Moving to Union County, NJ

Union County is a historical county located in the New York metropolitan area. It sits in the northeastern corner of New Jersey, bordering Staten Island, NY, to the East and the New Jersey counties of Hudson, Essex, Morris, Somerset, and Middlesex. This eastern seaboard county is known for its traditional New England towns and many green spaces.

About 558,000 people call Union County home, which makes it one of the most populated counties in New Jersey. As families and young professionals experience the county’s popular cities and towns, that population continues to grow. The most populated towns in Union County are Elizabeth, Union, Plainfield, Linden, Westfield, Rahway, Scotch Plains, Cranford, Summit, and Hillside.

As with any move, moving to Union County, NJ can be exciting and stressful. There are countless things that you need to take care of before you can settle into your new home. It can be overwhelming. Use this guide to ease stress and help prepare yourself for life in this beautiful county.

Update Your Address

When you move to a new town or county, update your address as soon as possible. You might think that this small detail can be pushed off until well after you settle into your home, but when issues arise with your bills, mail, and other services, you may regret holding off.

Plan to take a few hours to complete your address changes in one hit immediately before or after the move. The process for changing your address is different at every business or organization, so check the protocol for every organization. You might be able to complete the address change online or talk to a customer service representative on the phone, or some businesses might require you to visit a local branch of the business to officially change your address.

You should also update your address with your local:

  • Banks
  • Loan providers
  • Utility service providers
  • Subscription services
  • Insurance
  • Office payroll department
  • Social Security Administration
  • IRS
  • Pharmacy prescriptions

Find New Utility Services

Save yourself some stress by setting up your new utility services before moving into your Union County home. It’s a nuisance to show up to your new home and not have water, electricity, or Wi-Fi. Call your service providers at least a week before the move, because it may take a few days to set up your account and services. Be prepared to tell them what day they should start the services.

Your home utilities include your water, sewer, gas, electric, internet, cable TV, and security systems. Some utilities, such as water and sewer, are provided by one sole company for everyone in the city. But, for utilities such as internet and cable TV, there are a handful of options to choose from. You might want to ask your realtor, the previous homeowner, your property management company, or the homeowner’s association about which utility companies they recommend.

To set up some of your new services, a technician may need to visit your new home. You might also want to have an electrician drop by your home to do a walkthrough and energy audit. They will be able to spot any electrical hazards and bring your attention to faulty wiring that needs repair. They can also spot places where you are leaking energy.

As you set up your new services, don’t forget to cancel your existing services. Check your account to search for any outstanding payments, then pay off your balances. You should contact your utility companies to have a technician do a final reading of your water, gas, and electric meters at your current residence. Keep a copy of the report.

Make a List of Vendors

Emergencies happen. You might need to call a plumber to fix a broken pipe or schedule a dentist appointment for a dental emergency. During these moments, it’s best to have a list on hand so you know who to call. Compile a list of vendors in your area soon after you move. You will likely expand on it over time.

Register Kids for School

No matter what time of year you plan to move, you will need to register your kids for school.

Determine what public school boundaries your new home is in, or choose from numerous private school options.

There are several public school districts in Union County, NJ. For a full list, visit https://www.k12academics.com/national-directories/school-district/New%20Jersey/Union

Prepare Your Pets

Don’t forget to prepare your pets for move-in day. Ask your current veterinarian to send over your pet’s medical records so you can easily deliver them to your new vet. If your pet is currently taking any medications, collect them before the move. You should also update your pet’s ID tags with your new Union County address shortly after you move.

Moving can be very stressful for everyone, including pets. For that reason, some families choose to board their pets at a particular juncture of the moving process. You’ll want to choose a boarding facility and call ahead to ensure they can get your pet in during that time. You should also search for a new vet shortly after your move. You’ll want to know who to call in case of a pet emergency.

First leg of the move was amazing! Ralph who visited the house to give the estimate, Mike and Darwin in sales and Stone and team who moved my belongings to storage were amazing. I was practically on the phone with Mike or Darwin everyday. They were very patient with my questions, changes, arrangements for my paintings. I will post another review once I get my belongings out of storage and move them to LA.

If you need to move? This company should be your 1st & only call! From the initial consultation with Frank in the office to the actual move day with Julio & his team was extremely seamless, stress free and the most professional & efficient display of team work I have witnessed utilizing a moving service! White Glove knows what they are doing, no complaints about the pricing whatsoever! They did not scratch, dent or damage any of our possessions & helped us pack! I could go on & on about them and what they did right! Stay away from uninsured amateurs and get the right people for the job! “You get what you pay for..” rings completely true here! Thank you again Frank & Julio! We are forever grateful!

We had a FANTASTIC moving experience. Everyone I talk to has said they have never heard of a move so well done. We had a fantastic team of movers and they were so helpful the entire day. They worked quickly and took great care of all our items. They even made sure we had a chance to look at all furniture to advise on placement and were happy to adjust as needed. Overall, we had a great experience working with White Glove. Even the lead up was very easy - the representative we received the quote through was always available to answer questions and help us modify the quote. Thanks to the whole team!

We chose White Glove Moving and Storage as a recommendation from a friend. My first experience was with Chris and he was very pleasant and informative. He made it easy to arrange my move and followed up promptly to every additional question... They allowed my to move my date and were pleasant when I did so. They showed up on time and were efficient and professional. They took everything apart and wrapped everything perfectly so there was no damage.. They were patient with me when I wanted to hold them up to put felt on the furniture as it arrived. They worked hard and did not waste any time. There were no surprises at the end when it was time to pay my bill. Everything was as they said it would be. Overall I am very happy with White Glove Moving and Storage and would use them again!!

I highly recommend White Glove! This is our second time using them and the service is exceptional. Everything is wrapped and well cared for. They are reliable. Oscar and his crew were very patient. We had too move some furniture around from the original place and they did it with no problems. Moving is stressful enough, higher a great company.
They provided excellent service, arrived in the time they said they would and handled everything with care. Will gladly use again.

White Glove made my move extremely easy and convenient. They're leading the way in moving in NJ and it's very clear from the initial phone call coordinating an estimate that they know exactly how to move any item from your house or apartment. Easy, efficient, and careful with all items and aspects of the move. Would absolutely recommend using this company if you have an upcoming move around the area.

I rarely post a review but I want others to know of the amazing experience I had with White Glove Movers. They were professional, quick and most of all thorough. We did a detailed walk through before and after and the team didn’t miss a thing. I also appreciated the follow-up call to check on my experience.

I used White Glove for multiple moves and storage. Whether it was moving from my house to my apartment, moving items to storage, or a long distance move from NJ to SC, they were professional, courteous, and highly supportive. I highly recommend their services whether small or large.
I was very satisfied with White Glove from start to finish- from dropping off boxes in advance of my move, to the day of the move, to help make what is typically a stressful process, as seamless as possible. I highly recommend.

White Glove provides flawless service from start to finish. White Glove even made the packing process easier by dropping off boxes and tape after I reserved my date. Marton and his moving team were beyond fantastic. They treated all my belongings with such care, wrapping all my furniture precisely, and communicating consistently with my partner and I so everything ended up in the correct rooms. I truly could not recommend White Glove highly enough. Their service is absolutely worth the money.

The entire experience was a pleasure from start to finish, with the project manager taking his time to understand the needs of the move. He didn't try to rush me, and at times Frank even pointed out certain things I could have been missing.The crew itself was extremely professional and efficient. They took their time walking through the apartment both, before packing and before unpacking.At the back-end, they did not leave till I was satisfied with everything.I'd definitely recommend them to anyone else who is looking to move.

White Glove did a fantastic job moving us back from our rental to our newly renovated home. We used a different company to move out & I was so worried to move again after that experience BUT White Glove and our crew eased my mind. The crew was professional, quick, organized & respectful. They did a great job and I am so happy that I decided to give White Glove a chance.
The team that did our move was fantastic ! They made everything feel easy on that stressful day for us. Emad and Ezazat were super helpful and very efficient. Definitely recommend to use White Glove for any move !!! FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From the first call I was impressed with the attention I got from Mike my salesman. This was followed by Lukas working with me on estimate to make sure I had all the information tto make an informed decision about needing 1 or 2 trucks since I was moving staff from 2 locations. Then the moving day came. The movers came on time, they introduced themself and Marton ( the leader of the crew)walked with me around to make sure they know what exacly to pack, explained to me the wrapping process and taking some of my furniture apart. I was very happy with White Glove services and would recommend them to anyone.

Everything about our experience with White Glove moving was exceptional. From the initial estimate to the final move day. They were extremely communicative throughout the process and our moving crew on the big day were kind, careful, and efficient. 10/10!
This was the first time my husband and I ever used a moving company and we were so happy that we chose White Glove. Every step of the way was nothing but professional. We were able to set up an appointment for someone to come to our home (we were local) and give us an estimate. Many places we called did not offer this as an option. Rick was on time, upfront about prices and had a quote for us the next day. Moving day was phenomenal. Jonathan and his crew were amazing. They were professional, efficient, and friendly. Moving is always a difficult process but these guys made it so much easier. Worth every penny! Highly recommend.
