How Long Does a Local NYC Move Take?

Knowing how long your move will take helps you plan elevator reservations, time off work, and building move hours. Every move is different, but these general ranges can help.

General time ranges

A packed studio or small one-bedroom in an elevator building often takes a few hours. Two- and three-bedroom apartments usually take most of a day. Houses and large apartments can take a full day or longer. Your quote will give you a better estimate based on your details.

What adds time

Walk-up stairs, long walks from the truck, shared elevators, unpacked rooms, furniture that needs to be taken apart, and traffic between locations all make a move longer.

How to speed things up

Finish packing before the crew arrives, reserve elevators at both buildings, keep hallways clear, and have a plan for where furniture goes in your new home.
