Seasoned New Yorkers will tell you that Greenwich Village is pronounced “Grenich” Village. That’s also maybe why most people — New Yorker and other — simply call it “the Village.” And the Village is not only essential to New York City's history, but it’s also one of the most desirable places to live in the known universe.
If you too are hoping to make this corner of NYC your new home, then Oz Moving & Storage is the seasoned NYC moving company guaranteed to meet all your moving needs.
Back in 1993, OZ was a humble team of new local movers just starting to make their mark in NYC. Today, we specialize in residential moving, commercial moving, office moving, and both local and long-distance moving services. We provide custom packing and unpacking services, affordable storage solutions — and anything else you might need for a stress-free moving experience. But while we average over 15,000 moves a year nationwide, we remain Manhattan movers first. And we know the Village inside and out.
Need to move that priceless piece of Village fine art into the walk-up next door? We’ve done it. Need some last-minute packing supplies on moving day? We got you. Opting for a full-service NYC move from across the country? Again, OZ got your back. So get a free quote, and let us help you call the Village home today. Meanwhile, here are a few moving tips from the local pros.
Dutch settlers coined Greenwich Village “Groenwijck” (i.e., the "Green District") way back in the day. Centuries later, the neighborhood would achieve worldwide stardom as a hub for the Beat Generation, the 1960s counterculture movements, artists, writers, musicians, and all sorts of token NYC eccentrics and bohemians. As well as a haven for the modern LGBTQ+ movement worldwide.
In recent decades, the Village has been associated with hipsters. But its roughly 30,000 colorful residents include families, retirees, techies, entrepreneurs, creatives, and every possible type of New Yorker you can imagine. Oh, and Bob Dylan (among many other celebrities).
The Village is also one of the country’s (and NYC’s) most expensive hoods. The average cost of living is 77% higher than the state average. Rent for a studio is usually upwards of $4,000. And groceries and other necessities are steep even by Manhattan standards. So after moving costs, you’ll want to have at least $5,000-6,000/month to call it home.
Despite its name, the Village feels more like a small planet when it comes to things to do. The world-famous Washington Square Park, New School, and NYU all call it home. Plus world-class bars, restaurants, cafes, entertainment venues, art galleries, and green spaces with quintessential NYC flavor. And with other world-famous NYC hubs like Chelsea, the East and West Village, and Soho a stone’s throw away — you definitely won’t be bored. Both on any given day and for decades to come.
Oz is constantly evolving and expanding the array of services we offer to best meet customer needs. Many of our employees are specialists, providing expertise in areas such as storage services, antique restoration, assembly and disassembly, packing services, packing supplies, unpacking, custom crating, white glove moving, piano moving, last minute moves, office moving and more.
