Moving from New York to San Francisco

With picturesque views, cooler summers, diverse architecture and historical landmarks, it’s no wonder why more people are moving to San Francisco. Over the last few years, the city’s population has swelled beyond 880,000 people (still far behind NYC’s population in 2018, which was 8.6 million).

With so much beauty to be discovered, San Francisco is currently the number one most expensive city in the US. For those of you looking to move to this beautiful city, it’s crucial that you allocate your resources appropriately and move to San Francisco with the help of a name you can trust. Adequate preparation for your move will safeguard you and your family from the stressful burden that moving can become when you attempt to do so without the use of NYC’s top-tier professional moving company.

Moving & Mini-Mountains

Depending on how you view cardio exercise, San Francisco is filled with either awe-inspiring hills or steep mini-mountains. Though the light rail and BART system provides some transportation, climbing up and down the hilly terrain of San Francisco will be a way of life.

Moving into San Francisco on your own means maneuvering a moving truck around the city’s crowded and hilly streets, locking your truck after each trip, utilizing service elevators (if your new home has one), and risking your first few days in San Fran stuck in bed because you pulled your back carrying heavy objects up and down steep hills…
