Elizabeth sits about 1,411 miles north of Key West, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to New Jersey that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $6,120 to $9,110 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 25 hours (3 driving days).
On the Key West side there are 7 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (2 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,447 around Elizabeth (881 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Elizabeth.
Key West has a population of about 25,000 and Elizabeth about 141,675. Elizabeth is the denser city (11,162 people per square mile versus 4,723 in Key West), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Florida, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that New Jersey does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
