What’s it like to move in Battery Park City?

Waterfront towers with clear rules. Battery Park City is a planned neighborhood of residential towers along the Hudson, with parks and esplanades instead of busy avenues. Buildings are professionally managed, with set move procedures, loading areas and freight elevator reservations.

ZIP codes we serve: 10280, 10282.

What should I know about my building’s move rules?

Expect a COI requirement, a reserved freight elevator, and a set move window, often weekdays only. Some buildings restrict weekend moves entirely. Check with management before you pick a date, reserve your elevator slot, and tell us the time.

Where will the moving truck park?

At your building’s loading area when it has one, otherwise as close as the street allows. NYC doesn’t issue parking permits for moving trucks, and many BPC streets are quiet residential loops, so our crew confirms the approach with building management before move day. You’ll never be asked to save a spot.

When is the best time to move in Battery Park City?

Whenever your building allows, which usually means a weekday. Reserve your freight elevator slot first, then book your movers for that date. For moves from out of state, plan the pickup a day ahead.

Philadelphia to Battery Park City, on the building’s schedule

We’ve been moving New Yorkers since 1999. Here’s one of the moves we’re proud of.

The challenge: Regan was moving from Philadelphia into a Battery Park City building that wouldn’t give her the freight elevator on her planned weekend date, so the whole move had to shift.

What we did: Her coordinator, Maxwell, moved the job to the weekday the building would approve, and rescheduled the Philadelphia pickup and the long drive into Lower Manhattan around it. The crew then arrived ready for the building’s freight elevator rules.

The result: A worry-free move on the building’s terms. Regan has trusted us with multiple moves over four years.

In her words: “I’ve used Serenity for 4 years now for multiple moves. Each time they’re professional, efficient, and make my move worry free!” — Regan K., Google review

Tip for your move: Before you pick a moving date, ask your new building whether the freight elevator is available that day. Many Battery Park City buildings limit or block weekend moves.

What’s included in every move?

One flat price covers the full job: every piece of furniture wrapped in moving blankets and stretch wrap, floors and doorways protected, beds and tables taken apart and put back together, and your building’s COI at no charge.

Do you offer packing, piano moving and storage?

Yes, and each is included in the same flat price when you add it.

• Packing: full, partial or just the fragile items. See Packing Services.
• Fine art, antiques and pianos: custom padding, crating and the right equipment. See Delicate Items.
