Living in NYC comes with its own set of unique experiences. Among them is living in a high-rise apartment or condo complex. The breathtaking views of life in (or even above) the clouds make high-rise living a dream, but when it comes time to relocate, maneuvering can be, well, a tad overwhelming. But for every problem comes a solution, and who better to guide you through the urban maze of NYC relocations than the masters themselves? Whether you’re taking on your next move alone or want some assistance from the pros, Shleppers is here to help. Here are some of our best tips for your next move:
Size Matters
NYC apartments are charming, no doubt. But sometimes, they can be a game of Tetris. Before your big move, measure every nook and cranny of your new space. It’s essential to know what fits and what might need to be left behind. That magnificent L-shaped couch or the four-poster bed might need some rethinking. And remember, when in doubt, vertical storage is your friend in NYC. Just like your high-rise apartment, think up, not out!
Beware of Building Rules
Each NYC building comes with its own set of quirks. Some might have specific moving hours; others might require you to schedule a move-in time. Always get familiar with your building’s rules. It can save you a headache (and maybe a side-eye from the concierge). Once you’re caught up on the low-down of your new home, schedule your move with Shleppers. With over 40 years of dancing through NYC’s alleys and elevators, we know a thing or two about the ins and outs of high-rises. So, while you focus on your new view, let them handle the stairwells and service elevators.
Pack Smart
Life in the city requires city smarts, and packing for a move is no exception. Packing lightly and efficiently will save you time, money, and effort. Ditch those sprawling boxes and opt for manageable, easy-to-carry ones. Clear bins can be useful in helping you spot items without having to rummage through them. When it comes to heavier items, consider using suitcases. Not only do they have wheels, but they’re also built to handle weight. Lastly, don’t forget to label. With the hustle and bustle of NYC life, you’ll thank yourself for those clearly marked boxes when you’re searching for your favorite mug on the first morning in your new home.
