A town between the river and the cliff
Edgewater is narrow, with one main road and few places for a truck to wait.
The homes we move here
Riverfront towers. Expect a loading dock, a reserved elevator and a management-set time slot. Most want a COI. We issue it and send it with your contract.
Townhouses and low-rise complexes. Two or three levels, a street-level garage and a shared drive. Inside stairs turn tightly, so beds, desks and big tables often come apart. We take them apart and put them back together.
Older houses near the cliff. Short, steep streets climb toward the foot of the Palisades, where a truck has little room to turn. Show us the block on your video estimate so we know where the truck can stand.
River Road and your moving day
River Road fills at rush hour and on weekends, so we plan for it. We ask for your move window early and time the drive to arrive at its start.
- From Midtown or lower Manhattan, the truck usually comes through the Lincoln Tunnel. From upper Manhattan or the Bronx, it usually crosses the George Washington Bridge.
- The crew gets your dock or entrance details, the elevator booking and the front desk contact.
- If your building has no dock, we settle where the truck stands before moving day, not on it.
How pricing works: your rate and terms are in writing before moving day, and your final cost depends on how much you move. If you add items or services, we confirm the change in writing first.
Your Edgewater prep list
- Three weeks out, ask management for the rules in writing: hours, elevator, dock and COI names. Send them to us.
- Two weeks out, book the elevator for the date. For two buildings, book both.
- One week out, tell the front desk your date and ask if deliveries share the dock.
- Two days out, gather fobs, remotes, keys and stickers in one envelope.
- On the day, clear a path to the elevator and pack a first-night bag.
Typical Edgewater moves
- Manhattan to the waterfront. Keep the skyline, gain space. See our Manhattan to Edgewater guide.
- Up the hill to a house. Outgrew the condo? Move to Fort Lee, Cliffside Park or Bergen County.
- Downsizing to one floor. A Bergen County house becomes a condo. We pack, take furniture apart, and store what does not fit in affiliated self-storage.
River buildings have their own rules. See our high-rise moving page.
Selling or renting out a home in Edgewater? No one may move in before the borough’s Certificate of Compliance. Leaving furniture behind? See the bulk trash rules by town.
Edgewater questions
Where do your crews come from?
From Brooklyn, NY. That is where our trucks start.
My building wants a COI. Can you send it?
Yes. We issue the COI and send it with your contract.
Can you move me on a Saturday or a holiday?
Yes. Check your building first: some riverfront buildings allow moves only on certain days.
