What’s it like to move in SoHo?

Big spaces, old streets. Many SoHo homes are in converted cast-iron loft buildings with large rooms, oversized furniture and art, and freight elevators of every age and size. Some blocks, like parts of Greene and Mercer Streets, are still cobblestone, and weekend shopping crowds fill the sidewalks.

ZIP codes we serve: 10012, 10013.

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

Loft co-ops and managed buildings usually require a COI and a reserved freight elevator, often on weekdays. Some older lofts have manual freight elevators run by building staff. Ask how yours works, reserve your slot, and tell us the time.

Where will the moving truck park?

As close to your door as the street allows. NYC doesn’t issue parking permits for moving trucks, so our crew scouts your block before move day and plans the nearest legal spot or loading zone, taking the cobblestones and narrow streets into account. You’ll never be asked to save a spot.

When is the best time to move in SoHo?

Early on a weekday. Weekend shopping crowds make sidewalks slow and parking scarce. For moves out of the city, an early start also beats the worst of the bridge and tunnel traffic.

Leaving SoHo for the Hudson Valley: a calm moving day

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

SoHo (10012) → Irvington, NY · 3-person crew

The challenge: Emma was leaving SoHo for Irvington in Westchester, a move out of the city that she expected to be one of the most stressful days of the year.

What we did: Her coordinator, Maxwell Tobias, planned the move in detail and delivered exactly what he promised. On the day, the same three-person crew, Jacob, Danny and Ivan, loaded her SoHo apartment, drove north and unloaded in Irvington, working hard and carefully from the first item out to the last one placed.

The result: A calm, productive day instead of a stressful one.

In her words: “For an event that can be among the most stressful, the owner and staff of Serenity Movers made it a calm and productive day.” — Emma R., Google review

Tip for your move: For a move out of the city, ask your mover whether the same crew handles both ends. One team loading in Manhattan and unloading in Westchester means nothing gets lost between handoffs.

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.
• Storage: overnight on the truck, or climate-controlled storage at $0.75 per cubic foot per month when your new home isn’t ready. See Storage Solutions.

How much does it cost to move out of SoHo?

One flat price, confirmed after your video walk-through, and that’s what you pay. No hourly meter, no fuel surcharge, no move-day surprises.

Prices above are for local moves within NYC. Moves from SoHo to Westchester, Long Island, Connecticut or New Jersey are quoted as one flat price based on your inventory and the distance.

Why choose a boutique mover?

We cap our schedule at 15 moves a day and never overbook, so your crew is booked for your move alone. One coordinator handles your move from the first call to the last box, our crew members average more than 20 years with the company, and you get an arrival window plus a call about 30 minutes before the crew arrives.
