What to know about moving in Newark
If you’re looking for the most cost-effective way to move to Newark, renting a moving truck and doing all the packing yourself is definitely the cheapest option. But if you want to save time (and eliminate stress!) hiring a professional mover is the way to go. A full-service move may be more expensive,1 but it’s worth the peace of mind, especially if it’s a quick move!
Newark is the largest city in New Jersey, and it’s still growing. As one of the largest cities within commuting distance of NYC, Newark is a great choice if you’re looking for a city with a lower cost of living, beautiful green spaces, culture, and accessibility.
Choosing which neighborhood to purchase a home or rent in all depends on what type of lifestyle you’re looking for. Known as “The Brick City,” Newark’s downtown is full of historical homes and apartment buildings to satisfy every type of family.2 If you want a busy city life, choose downtown where you can find arts, sports, and fantastic restaurants. Want something a little more family friendly? Look towards the suburbs, where you’ll find single-family homes in beautiful neighborhoods.
Storage units vary in cost, depending on the size and services available, but you can expect to spend between $70 and $300 dollars a month.3 Bigger units cost more, as well as climate control, and it’s worth booking your storage units online, as they are often cheaper if you book before arrival.
