When True Love Leads to a New Address: Romance Top Cause of NYC Moves

People have a lot of reasons for packing up everything they own and calling the movers. Career demands and the need to care for family members are the most commonly cited causes of a family move. But the heart will not be denied – a surprisingly high percentage of NYC moves happen because romantic partners want to share the same address.

Love in Every Zip Code

As Valentine’s Day draws near, we were reflecting on the high percentage of moves that happen because people are in love. The majority of these moves are local moves: sometimes one person moves from their place into the other person’s place, which can mean switching neighborhoods, or both people in the relationship find a new place to move in together.

Saving money is a big priority for many couples. “Why pay rent on his place in NoHo and my place in SoHo?” Amber, one half of a couple we recently moved, asked. “Believe me, we have better ways to spend our money, and we’re together all the time anyway.”

New Yorkers are always on the go.
