I just want to thank you all for your replies, it was enjoyable and heartwarming to read and helped me feel better and trust my husband more.
 
Given that your daughter’s peers are going to be scattering soon anyway, your timing is very reasonable.

Make sure and give her extra consideration with regard to the move and her stuff and her room in the new house. (The Toy Story movie mom is one of history’s greatest monsters, in my opinion. What was the big rush? Why did she need to immediately trash/store her son’s toys and convert his room into nothing?)
 
I’ve moved 11 times - with 3 kids and many of those were during teen years. However, since your daughter will have already graduated high school I’m not sure you really have much of an issue. Most kids leave the area, the city, the state after high school. They all go off in different directions to different colleges, the military, etc. Considering she is only going to be an hour away from your old stomping grounds, it’s not really that far and I’m sure she’ll stay in touch with close friends through texting, snapchat, facetime, etc. and they could easily meet up often since they will all only be an hour away. She really should learn to drive though now that you will be out of NYC. This will help her in the future no matter where her life leads her. 🙂
