As New Jersey continues to lead national trends in outbound migration, a local moving staple is hitting a digital milestone that highlights just how many residents are trading the Garden State for the Sun Belt and beyond.
Unwind Moving, headquartered in Ridgefield Park, recently announced that it is rapidly approaching 500 verified Google reviews. The landmark comes as the company reports a massive spike in long-distance bookings, fueled by New Jerseyans relocating to Florida, Texas and California.
While New Jersey offers world-class schools and proximity to major hubs, rising costs of living and the flexibility of remote work are driving a steady stream of residents toward more affordable corridors. According to Unwind Moving’s internal data, the highest volume of outbound “high-stakes” moves from New Jersey currently targets:
- Florida: The No.1 destination, specifically Miami, Orlando and Tampa.
- Texas: Significant professional relocation to Dallas, Houston and Austin.
- The Midwest & Beyond: Growing demand for Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio as well as the greater Boston area.
To meet this demand, the company recently completed an ambitious 49-state route expansion, launching dedicated service corridors for every major interstate destination in the continental U.S.
In an industry often plagued by “brokers” who sell jobs to third-party carriers—leading to lost items and hidden fees—Unwind Moving has built its reputation on a non-brokered, in-house model.
“Long-distance moves are high-stakes—your belongings are on a truck for hundreds or thousands of miles,” said Sebastian Tabares, founder and owner of Unwind Moving. “On a long-distance move, not knowing where your stuff is—that’s the worst feeling. We make sure that never happens.”
By using dedicated crews and direct dispatcher communication from the Ridgefield Park home base to the final destination, the company has maintained a near-perfect rating across its 453 (and counting) reviews.
The company is on track to hit the 500-review threshold by the summer of 2026. This benchmark would place the Ridgefield Park-based firm among the most-reviewed and highest-rated interstate moving companies in the entire state of New Jersey.
For families still in the planning stages of a “Jersey Exit,” the company offers a complete overview of its 49 available state routes and transparent pricing models at its Ridgefield Park offices or via their digital portal.
