What to check before booking a Jackson Heights move
Use this list to compare quotes against local figures for apartment size, hourly labor, building paperwork, and street access.
- Check the local NYC move benchmark: a standard local move is listed at $1,050, with a studio at $550, a one-plus-bedroom unit at $800, and a two-plus-bedroom unit at $1,200.
- Confirm the quote range by apartment size: studios are $500–$700, one-bedrooms are $800–$1,100, and two-plus bedrooms are $1,200–$1,800+.
- Ask how the crew is charged: hourly labor runs $85–$110 per mover, plus the truck, and a typical one-bedroom move tends to need a 2-to-3-person crew.

- Budget for building paperwork: most NYC buildings ask for a certificate of insurance, typically $50–$150.
- Plan for storage if the move requires it: storage rates are $100–$400 per month.
- Ask about added coverage: insurance upgrades are listed at $200–$400.
- Review street rules before the truck arrives: alternate side parking rules may add roughly $65; call 311 to check and stay clear of hydrants.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Queens County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 7% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
