A few things move the needle on your Union moving cost:
How many rooms / cubic feet — the single biggest driver of your price.
Local moves are priced per volume; long-distance adds mileage and freight.
Full packing, bulky items and storage add to the base transport cost.
In Union Township, a middle-class 2-bedroom home or apartment near Kean University generally runs $2,225–$2,675 for a local move and $4,550–$5,450 long-distance. A larger 3-bedroom colonial, common on the township's residential streets, more often lands at $3,050–$3,650 locally. Because Union blends single-family homes with student and commuter rentals, an accurate estimate depends on your specific layout, floors, and access.
Union's mix of housing types is the main cost driver. A ground-floor apartment near campus loads quickly, while a two-story home with a finished basement adds crew-hours to a local, hourly-billed job. Long-distance pricing shifts to weight and mileage, so the volume in a family home matters more than the address. Union's central spot near the Parkway and Route 22 keeps both local drive time and highway mileage manageable.
