How long does it take to move from Minnesota to New York?

The timeline depends on where you’re starting in Minnesota and where you’re heading in New York. For example, a move from Minneapolis to New York City usually takes around 3 to 5 days of transit. If you’re heading to Albany or Buffalo, it may take a day less, while a long-haul delivery from northern Minnesota to upstate New York might take closer to a week. Our delivery windows are always based on your moving date, route, and whether storage or split deliveries are needed.

How much will my move from Minnesota to New York cost?

Pricing is tailored to each move, but most customers spend between $3,900 and $7,800. Your final quote depends on home size, distance, and specialty items. For instance, moving a one-bedroom apartment from Rochester, MN to Rochester, NY will be much less than transporting a five-bedroom household with pianos, safes, and vehicles from Duluth to Manhattan. Star Van Lines provides flat-rate pricing, so you’ll never face surprise fees.

What makes moving from Minnesota to New York different from other relocations?

This route combines a Midwestern lifestyle shift with East Coast energy. Minnesota offers space, lakes, and a more relaxed pace, while New York is famous for its fast-moving lifestyle, cultural diversity, and career opportunities. Many families move for jobs in finance, healthcare, or education, while students often relocate for universities like Cornell, Columbia, and NYU. Climate is also a factor—you’ll still have cold winters, but depending on your location in New York, you may trade long Minnesota snowfalls for milder Hudson Valley or coastal weather.

Can you move bulky or fragile items from Minnesota to New York?

Absolutely. Our crews specialize in handling items like:

  • Grand and upright pianos
  • Gun safes and vaults
  • Pool tables and large gym equipment
  • Artwork, antiques, and wine collections
  • Boats, ATVs, and snowmobiles (common in Minnesota households) We use custom crating, padding, and climate-sensitive protection to make sure your valuables arrive safely in New York.
Do you ship cars as part of the move?

Yes, we provide professional auto transport services. You can choose an open carrier, which is more affordable, or an enclosed trailer, which is perfect for classic or luxury vehicles. Many families moving from Minnesota to New York choose to ship their cars to avoid adding 1,000+ miles to the odometer. Motorcycles, RVs, and boats can also be shipped along with your household items.

How does this move work for corporate and military relocations?

We’ve moved plenty of professionals and military families on this route. Corporate relocations often start in Minneapolis or St. Paul and head to New York City or Albany, where finance, government, and tech jobs are concentrated. For the military, we frequently assist families moving from Camp Ripley in Minnesota to bases like Fort Drum or West Point in New York. These moves are coordinated carefully to match reporting dates and family schedules.

What if I need storage during my move?

Not every New York home is ready on moving day, especially when moving into competitive markets like New York City. That’s why we provide both short-term and long-term storage options in climate-controlled facilities. Whether you need storage for a few weeks while waiting for a closing date, or for several months while renovating, we’ll keep your belongings secure until you’re ready.

Why should I choose Star Van Lines for this relocation?

Because we know this route well. From Minneapolis to NYC, Duluth to Buffalo, and Rochester to Rochester, we’ve handled it all. Customers choose us because we’re fully licensed, insured, and transparent about costs. We also specialize in fragile-item packing, vehicle shipping, and storage services, which makes a complex interstate relocation much easier for families, students, and businesses.
