Things You Should Know About Moving to Brooklyn, New York
When moving to any new city, especially a huge city like New York City, it’s important that you know what to expect upon moving there. When it comes to moving to Brooklyn, you need to have a good grasp of what amenities are offered, what the best neighborhoods to live in are, and what the job opportunities are like. These are crucial factors to consider before making your final decision. With a population of 2,648,403 people as of 2020’s population estimates, Brooklyn is New York City’s most populous borough. So why do so many people choose to live there? Let’s find out.
One of the best reasons for moving to Brooklyn is found in the public transportation options available. The subway is the fastest and most popular way to get around in the city because it is reliable and efficient. The NYC subway is famous for good reason: for just $2.75 you can get anywhere you want to go in the city, at any time. This eliminates the need for a car when moving to Brooklyn, saving you a boatload of money on gas and car insurance in the process. If you want to save money on transportation while still being able to get from point A to point B in no time flat, Brooklyn is one of the best places to live in the country.
Another reason you should consider moving to Brooklyn is found in the fact that the area is a true melting pot. This is well-represented by the countless ethnic cuisines offered throughout the borough for you to enjoy. A few local favorites include Jamaican jerk chicken in Crown Heights, dim sum in Sunset Park, and baklava in Sheepshead Bay. Anything you have a craving for can be found nearby in Brooklyn, as well as some new dishes that you probably hadn’t even thought of to try! Further, new restaurants are constantly popping up in Brooklyn, making the places to try endless. If you consider yourself a foodie, you’ll love living in Brooklyn where great food is right at your doorstep.
Although Brooklyn is located in bustling New York City, it isn’t hard to find green spaces to enjoy. One of the things people love most about moving to Brooklyn is the abundance of parks to spend time in. A few favorites include Prospect Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Green-Wood Cemetery, Brighton Beach, and Coney Island. Each of these nearby hotspots offer plenty of chances to enjoy the great outdoors, complete with the boardwalk, beach, and acres of beautiful green spaces. While you may live in the concrete jungle upon moving to Brooklyn, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to get outside and enjoy nature.
Finally, with so many things to do in Brooklyn, shopping is a favorite of residents. Further, there are an endless amount of shopping destinations to explore. With everything from high-end designer shops to thrift stores, Brooklyn is a shopper’s dream. A few popular shopping destinations in Brooklyn include Fulton Mall, City Point, Atlantic Terminal, and the various Brooklyn boutiques. Although you’ll have to shop smart to stay within your budget, Brooklyn offers plenty of opportunities to splurge.
Some of the most popular neighborhoods in Brooklyn include Williamsburg, Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Each of these neighborhoods has something unique to offer residents and tourists alike. You’ll find the perfect neighborhood for you and your family upon moving to Brooklyn.

Moving Tips
Now that you know more about what separates Poseidon Moving and Storage from just any moving company, we have a little more information to offer you. When moving to Brooklyn, you need to keep a few useful moving tips in mind. We feel it is our responsibility to make your move a smoother experience in every possible way. Here are a couple of things we want you to keep
in mind as you prepare for your move to Brooklyn!
The first moving tip that we have to offer you involves starting to pack well in-advance of moving day. It is important, for example, that you start collecting moving boxes up to a month in advance of your move. You’ll need a lot of boxes to pack all of your household belongings so be sure to check your local supermarket for moving boxes the next time that you shop. Soon, you’ll
have more than enough boxes for your move. Once you’re ready, go through each room in your home and decide what you’d like to keep and what you’d like to get rid of. You should also remember that Brooklyn has plenty of shops to buy new items you’ll need so don’t worry about keeping absolutely everything!
Secondly, up to ten days before moving day, we highly recommend contacting your chosen moving company to reconfirm arrangements if you elect to hire a moving company. After that, start packing your suitcases and leave enough clothes and shoes to wear for the remaining days in your home and pack away the clothes you don’t need. Further, take the time to toss out any clothes you don’t need anymore. This will save you a lot of trouble when packing. Want to save even more time when packing? Book with Poseidon Moving and Storage! We’ll have your entire home packed and ready to go in just a few short hours guaranteed! Good luck!
