Long Island Movers
Moving on Long Island is a different kind of project than moving in the city — bigger homes, more square footage, and a lot more to carry from the attic, garage, and basement. At Art of Living Moving & Storage, our crews know Long Island inside and out, from the tree-lined streets of Nassau County to the far reaches of Suffolk and the East End. Whether you’re upsizing to a family home in Garden City, downsizing in Huntington, or relocating your whole household out of Manhattan, we’ll take care of everything so you can focus on settling in.
We’ve built our reputation on careful handling, honest pricing, and showing up on time. Long Island moves come with their own quirks — long driveways, narrow older staircases, oversized furniture, and tight closing-day timelines — and our team plans for every one of them. The result is a move that feels organized instead of overwhelming.

What Sets Our Long Island Movers Apart
Plenty of companies can load a truck. What makes a move actually go well is preparation, communication, and pricing you can trust from the first estimate to the last box.
- Real Long Island know-how — we understand suburban homes, gated communities, co-ops, and the LIE at rush hour
- Flat-rate or hourly pricing — pick whatever fits your move, with no hidden fees and no end-of-day surprises
- Storage when timelines don’t match — ideal for the gap between selling one home and closing on the next
- Certificate of Insurance (COI) included — ready for co-ops, condos, and managed communities that require it
- Licensed, insured, and trained crews — your home and belongings stay protected
- On-time, tidy, and respectful — clean trucks, floor protection, and careful workmanship
We treat every home like it matters, because to you it does.
From City Apartment to Island Home: Moving Between NYC and Long Island
One of the moves we’re asked about most is leaving New York City for more space on Long Island. It’s an exciting step — and it comes with a few logistics that catch people off guard. Coordinating a walk-up in Brooklyn or a high-rise in Manhattan on one end and a suburban house on the other takes a crew that’s comfortable in both worlds.
We handle the entire move as a single job: reserving the building elevator and preparing a COI on the city side, navigating the bridges and the Long Island Expressway, and unloading efficiently into a home with stairs, multiple rooms, and a garage. Whatever route your belongings take, we make the jump from apartment life to island living feel effortless.
Moving to the Hamptons & the East End
Long Island’s East End is a world of its own, and moves out to Southampton, East Hampton, Montauk, and the surrounding villages call for extra care. Seasonal relocations, second homes, and high-value furnishings are all part of the territory. Our team is experienced with delicate antiques, artwork, and designer pieces, and we plan around the longer drives and seasonal traffic that come with the Hamptons.
Whether you’re opening a summer home, moving in year-round, or shuttling belongings between a city apartment and the beach, we handle every item with white-glove attention and the same transparent pricing we offer everywhere else.

Smart Moving Tips for Long Island Homes
A house move rewards a little extra planning. A few things that make moving day go smoothly:
- Start with the garage, attic, and basement — these hide the most, so sort and declutter early
- Measure large furniture and doorways, especially in older homes with tight staircases
- Clear the driveway so the truck can park close and shorten the carry
- Plan for closing-day timing — if you’re selling and buying at once, storage can bridge the gap
- Protect floors and stairs — we bring coverings, but clear pathways help everything move faster
