WHAT TO EXPECT MOVING FROM NYC TO CONNECTICUT:
NYC to Connecticut moves require a federally licensed carrier under USDOT authority — Serenity Movers holds USDOT #1395829. On the NYC side we handle your building’s COI, freight elevator window, and move-out coordination. On the CT delivery side we coordinate access to your new home and handle any building requirements for CT co-ops or managed buildings.

ROUTING AND TRANSIT:
NYC to Greenwich routes via I-95 North — approximately 45-60 minutes. NYC to Stamford is approximately 1 hour via I-95 or the Merritt Parkway. NYC to New Haven is approximately 1.5-2 hours. NYC to Hartford is approximately 2.5 hours. All highway and bridge tolls are included in your flat-rate price.

NYC BUILDING EXIT COORDINATION:
Your NYC building’s standard COI and freight elevator requirements apply on the departure end. Serenity Movers handles all documentation and scheduling before move day. We confirm your building’s move-out window and build transit time to Connecticut into the schedule.

CREW TIPS FOR NYC TO CT MOVES:
NYC to CT moves often involve downsizing from a city apartment to a larger CT home — which sometimes means furniture that was chosen for city living needs to be reconsidered for suburban spaces. The AI video walk-through of your NYC apartment lets us plan accurate truck sizing for your CT delivery.

NYC to Connecticut tip: Connecticut destinations typically offer more space and easier access than NYC apartments — longer driveways, ground-floor entry, no elevator queues.
