Philadelphia to Millburn, NJ Movers | Interstate Moving
Planning a move from Philadelphia to Millburn, New Jersey? LiteMovers handles interstate relocations between Pennsylvania and Essex County—including Millburn’s prestigious Short Hills section. At roughly 90 miles from Philadelphia, crossing the state line makes this a federally regulated interstate move. We manage the logistics, protection, and timing these high-value relocations require.
As part of the Philadelphia–Camden–Wilmington metro corridor, moves between PA and North Jersey destinations like Millburn fall within our core service area.
Why Families Choose Millburn
Millburn consistently ranks among New Jersey’s most desirable communities—and for good reason. The township offers top-rated schools (Millburn High School regularly places among the state’s best), a charming downtown with walkable dining and shopping, and direct NJ Transit service to Manhattan in under an hour.
The Short Hills section features some of the most valuable residential real estate in the Northeast: estate homes on multi-acre lots, designer interiors, and collections that require white-glove handling. We understand what’s at stake when you’re moving into—or out of—this kind of property.
What Makes Millburn Moves Different
Millburn moves involve larger inventories and higher-value items. We’re not talking about a starter home with IKEA furniture. These relocations typically include custom furniture, artwork, wine cellars, home gyms, and outdoor living spaces. Inventory discipline isn’t optional—it’s essential.
Many Short Hills properties also present access challenges: long driveways, gated entries, landscaping that limits truck positioning, and HOA rules about move timing. We coordinate all of this before move day.
