New York City’s Manhattan is home to a staggering 53 neighborhoods. And some of its world-renowned locales — like Harlem, the Upper East and West Sides, Midtown, Murray Hill, Gramercy, TriBeCa, Soho, and Greenwich Village (aka “the Village”) — are the most desirable places to live on the planet. The 0.3-square-mile western section of the Village, aka the West Village, is among them too. And if you’re also hoping to make it your new home, then Oz Moving & Storage is your West Village moving company.
Our team of hard-working NYC movers has over three decades of professional moving experience. And while we provide both local moving and long-distance moving services daily, we are Manhattan movers first and foremost. So as local movers, we know how to navigate the brownstones of the Village like the back of our hand.
Need a full-service move from afar? Custom packing and unpacking services? Storage solutions? Some last-minute packing supplies? Or just an extra hand to pick up your stuff on moving day? Whatever the case — we’re guaranteed to make every step of your West Village moving process top-notch, affordable, and stress-free. So get a free quote or reach out to see how. And now, here are a few West Village moving tips from the local pros.
The West Village is a staple NYC neighborhood that has undergone countless changes over the years. For example, it got its name due to local preservation efforts in the 1950s-1960s.That’s when its residents — opposed to the redevelopment and demolition of historic blocks in the Village east of 7th Ave — started referring to it as the “West Village.” Their efforts were ultimately successful, and the West Village today still has some of the city’s most historic brownstones. As well as an unparalleled, quintessential NYC character and integrity all its own.
Along with Jim Carrey, Hugh Jackman, and Nicole Kidman, the West Village is home to roughly 32,000 New Yorkers from all walks of life. Celebrities rub shoulders with bohemians, techies, entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, bartenders, waiters, students, retirees, and every New Yorker imaginable here. Dozens of languages are spoken daily. However, there is an element of exclusivity.
And that’s because the West Village is also one of the most expensive hoods on the planet. According to the Wall Street Journal, for example, the median rental price here — per square foot — was close to $2,400 in 2024. So while you can get a tiny studio for around $3,500/month, a four-bedroom will run you upwards of $12,000. Add to that groceries and other amenities at Manhattan prices — and you’re looking at $5,000-6,000 a month to live here somewhat comfortably.
But once you’re here, you definitely won’t be bored. Because world-class dining, wining, shopping, entertainment, nightlife, and overall culture are exactly why the name West Village resonates among millions around the world. So if you’ve made up your mind to call it home — OZ can help you land on your feet.
