Moving from Colorado to New York

Professional movers are absolutely essential for this 1,800+ mile cross-country move! The I-80 route is heavily traveled by moving companies, and NYC has incredible moving infrastructure. Book early though – this is a popular route and timing can be competitive.

Huge change coming! You're leaving Colorado's 300+ days of sunshine and dry air for New York's humid continental climate with real seasons. Think hot, sticky summers, cold winters, and way more precipitation than you're used to.

If you want unparalleled career opportunities, world-class culture, and don't mind paying premium prices, New York's incredible! You'll trade mountain adventures for Broadway shows, hiking for museums, and wide open spaces for the energy of the greatest city in the world.

Plan 6-8 weeks total, with professional movers taking 4-6 business days for transport. This is a well-traveled route with good infrastructure, though summer moves and NYC logistics can add complexity to timing.

The humidity change is dramatic – your belongings will need to adjust to way more moisture. If moving to NYC, make sure your movers have experience with urban logistics, narrow streets, and apartment building requirements. Climate-controlled transport is worth it!
