  1. Moves inside the East Village or to any other borough, usually finished in a single day. Local moving starts from $99 an hour, and the final price is confirmed in a free written quote. We plan the load around your stairs and the curb on your block.

  2. Full home moves out of East Village walk-ups, Alphabet City rentals and newer elevator buildings. We protect stairwells and hallways, wrap every piece of furniture and set up the new place room by room.

  3. Restaurants, shops, studios and small offices fill the East Village. We pack equipment, stock and files, label every box and move you on a schedule that keeps your business running.

  4. Prefer one price up front? Ask for a flat fee quote based on your inventory, the floors at both ends and the distance, so the number stays the same on move day.

  5. Art, antiques and framed pieces get custom crating and careful handling, which matters on the narrow stairs of older East Village buildings.

  6. Between leases or leaving for the summer? We pick up from your East Village apartment, store your things at our Red Hook facility in Brooklyn and deliver them when you are ready.

  7. Leaving the East Village for another state? Our long-distance movers pack, load and drive your shipment to your new home, with storage in between if your dates do not line up.

  8. Studios, shares and family apartments, from fifth-floor walk-ups to doorman buildings. We carry everything up and down the stairs and book the service elevator where there is one.

What East Village Movers Run Into

East Village moves are decided by stairs, timing and the curb more than by distance. Here is what our movers plan for before move day.

Walk-Up Buildings

Most East Village housing is in four to six-story walk-ups with tight stairwells. Tell us your floor and measure large pieces before move day, so we know if anything has to come apart. The loft buildings just west of the Bowery are different again, and our NoHo crew plans freight elevator time there.

The Student Rush

With NYU and Cooper Union nearby, late August, early September and the end of May are the busiest weeks for moves here. Book early if your lease turns over then, or pick a mid-month date for more choice of time slots. Students who move up toward Gramercy Park face the same calendar, so book early if you are moving in Gramercy.

Tight Curbs and Busy Streets

Restaurant deliveries, bike lanes and street seating leave little room for a truck on many blocks. We plan the closest legal spot ahead of time, and commercial trucks are not allowed on the FDR Drive, so moves from Avenue C and D run along the avenues.

Inside the Congestion Relief Zone

The whole East Village sits inside the zone that starts at 60th Street, so a moving truck pays a toll to enter it. Ask about it when you get your quote, so the total you see covers the whole day.

East Village Areas We Move

The East Village covers very different blocks, and each one changes how the move runs.

St. Marks Place and Astor Place

Walk-ups above shops and restaurants, plus newer elevator buildings near Astor Place. Crowded sidewalks make early starts the easiest option. West of the Bowery the blocks get even smaller, and our movers in Nolita work the walk-ups above its boutiques.

Alphabet City

Avenues A through D, with tenement walk-ups, rentals and larger complexes near the East River. Stairs set the pace, so tell us your floor up front.

Tompkins Square and East 10th Street

Brownstones and pre-war buildings around Tompkins Square Park, where tree-lined blocks and narrow curbs call for a careful truck plan. When East Village renters move uptown, our Murray Hill movers handle the doorman buildings around Third Avenue.

Overall, the service helped take some of the pressure out of moving. The team handled our belongings carefully, communicated clearly, and helped us get through an otherwise busy day.

Moving with children and managing all the usual household tasks can be a lot to juggle. Having a moving crew take care of the transportation made the day easier for our family.
I was glad to have help disassembling and moving some of our larger furniture. Handling those pieces ourselves would have taken considerably more time and effort.
