We've had great experiences working with Maxwell and Serenity Movers. Had stuff in storage for about 2 years and just moved up to Rochester NY. The guys that were sub-contracted to move our stuff up there were phenomenal. Shout out to Vlad and his crew. They worked cleanly and expediently (a major accomplishment considering it was about 10 degrees outside and snowy.)

I had another excellent experience with Serenity Movers! (They helped us 4 or 5 times already). They helped us move my 3-bedroom apartment and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The team was fast, professional, and handled everything with care. Great service from start to finish—highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable movers!

Phenomenal! Maxwell and his team made for the easiest moving process I've ever experienced, including graciously accommodating a bit of hectic schedule on my end. The move itself was incredibly efficient and on time. The crew was very friendly and professional and all of my items arrived to my new apartment in perfect condition. I HIGHLY recommend them for your move!

We were referred to Serenity by our realtor who has used them personally for multiple moves. That’s a strong endorsement from a discerning client! They earned that and more--they were phenomenal: on time, professional and so nice! Maxwell, the manager, is amazingly accommodating and adept at handling the stressful moments that come with moves, including rescheduling the date of our move several times, at short notice and without complaint. Serenity’s team moved the contents of our NYC 2 bedroom coop (from a building that has strict requirements for all contractors) to our home in rural CT. They were flawless. All our furniture and art pieces were wrapped perfectly and arrived without any damage whatsoever. The team placed everything exactly where we wanted and couldn’t have been more careful. And they’re reasonable!! We would definitely use them again!! They’re great!!

Serenity made my move as stress free as possible and did it for a great price. The workers were superhuman. I moved from 4th floor walkup to a 5th floor and they handled it no problem.

Fort Greene Moving: What Our Crew Knows

Why Fort Greene Residents Trust Serenity Movers

Fort Greene combines some of Brooklyn's most beautiful historic brownstones with a vibrant cultural scene near BAM and Barclays Center. Serenity Movers uses an AI video walk-through to plan your specific building and locks in a flat guaranteed price before moving day.

WHAT TO EXPECT MOVING IN FORT GREENE:
Fort Greene brownstones on Washington Park, Carlton Avenue, and Willoughby Avenue are typically 3-4 story walk-ups built in the 1870s-1890s. Co-op buildings require COI documentation and advance notification. The neighborhood’s proximity to Barclays Center means some move dates coincide with events that significantly impact street access.

BUILDING TYPES AND ELEVATOR ACCESS:
Fort Greene is predominantly walk-up brownstones with no elevators. Original Victorian staircases vary widely – some are gracious and wide while others are tight. Serenity Movers measures stairwell dimensions during the video walk-through and plans accordingly.

PARKING PERMITS AND TRUCK ACCESS:
Flatbush Avenue near Barclays Center has the highest event-related traffic in Brooklyn. DeKalb Avenue and Atlantic Avenue are also heavily trafficked. The quiet brownstone blocks of Washington Park and Carlton Avenue provide better truck access. Serenity Movers checks the Barclays Center event calendar before scheduling.

CREW TIPS FOR FORT GREENE MOVES:
Fort Greene is close to both Barclays Center and BAM – avoid move dates that coincide with major events at either venue. Serenity Movers checks both event calendars for your move date and recommends Tuesday through Thursday morning moves for the smoothest Fort Greene experience.
