Suffolk County Movers: Molloy Moving & Storage Serves All of Suffolk
Suffolk County is the outer Long Island county, covering the eastern two-thirds of Long Island from the Nassau County line all the way out to Montauk Point. It is a vast and varied region: the dense inner-Suffolk corridor around Huntington, Smithtown, and Babylon; the mid-island towns along the Long Island Expressway from Hauppauge out through Centereach, Selden, and Patchogue; the North Fork and the Hamptons at the east end; and the barrier-island beach communities running down the south shore.
Molloy Moving & Storage is a Long Island company. We have been headquartered in Old Bethpage since the 1930s, and three generations of Molloys have been moving Suffolk County families and businesses since 1934. Suffolk is our home operating area, and we move families, businesses, and estates in and out of every town in the county on a steady basis.
Our Suffolk County Moving Services
Suffolk’s size and variety create a wide range of moving needs:
- Local moves within Suffolk County. From a Huntington colonial to a Smithtown ranch, from a Patchogue bungalow to a Hamptons estate, from a Riverhead farmhouse to a Montauk cottage. We know the towns, the roads, the beach-house timing, and the local permit requirements.
- Long-distance moves out of Suffolk County or into Suffolk from anywhere in the country.
- Residential moves for single-family homes, townhouses, estate-scale properties, and the Hamptons second-home market. Residential is the dominant Suffolk move type.
- Apartment movers for Suffolk’s apartment and condo inventory in Huntington, Patchogue, Port Jefferson, Riverhead, and the newer transit-oriented developments near LIRR stations.
- Commercial and office moves for Suffolk’s technology corridor (Melville, Hauppauge), healthcare employers (Stony Brook Medicine, Northwell), and professional-services community.
- Packing and unpacking, full-service or partial, with particular care for the fine furnishings and antiques common in the Hamptons and the North Shore estate corridor.
- Senior moving services for retirees downsizing within Suffolk, moving to assisted living, or relocating to Florida and other retirement destinations.
- White glove services for high-value items, art collections, and the kind of estate-scale moves that come up regularly in the Hamptons and on the North Shore.
- Storage. Short-term, long-term, and seasonal (common for the Hamptons second-home market).

Moving In and Out of Suffolk County Homes
Suffolk moves cover a wider logistics range than almost any other Long Island market:
- Single-family homes with driveways. Most Suffolk moves can load and unload from a driveway, which simplifies logistics.
- Estate-scale properties. North Shore towns like Lloyd Harbor, Cold Spring Harbor, Head of the Harbor, and Old Field have estate properties that require larger crews, longer timelines, and specialty packing. We handle the same quality of estate work in the Hamptons.
- Hamptons second-home market. Seasonal openings and closings, between-rental turnarounds, and the specific logistics of moving in and out of beach-town properties during the May-through-September season. We know the schedule and plan the move around it.
- Village-level permit and parking requirements. Many Suffolk villages (particularly in the Hamptons, Sag Harbor, Port Jefferson, Northport, and parts of Huntington) require advance notification or local permits for moving trucks. We handle the paperwork.
- Gated communities. North Shore and Hamptons gated communities require coordination with gate security and property management; we build it into the plan.
- North Fork and South Fork distances. East End moves run meaningfully longer in drive time than inner-Suffolk moves. We plan the crew and timing accordingly.
About Suffolk County
Suffolk County covers 912 square miles, which is nearly twice the size of Nassau County, with roughly 1.5 million residents. The county includes the North Shore towns along the Long Island Sound, the South Shore towns and barrier-island beach communities along the Atlantic, the Pine Barrens and the central Suffolk corridor, the North Fork wine country, and the South Fork and Hamptons beach-and-resort economy.
Major employers and institutions include Stony Brook University and Stony Brook Medicine, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Northwell Health, the professional-services and legal community in Hauppauge, and the technology and biotech corridor along the Long Island Expressway from Melville out through Hauppauge and Ronkonkoma.
The county is also one of the most important agricultural areas in the Northeast, with the North Fork wine region, East End horse country, and significant farm operations across the central and eastern parts of the county.
Why People Move In and Out of Suffolk County
- Space and value. Suffolk offers more house for the dollar than Nassau County, and significantly more than NYC proper. Single-family homes, acreage, waterfront, and estate-scale properties are all available across the county.
- Schools. Suffolk has several of the strongest school districts in the state, including Half Hollow Hills, Harborfields, Northport, Three Village, and Smithtown.
- Beaches and water access. More miles of beach, bay, and sound frontage than Nassau, including some of the most desirable beach communities in the country.
- Hamptons second-home market. Suffolk’s East End draws second-home buyers from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the broader metro, creating a steady seasonal moving pattern.
- Life stage transitions. Families moving out of Nassau for more space, retirees downsizing within Suffolk or heading to Florida, Hamptons second-home buyers, and the standard inbound-and-outbound Long Island patterns we see every week.
- LIRR access. Every major Suffolk town along the north shore and south shore has LIRR access, with commute times ranging from one hour (inner Suffolk) to two-plus hours (East End).
- Industry and employment. Stony Brook Medicine, Brookhaven National Lab, the Melville / Hauppauge technology corridor, and the growing healthcare and biotech footprint all generate steady relocation moves.
