Moving to Downtown Manhattan: What You Need to Know

Moving to Downtown Manhattan is not for the faint of heart. Everything that defines New York City living – high rents, small spaces, and an on-the-go lifestyle – is even more concentrated and intense in Downtown Manhattan. But for those who are determined to call the City home, it’s the only place to be.

If you’re planning a Manhattan move, here’s what you need to know:

Master Level Downsizing Skills Required

Unless you’re incredibly wealthy, your home in Downtown Manhattan is going to be very small. Micro-units average less than 400 square feet, with the smallest home we’ve heard of so far coming in at 90 square feet. Living comfortably in these tiny spaces means eliminating all but absolute essentials from your life. Embrace minimalism and plan on moving only those items you can’t live without.

What happens to all the stuff you can’t fit into your new place? While downsizing advice generally revolves around selling, donating, or trash, that’s not necessarily practical advice here. You may still need or want many of the items you don’t have space for. Rent a storage unit that’s convenient for you to access regularly: it’s your off-site closet that you can use for seasonal clothing, the furniture you’ll want in your next place, non-essential cooking gear, and more.

Get In Shape & Excellent Shoes

Living Downtown means a lot of walking. And we all know New Yorkers have one speed: full speed ahead. Whether you’re strolling down to the bodega for some snacks or are rushing to catch the train, you’re going to be on the go a lot. The fitter you are, the easier this will be. Also? Having shoes that cushion and support your feet can make the difference between a great day and a terrible one.

Small Moves Made Super Simple: Call Shleppers First

Many Downtown Manhattan buildings don’t have elevators. This becomes highly relevant when it’s time to move into your new place. Even if you’ve downsized dramatically, are in great shape, and have the world’s best footwear, carrying everything you own up two, three, or more flights of stairs is really tough. This is especially true if you own things that are heavy or bulky enough to make ascending the stairs difficult. Why put yourself through that heartache? Call New York’s top relocation company, and let us handle the heavy lifting for you!

Pleasure to Work With
The movers were great and a pleasure to work with. They came on time and got everything done the same day. Our move started and finished in West Bronx. I had no issues with communicating with the movers, and I’m happy with how everything went. I’d work with them again on future moves."
