Unique Aspects of Apartment Moving in NYC and NJ
Apartment moves come with unique challenges, but our experience means every detail is managed efficiently.
Tight Spaces
Our apartment moving team navigates narrow hallways, staircases, and elevators with precision, protecting both your property and belongings.
Building Regulations
We handle elevator reservations, certificates of insurance, and all building requirements for a smooth move.
Packing Challenges

Community Considerations

Shared Spaces
Our professional apartment movers in NYC and NJ take extra care to cover walls, floors, and lobbies with specialized materials, keeping shared spaces in pristine condition.
Building Type Challenges
- Pre-War Buildings: These charming older buildings often feature small elevators, ornate fixtures, and unique architectural elements that require careful navigation. Proper planning for these spaces includes measuring elevators, doorways, and stairwells to determine the best approach for moving larger furniture.
- Walk-Up Apartments: Moving to or from upper-floor walk-ups without elevators requires additional manpower, specialized equipment, and strategic planning. Our team assesses the number of flights, staircase width, and turning radiuses to develop an efficient moving strategy that protects your belongings and the building.
- Luxury High-Rises: These buildings typically enforce strict moving policies, including limited moving hours, required reservations, and specific insurance requirements. Coordinating with building management well in advance is essential for securing elevator time and complying with all building protocols.
- Brownstones: With their narrow staircases, tight hallways, and historic features, brownstones present unique spatial challenges. Careful pre-move planning helps identify potential obstacles and determine if furniture disassembly will be necessary.
- Garden Apartments: These ground-level or basement units often have unique access routes through landscaped areas or shared spaces. Proper preparation includes identifying pathways that provide access while minimizing impact on grounds and neighboring units.
Neighborhood Logistics
Each NYC and NJ neighborhood presents unique logistical considerations.
- Manhattan: High-traffic areas, limited unloading zones, and buildings with strict moving hours require precision scheduling and coordination.
- Brooklyn: From historic brownstones in Park Slope to modern high-rises in Downtown Brooklyn, each area requires different approaches and equipment.
- Queens: Diverse building types, from garden apartments in Forest Hills to new developments in Long Island City demand flexible moving strategies.
- The Bronx: A mix of pre-war buildings and newer developments across neighborhoods like Riverdale and the Grand Concourse require specialized knowledge of building access points.
- Hoboken & Jersey City: Narrow streets, historic buildings, and waterfront high-rises present a range of moving challenges unique to these popular New Jersey communities.
- Newark: From downtown revitalized lofts to the historic homes in Forest Hill, each neighborhood requires specific planning and approach.
With White Glove Moving and Storage, you benefit from our years of experience navigating these complex environments. We anticipate and prepare for the unique aspects of your specific building type and neighborhood to ensure a seamless moving experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Apartment Moving
How early should I schedule my apartment move?
To ensure optimal planning and availability, we recommend scheduling your move 4-6 weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons. We can also accommodate urgent moves while maintaining our high service standards, though availability may be limited during busy periods such as the summer months and month-ends.
What items do apartment moving companies typically not transport?
For your safety and compliance, we don’t transport hazardous materials, perishables, plants, and valuable personal documents. Feel free to reach out to us for any specific questions about what can and can’t be moved.
How can I prepare for my apartment moving day?
While our apartment-to-apartment movers handle the heavy lifting, you can help optimize the day by decluttering in advance. Consider taking photos of electronic setups before disconnecting them and prepare a "first-night" box with essentials you'll need immediately in your new home.
How is the cost of apartment movers calculated?
The cost of apartment moves is based on item volume, required labor, and additional services. For long-distance moves, we offer transparent flat-rate pricing to eliminate unexpected costs. Our specialists will provide a transparent, detailed quote during your initial consultation.
What if my new residence isn't ready and I must move out of the current one?
We offer flexible solutions if your new home isn’t prepared. Our secure storage facilities are available with 24/7 monitoring, and we provide one month of free storage. Once your new home is ready, we will arrange the delivery according to your preferred timing. We also offer partial deliveries so you can access essential items while the rest of your belongings remain safely stored.
How do residential movers ensure furniture fits in my new space?
Our home relocation specialists thoroughly evaluate the space before the move to ensure all furniture and large items fit through doorways, stairs, and elevators. If needed, we offer professional disassembly and reassembly services for challenging pieces.
What steps should I take to update my address?
Start by setting up mail forwarding through the postal service. Then, update your address with essential services such as financial institutions, utility providers, and healthcare services to avoid interruptions. Be sure to notify your employer and subscription services, and share your new address with friends and family.
How long does a typical apartment move take?
Local moves typically take one day, including packing and setup. We’ll provide you with a detailed timeline for residential moving services involving longer distances during your consultation. Several factors can affect timing, such as the size of your home, the number of items, building access restrictions, and distance. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process to ensure everything runs smoothly.
