$10k from Chicago. Movers, broker fees, etc. I’ll get some back from the deposit, but damn it was more than I thought
That’s way cheaper option because you wont pay last months rent or brokers fee and your deposit will be lower since roommate rent is lower.
I paid about $2k to move from DC to NYC, for a 1 bedroom apartment. Used Roadway Movers - they’re a bit cheaper because they pack multiple people into a single truck. Downside is you might wait a few days for it but it’s worth it. I’d be more worried about costs of apartment. You’ll need first and last months rent, plus security deposit (1-2 months) and probably a brokers fee, which is 15% of the annual apartment fee. I dropped over $7k just on those costs alone. $70k is more than enough salary to live on. You can’t go nuts but I started here at $60k and lived in East Village and was fine with a budget.
I think my moving van from pgh was like 400+ four years ago, including gas and tolls. plus 1500 apt deposit (and another 1500 for broker fees ugh). prob put another 200 into supplies to make my apt immediately livable (cleaning shit, household basics, new rug, etc.)
seeing more and more places without broker fees though, so maybe not quite that bad now, depending on where you live.
70k salary - you had roommates ?
Check unpakt, it gives you quotes from a bunch of different moving companies based on how far you’re moving and how much you’re moving
Thanks everyone! I haven't figured out the living situation quite yet. Considering looking into finding a roommate who already has an apt - does that remove the broker fee? Understand I'll likely repay the old roommate's deposit/etc., but curious if/how that's impacted anyone's costs?
