Why people move from Brooklyn to Jersey City

- Apartment size and both buildings' access — the standard local drivers

What a Brooklyn to Jersey City move involves
- Crossing the Hudson makes it interstate on paper (USDOT rules) — use a mover that runs NY↔NJ weekly
- COI on BOTH ends is the norm: Brooklyn building + JC high-rise
- Holland Tunnel routing with tolls built into the flat rate
Timing & seasonality
1st-of-month pressure applies on both sides of the river; mid-month moves are smoother.
