Moving to or From Queens

New York is usually referred to as the “concrete jungle where dreams are made of,” and the borough that stands behind this statement the most is Queens. If you want your dreams to come true, you will need trustworthy Queens movers to help you out. Cross Country Movers can do that for you. Our team of long-distance movers will make sure you have the best transition without much fuss. Take a look at what Cross Country Movers has to offer.

Our Queens Movers Will Provide You With the Best Moving Services

Thanks to years of experience in the cross-country moving industry, we understand that the relocation process needs to be tailored to your needs. This is why, as soon as you contact us for a quote and other information, you will be assigned a designated agent who will be in charge of your move from beginning to the end. This agent will answer any questions and requests you may have.

Professional Moving Services With No Hidden Costs

Once you contact our agents for cross-country moving services, they will arrange an in-home estimate of the price of your move. In other words, our movers in Queens will come to your home and make an inventory list of all the things you plan to relocate. Once the inventory list has been made, our agent will calculate the final quote for your move. There will be no hidden costs, and you will know exactly what you are paying for. We base our price on the distance, services you book, and most importantly – the inventory list. And the best part is – you can change the quote by adding or removing items from your list up to one business day before the move. In other words, you are in complete control of your expenses.

We Can Pack Your Home in No Time

Our moving service entails more than just simple loading and unloading. With us, you will get the standard packing service free of charge. This means our long-distance movers will pack and protect all your furniture, bulky items, and appliances before loading them on the truck. They will disassemble all the furniture you have and protect each piece with high-quality supplies. Once the truck arrives at your new house, they will unload everything and reassemble your furniture on the spot.

Choose Between the Partial and Full Packing Service

If you wish, you can hire our long-distance moving company to also pack your entire house or only the items you specify with our additional packing service. Aside from furniture and appliances, our team of professionals will pack other items on your inventory list. They will bring their own packing supplies such as boxes, bubble wrap, paper, and blankets. You will get a team of trained professionals who know how to deal with and protect all kinds of items. And best of all, they can do this in no time.

Depending on the size of your household, this additional service will be listed as a partial or full packing service. The former includes the packing of items that can fit into 15 or fewer standard-sized boxes. If you want us to pack more than 15 boxes or the entire household, you will need the full service.

Ship Your Car With Us

When planning the move to New York City, you might think you won’t need a vehicle to get around. But if you are relocating to Queens, you will definitely need your car because commuting to work will be much easier that way. Well, Cross Country Movers have got you covered with this as well. We can arrange car shipping services for all of our customers. What’s more, you can choose between two types of transportation options – open and enclosed trailers.

An open trailer is the most commonly used option, and it is much faster than the enclosed one. Still, your vehicle will be exposed to outside factors and may get dirtied by road debris, rain, or snow. But this rarely results in any damage, and we include car insurance of up to $100,000 for any external damage with this trailer. On the other hand, an enclosed trailer is a better option if you wish to keep a more luxurious vehicle safe. The car will be fully protected from any outside factors, and if some damage does happen (although this is very unlikely), you will be reimbursed with up to $500,000.

There Are Two Ways Our Movers Can Deliver the Car to You

Another great choice we offer as part of our car shipping is between two types of pick up and delivery options. You can choose between door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal pick-up and delivery. We will come to your house, pick up your car, and deliver it the same way at your new house with the door-to-door option. With the terminal-to-terminal option, you will be required to leave your car at the nearest terminal and pick it up from another one in NYC.

If Needed, You Can Use Our Storage Units for Free

When moving across the country, you always need a plan B in case something unpredictable happens. And we all know that many things can interfere with your plans. Maybe your house is not move-in ready yet. For this reason, we decided to help our customers by offering free of charge storage units for a whole month. We have top-notch storage facilities that are climate-controlled, so no moisture or humidity will damage your belongings. All storage units are equipped with video surveillance systems and security guards. On top of that, we will make sure none of your belongings end up in someone else’s possession by labeling each item with barcode stickers that contain all the necessary information about your move.

With Our Moving Insurance, You Will Have a Safe Transition

Moving cross country with a team of professionals means you will get moving insurance no matter the kind of contract or how high your quote is. All our customers who hire us will get Mandatory Liability Coverage. This means that all of the loaded items on our truck will be covered. And if anything happens to them, you will get 60 cents per pound of damaged goods.

We understand that this kind of insurance may not be good enough for some people. This is why we also provide Full Value Replacement Insurance (FVRI). With some extra cash on your final quote, you can protect your items even more. FVRI means that, if an item gets damaged, our company will do whatever it can to fix it or replace it, and if none of those options are available, we will give you reimbursement in its full market value.

Queens Is a Mecca of Diversity, and It Is the Largest of the Five Boroughs

Even though Brooklyn is New York’s most populous borough, Queens is the largest one by area. Despite the NY housing prices skyrocketing and making life there comfortable only for wealthy people, Queens still remains the international hub for immigrants and people from all over the world. More languages are spoken here than anywhere else in the country.

And you can see the influence of many ethnicities on this borough’s diverse cuisine and restaurants. From Greek and Italian to Thai restaurants, one thing is certain – here, you will eat affordable, world-class, and fresh food. This NYC borough has terrific street food, where many immigrants have brought their authentic recipes from home, making this part of NYC a true mecca for food lovers.

It is also one of the safest boroughs, making it excellent for families. If you decide to move here with kids, they will get a chance to be part of one of the best educational systems nationwide. Highly-rated schools like Central Queens Academy Charter School, Maspeth High School, Martin Luther School, and The Windsor School are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to your kids’ education.

Plenty of Affordable Housing Options Make This Borough So Appealing to Families

Aside from the fact that this is the largest borough, it is one of the most affordable ones. Here, families can choose to buy everything from condos to townhomes at a reasonable price. The median home value is $545,000, which is half of the price you would pay in Manhattan. If you wish to rent a one-bedroom apartment, you will pay somewhere between $1,900 to $2,200, depending on the neighborhood you choose to live in.

But the rent is not the only thing that is cheaper here. Utilities, food, and other amenities are also way lower here than in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Low expenses are probably the biggest reason so many young professionals and new business owners are settling here. You will easily find a job in the borough boundaries, but its proximity to the economic core of NYC is also one of the great upsides of living here.

Especially if you buy a home in Astoria, Long Island City, or Jackson Heights, commuting to Midtown will be easy by subway. You can also drive. It will take approximately 20 minutes from Astoria to Midtown Manhattan by car.

Take a look at five top-rated neighborhoods for families:

• Forest Hills
• Kew Gardens
• Little Neck
• Long Island city
• Hollis Hills

There Are Numerous Things You Can See in This NYC Borough

If you love food, then you will love this NY borough. Just take a trip to Flushing Chinatown. Here, you will find Chinese and Southeast Asian restaurants offering some of the world’s best dishes. While you are there, visit New World Mall that features one of the biggest Asian markets, as well as 108 smaller shops where you can buy everything from spices to food. Here, you will find the best Dim Sum restaurant in the area. But as we mentioned, this borough is all about diversity, so you will easily find cuisines from all over the world.

And if you are into art and museums, forget about Manhattan or Brooklyn.
