Whether transporting a few pieces of hard-to-move furniture or a full-service move where we pack, unpack, and arrange your home, we offer a range of packages that can be tailored to your exact requirements. We also provide transparent quotes and flat rate services to help you take back control of your moving budget.
Contact us today to request a moving quote and connect with a dedicated project manager to discuss your Manhattan relocation in detail—from moving-day pick up to organizing your new home.
After 30+ years in the game, we know better than most that this concrete jungle is unlike any other place in the world. And like most born-and-bred New Yorkers, our local movers are experts in maneuvering every square inch of this bustling mega metropolis.
From local moving within Manhattan (and NYC) to long-distance moving across the country. From residential moving to commercial moving for homes and businesses of all sizes. And from supplies to packing and unpacking services to storage units and everything in between — Oz got your back.
So reach out for a free quote and let us handle the heavy lifting, the traffic, the parking— and anything else this crazy little island might throw at you. Whether you're a local or new in town — Oz is your go-to Manhattan moving company.
As specialized NYC movers, we know Manhattan neighborhoods inside and out. Here are a few essential moving tips from the locals. They’re sure to help you land on your feet in the heart of the Big Apple.
A melting pot of cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds is what defines Manhattan. Nearly 200 languages are spoken here daily, for example. And among the 1.6 millioneclectic folks that call Manhattan home, you’ll find every type of citizen of the world imaginable. Young professionals, established families, artists, actors, celebrities, financiers, waiters, bartenders — and literally everyone in between. In other words — no matter your lifestyle, you’re sure to fit right in.
But the island does boast the highest cost of living in the country too. Literally. The average rent for a studio runs upwards of $3,300/month, for example. And some of the best groceries and amenities on Earth aren’t cheap either. So you’re looking at around $6,000/month — at the very least — to live here somewhat comfortably.
Even though the island is huge, walking is a permanent character trait for almost every Manhattanite. As are taxis, Ubers, bikes, e-scooters, skateboards, and so on for most. The MTA, meanwhile — another NYC staple — operates a comprehensive subway and bus system that can take you nearly anywhere in the borough 24/7.
And with everything gridded — it’s nearly impossible to get lost. So not only do you not need a car. But with the island's infamous traffic (and often cut-throat parking practices), chances are you’ll actually opt to get rid of yours before moving day.
And the list of things to do and see in Manhattan? Well, where do we start? There’s, of course, Central Park, Times Square, the Empire State Building, and Broadway. And world-class museums, art galleries, and entertainment venues. Every imaginable food and drink option. Concerts, live shows, sporting events. Green spaces, yoga studios, spas, gyms, climbing walls, playgrounds, dog-walking parks, famous film and TV landmarks...
In short — it would be easier to list the things you can’t do. But, just in case, here are 21 things you can start with courtesy of NYC staple Time Out. Or just ask one of our expert movers. At the very least, they can definitely tell you where to get the best slice of NYC pizza.

The cost of our moves can vary depending on:
In order to understand how much your move will cost, request a free estimate and be sure to provide as much specific information as possible about your move.
Scheduling a move with us is easy. You can either fill out our online quote form, call us directly, or visit our office to speak with a representative. We will then provide you with a customized moving plan and schedule that fits your specific needs.
Like any other service, it is customary to tip movers if you are satisfied with their performance. 15-20% is an appropriate gratuity. Movers are usually tipped in cash. Check our NYC moving tipping guide for more tips.
If you are moving in the off-peak season (October-April), scheduling a move a week or two in advance will usually be sufficient. But, if you are moving in the peak season (April - September), try to schedule your move three to four weeks in advance.
