New York apartment is ready, ask about storage between homes. Decide which items you need to keep with you and confirm how redelivery will be arranged. Book your own travel around the agreed delivery window, with someone available to receive the shipment.
The details that matter
A ZIP code starts the quote; the borough and building finish it
Give the full New York address, apartment number and approved unloading entrance. Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island are not interchangeable delivery labels. A building may require an elevator reservation or specific insurance paperwork; send the exact instructions to Milvus for review.
Compare the service behind the price before booking. Ask which delivery option applies, what packing or furniture preparation is included and how an inventory change is handled. A same-day request must fit loading and both buildings’ access, not just the road journey. Keep the confirmed receiving contact available during delivery.
Questions about your Boston to New York move
Do you move to all five New York City boroughs?
Include your full destination address when requesting a quote for Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island. The address lets us review access and the route instead of treating every New York move as the same job.
Can I move only a studio or a few large items?
Yes, ask for a quote with the actual item list. The published studio starting price is a guide; tell us about every large item and any boxes so the estimate reflects your move.
What if I am moving from New York to Boston?
Use our New York to Boston page for the reverse move. The same two addresses can produce different access and scheduling needs when pickup and delivery switch places.
Can the shipment go to two New York addresses?
List both destinations and the items for each one in the initial request. Separate stops, boroughs and building appointments affect the work. Label the shipment by destination so delivery can follow the agreed plan.
What if the building requests a Certificate of Insurance?
Forward the exact requirements, building details and deadline to Milvus before booking. Ask for the request to be reviewed for the planned move. Do not assume a general statement about insurance satisfies a particular building’s paperwork.
