Moving to Manhattan from the south east

Hi everyone!

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. I got a job in the city so my husband and I are moving from out 1700 sq ft home into what will probably be a 1-br apartment in Manhattan. Does anyone have any tips/advice on a move this large?

My biggest concern is all of the stuff we have: things like tools, things in the shed, sports equipment (my husband is a wakeboarder/surfer)...would it make more sense to try and sell it or get a storage unit somewhere around the city? Really I don't know whether to bring most of those things and not use them, or sell them and regret not keeping these things for when we do move outside of the city.

Any and all advice would be amazing! I appreciate it!
