WHAT TO EXPECT MOVING IN GOWANUS:
Gowanus buildings include industrial loft conversions along the canal, pre-war walk-ups on the residential side streets, and new condo buildings near the F and G train stations on Smith Street. Each building type has different access requirements – loft conversions may have loading dock access while new condos have formal freight elevator systems.
BUILDING TYPES AND ELEVATOR ACCESS:
Industrial Gowanus loft buildings often have large freight elevators inherited from their commercial past. New condos on Smith Street and Union Street have modern freight elevator booking systems. Walk-up buildings on the residential blocks have standard stairwell access.
PARKING AND TRUCK ACCESS:
Gowanus has good truck access compared to most of Brooklyn – wide industrial streets along the canal and relatively low pedestrian traffic. 3rd Avenue and Smith Street are the main corridors.
CREW TIPS FOR GOWANUS MOVES:
Gowanus industrial loft buildings sometimes have designated loading hours tied to former commercial tenants – confirm with your building super whether there are any time restrictions on freight access. Serenity Movers handles this research during the booking process.
