Moving you from NYC to any location in Los Angeles, without subcontractors
If you ever read moving company reviews, you could notice that #1 reason why people experience issues when moving long distance is that their moving company outsources the delivery to other transportation companies and therefore loses control over the stuff.
In a situation like that the moving company can’t know where the stuff is and when exactly it will be delivered.
That is why at Roadway Moving we have our own trailers and we do not outsource delivery to others.
We can move you directly from NYC to any part of Los Angeles and you can rest assured that your stuff will be GPS tracked during the whole move and delivered on time.

6 things to know when moving to LA from NYC
Even though these two cities have had a battle over which one is better for decades now, you can see they are far more similar than what most people think, yet they have drastically different values. With Los Angeles being one of the biggest entertainment industries in the world, their lifestyle is pretty much that: show business. They are very appearance-conscious, care about health, and have a slower pace of life than New Yorkers.
The diversity of New Yorkers can be traced to the various languages spoken in the metropolitan areas, which creates a perfect blend of cultures. At the same time, Los Angeles has a decent selection of arts, museums, and cultural exhibitions.
The question is which suits you better, do you need more freedom, an easier getting around system, a healthier and cheaper lifestyle, or even your own Hollywood Walk of Fame star? If this is what you’re looking for, The City of Angels might be the answer.

Cost of living
Being 20% below the national average and still the fastest-growing state, Texas is setting some records. Along with having a significantly lower cost of living, the home of the Mavericks can save you some large amounts of money on taxes. This also got Apple’s and Google’s attention, making them move here next to some big company names like AT&T and American Airlines, which helped Texas rank as one of the fastest-growing economies.
Housing
Housing also makes a massive difference in these two states, with home prices in Texas being nearly 60% lower than in California. Overall average home value in California is around $750,000. It has increased by 20% in 2022 when compared to 2021, while Texas holds an average of $280,000. The rent for an apartment goes up to $2,000, while the average cost in Texas is around $1,000.
In general, mortgages and home costs are much lower in Texas. For example, the average home price in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area is 45% lower than in Los Angeles.
Job opportunities
The best state for business, as we said, has a thriving economy that attracts new companies and some more prominent names in the game. Without income taxes, this might be the best place to live in.
