Moving from Yonkers to Lakewood is a short-haul move of roughly 73 road miles, heading south from New York to New Jersey.

Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 58 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,610 and $2,400, before packing or storage.

On the Yonkers side there are 2,152 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,091 of them authorized for interstate work), and 171 around Lakewood (91 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 Lakewood.

Yonkers has a population of about 212,603 and Lakewood about 143,765. Yonkers is considerably denser (11,754 people per square mile versus 5,472), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Yonkers to Lakewood?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $900 to $1,350 for a studio, $1,030 to $1,530 for a one-bedroom, $1,610 to $2,400 for a two-bedroom, $2,430 to $3,610 for a three-bedroom and $3,550 to $5,280 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lakewood from Yonkers?

About 73 road miles (62 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 58 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from New York into New Jersey makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Yonkers to Lakewood?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $220 to $320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,090 to $1,600. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Yonkers–Lakewood corridor.
