Best Miami to New Jersey Movers Piece of Cake Moving

Experienced in moving you to New Jersey

Miami definitely has a rhythm, but New Jersey has a beat of its own, too. Being the home to Frank Sinatra, Bruce Springsteen, and Bon Jovi, you can start to see why. But, even with its legendary status as a coastal state, there’s more beyond the beautiful shores in NJ. For starters, you can get your own slice of Americana with the state’s diners, saltwater taffy, and football (the New York Giants actually play in NJ!). Top it off with some seriously beautiful natural features and tasty agricultural treats and you’ll never get tired of getting your fill of the Garden State.

If your next move is northward along the coast, make Piece of Cake Moving and Storage your relocation partner. Working with our experienced cross-country movers will ensure that no detail will be left unattended for your New Jersey move. Don’t take our word for it though, let our 5-star reviews speak for themselves. We also know that moving across the country is no small feat, but feeling secure about our no-surprise flat fee can put your mind at ease. Take advantage of our spectrum of services and we’ll take the work out of your relocation. That way, you can be elbow-to-elbow with fellow locals at your new favorite NJ diner in no time.

Our top moving tips when moving to New Jersey

While you may be used to long, hot summers and short winters in southern Florida, New Jersey will make a four-season believer out of you. You will still get the warm and humid summers. However, the winters can be quite cold and snowy, so getting some cold-weather gear once you’ve made the move will be key. Summer temps may top out at around the high 80-90s Fahrenheit (F) range, but the winters are regularly chilly at around 25-35F.

What’s more: you’ll be traversing the natural beauty of the shoreline and inland gems in all sorts of conditions with about 9.3 million fellow New Jerseyans. Learning more about the ins-and-outs of the state can help you better acclimate, including:

  • Cost of living. If you’re hoping to settle in for a while in New Jersey, you’re not alone but there’s a cost. Garden State residents have one of the highest tax burdens in the country, with one of the highest property taxes at 2.49%. But, while you’ll spend a pretty penny over property, you won’t pay taxes on items like clothing, food, and pharmaceutical drugs (for other items, the state sales tax is 6.625%). Back to the previous property point, if you’re hoping to own a home the median home value is at $418,500. However, those numbers can vary widely depending on the city. For instance, Montclair, NJ homes boast a median value at over double the state median home value. The same goes for renting an apartment. Rent for a one-bedroom space can vary quite a bit depending on where you’re planning on moving. To give an example, a one-bedroom in Atlantic City will run you about $1,200 each month, but renting the same type of real estate in Hoboken is about $3,100 on average. Putting all these numbers into perspective, $85,245 is the median household income in NJ.
  • Getting around. You’ll be happy to know there’s plenty of ways to get where you’re going in this neck of the Garden. You may be interested to know that it’s not always by personal vehicle though. Relatively speaking, NJ has a lower rate of car ownership with about 29 cars owned for every 100 people in the state. If you do choose to bring your car from the Sunshine state, be forewarned: it’s illegal to pump your own gas in the state of New Jersey. Another NJ anomaly you’ll want to be ready for: jughandles. These are lanes that branch off from road intersections to allow drivers to make indirect left turns or u-turns. There are a few different types and they may take a little getting used to! If you’d rather rely on public transportation, you’re in luck. There’s plenty of options available with the PATH train, Amtrak, and NJ Transit. You’ll easily be able to visit or even commute to nearby areas like New York City, Philadelphia, PA — and of course throughout the rest of the Garden State.
  • A taste of New Jersey. Though NJ has plenty of urban areas, there’s a reason it’s called the Garden State. It’s quite agricultural, boasting over 9,000 farms within its bounds. Though you may miss the Florida citrus bounty, you’ll be happy with all the fresh bell peppers, tomatoes, peaches and more you’ll find at your local farmer’s markets. What else is on order in NJ? Taylor ham — you may find this processed pork product among your breakfast menu items. Though a similar product can be found in neighboring states, Taylor ham is uniquely NJ. Another diner favorite in these parts are disco fries: a plate of freshly fried crinkle-cuts topped with melted mozzarella cheese and gravy (kind of like poutine). Perhaps you can grab a fork and help yourself to a heaping helping once you’ve finally unpacked.
  • Communing with nature. Moving from Miami and making your way to NJ means you won’t have to give up the beach! There’s over 100 miles of coastline along the state with more than 40 beaches from north to south. Sunbathers, surfers, and sunseekers alike flock to Asbury Park Beach to enjoy the shore and stomp along the boardwalk for fantastic food, shopping, and entertainment. For those ready to set sail or get to paddling, Brigantine Beach may be just the place for a more serene beach scene. Landlubbers will also rejoice; there are a number of natural attractions within the state borders to explore. In celebration of the home gardner, Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown, NJ features many flora delights including 55 different varieties of roses. To marvel at another feat of nature, you can visit the state’s tallest waterfall at Buttermilk Falls in Layton, NJ. Getting there is a short traverse (1.4 miles one way). However, this trail on the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is rated moderate-difficult, so strap on your hiking boots for the journey. You don’t have to stop there, there’s so much more to discover!
  • Oddball laws on the books. NJ certainly has its quirks — remember the law that bans pumping your own gas?. There’s a few more that remain in the laws. For instance, it’s illegal to sell a car on Sundays. So, if you’re in the market for one, plan accordingly. Another law prohibits the sales of handcuffs to NJ residents under the age of 18. Violating the law may have you in the county jail for up to 6 months. You may also be surprised that you’ll have to keep any slurping of your soup private, as it’s illegal to slurp soup in public spaces. If that puts a frown on your face, it’s good for you to know that people who live in Bernards Township have been banned from frowning in that part of NJ. It’s always good to be prepared and knowledgeable when you’re starting out in a new state.

    From start to finish my move was a great experience. I immediately got a quote. The scheduling was easy, and they provided me with information regarding insurance coverage (and took care of the paperwork my building provided). The move itself went like clockwork. The movers arrived on time and texted me when they were on their way with an ETA to the delivery site. They moved everything up the 3 flights of stairs into my apartment quickly and safely. A great company that provides great service at very reasonable rates.

    They were awesome! They take everything apart and then re assemble for you.They wrap up your tvs and glass shit professionally. They take the legs off your couch so it fits through doors. Everything's wrapped until it's inside so it doesn't ruin the paint on your walls if they rub against them.Not even a wine glass was chipped.

    They came at zero hour after the moving company I initially hired and paid a deposit to canceled. I was freaking out about my move not happening at all but they did get this done and my stuff arrived more or less intact and accounted for. They handled changes and snafus gracefully and earned their money. Hopefully I won't be moving again for a long time but if I get forced into that again, I'll remember this experience.

    Was very easy to call and set up a move. The price was good to. I had some mix-ups and needed to add items and even change the date, but they were able to easily accommodate. Day of the move the crew was super nice and professional. They quickly packed up the entire apartment with ease, I didn't really lift a finger. They made what is usually a stressful day pretty easy.

  • star star star star star

    I was amazed how efficient the guys were. they sorted out my items to be removed and, went straight to work. We will definitely use A Piece of Cake multiple times in the future until, we officially make the BIG MOVE! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP....YES, IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE! NO STRESS INVOLVED...JUST SWEET SERVINGS.....

    Piece of Cake Moving was phenomenal to work with. From the initial sale, to the follow up, to the day of delivery. The moving crew themselves were a dream to work with. I honestly don't know how they managed to move everything we'd accumulated over the years in such a short (relatively) period of time. Will definitely use them again (in hopefully 7-8 years).

    Jose and his team did a great job moving my husband and I. They arrived on time and were very organized. They were professional, courteous and moved us quickly. They wrapped our furniture very well. They took apart and put together our bed and sectional couch. We were very pleased and would recommend them.

  • star star star star star

    Nicholas and Giga made this moving experience an easy one, especially since I was moving alone. They were punctual, kind and very thoughtful. When we arrived to my apartment? They helped unwrap all the packing tape and set up my furniture and bed - something that would take probably days for me. They delivered excellent service and went beyond my expectations.

  • star star star star star

    Excellent moving company. I hired 2 men for 2 hours to complete 1 bedroom move. They arrived early, were extremely efficient, helpful, personable, strong, and careful. They finished the job with 45 min to spare. Everything went extremely smoothly. I would hire Piece of Cake again.

    Great move with POC movers! I rented their pink bins which was an excellent choice, they provide plenty of packing paper, zip ties, and tags. My team arrived right at the start of their arrival window and quickly and safely packed all my bins and furniture into their truck. The team just as efficiently unloaded everything, leaving the bins in the labeled rooms and re assembling my bed frame. I definitely recommend renting their bins. I would definitely use Piece of Cake movers again and recommend them to a friend.

    The movers were so professional, friendly and quick. They took such great care of my stuff. I happened to move on one of the hottest days of the year and felt so bad. They were gracious and so still worked quickly. Pls make sure you tip your movers good, they work hard and were really great!

  • star star star star star

    I had made an appointment from another moving company that completely screwed me over the day of. I called every moving company in New York freaking out, and Piece of Cake was willing to come at 7pm to help me move, last minute. I genuinely don't know what I would have done if they didn't go out of their way to fit me in. Anytime in the future I will be using piece of cake moving! They boxed and unboxed so fast and efficiently, it was amazing!
