What’s it like to move in the West Village?

Charming, and tight. The West Village’s winding streets are lined with townhouses, walk-ups and small pre-war buildings, many with narrow staircases and no elevator. Streets are narrow and often one-way, so truck positioning and carrying distance shape the plan more than in most of Manhattan.

ZIP code we serve: 10014.

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

Small walk-ups and townhouses rarely require paperwork, but managed buildings and condos usually need a COI and a reserved elevator or move window. Check with your landlord or managing agent early; if there’s an elevator slot, reserve it 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, and West Village streets are narrow and winding, so our crew scouts your block in advance and plans the nearest legal spot or open curb, sometimes around the corner. You’ll never be asked to save a spot.

When is the best time to move in the West Village?

Early on a weekday. Weekend foot traffic and restaurant deliveries make many blocks slow by midday. Mid-month dates are the easiest to book.

One West Village apartment, three destinations: new home, storage and disposal

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

The challenge: Jessica’s move wasn’t one job but three. Her apartment needed to be packed, some pieces went into storage, and others had to be disposed of. As her plans evolved, the list of what went where kept changing.

What we did: Her coordinator, Maxwell, kept up with every change and confirmed each version of the plan quickly, so nothing was lost between updates. On move day, the crew arrived early, walked through the apartment to confirm what was going where, and started packing right on time.

The result: Every item reached the right destination, and Jessica described the whole process as easier than she expected.

In her words: “Through this process Maxwell was always communicative and quick with his response. He was clear and happy to accommodate our changes.” — Jessica H., Google review

Tip for your move: If some items are going to storage and others are being thrown out, label them by destination before move day, even with colored tape. It makes the walk-through faster and the plan easier to change.

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.
• Storage: overnight on the truck, or climate-controlled storage at $0.75 per cubic foot per month. See Storage Solutions.
• Furniture disposal: we haul away the pieces you’re not taking. See Furniture Disposal.

How much does it cost to move in the West Village?

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.

In the West Village, the biggest price factors are walk-up stairs, long carries to the nearest legal parking spot, and any storage or disposal you add.

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.

West Village moving FAQs

Can you move some items to storage and the rest to my new home?

Yes, in the same move. We label and inventory what goes to storage, deliver the rest to your new home, and bring the stored items back when you’re ready.

Can you take away furniture I’m not keeping?

Yes. Our Furniture Disposal service removes unwanted pieces on move day, so you don’t have to arrange a separate pickup.

What if my plans change before move day?

Tell your coordinator. We update the plan and your flat price before move day, so the crew arrives with the latest version.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancel 72 or more hours before move day for a full deposit refund. Rescheduling is free with 48 hours’ notice, subject to availability.
