Route guide

Moving from Washington to New York

The move from Washington to New York is a common one for careers in finance, media, law and the arts, or simply for life in the city. It's about 230 miles up I-95 and the New Jersey Turnpike through Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey: a short interstate move, but one that needs planning for parking in D.C. and building rules in New York.

Planning tips

Tips for your Washington to New York move

A few things worth planning early on this route.

  1. 01

    Reserve parking in D.C.

    The District issues temporary no-parking permits for moving trucks. Apply well before moving day so the truck can park close to your door, especially on busy or narrow streets.

  2. 02

    Measure for row-house stairs

    Many D.C. row houses have narrow, turning staircases. Measure sofas, box springs and dressers before the move, and tell us if there's alley access behind the house.

  3. 03

    Downsize for New York space

    New York apartments are often smaller than what people leave behind. Get your new floor plan, measure the rooms and decide what fits before moving day.
