Across the river from the Upper West Side
Edgewater sits across the Hudson from Manhattan. Most moves end on River Road.
Tunnel or bridge
From Manhattan, the truck takes the Lincoln Tunnel or George Washington Bridge to Edgewater. Crews come from Brooklyn. See our NYC to New Jersey page for the other boroughs.
Questions to ask your Edgewater building
| Ask this | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Where does a moving truck unload: a dock, the garage or the curb? | Some garages are too low for a box truck, and River Road has little room to wait. |
| Which days and hours are open for moves? | We time the drive from Manhattan to reach the start of the window. |
| What names go on the COI? | We issue the COI with those names and send it with your contract. |
| Does the freight elevator also serve deliveries? | Package and furniture deliveries can eat into your slot. |
| How far is the walk from the unloading spot to the elevator? | A long carry inside the building adds time, so we count it in the price. |
What kind of Edgewater home
Riverfront towers follow the rules in the table above. Townhouses put a garage at street level and two or three floors of stairs inside the unit, so beds and dressers usually come apart to make the turns. Houses on the short streets under the cliff leave little room to turn a truck, and a video estimate shows us where it can stand. The Edgewater movers page has more on the town itself.
The Manhattan end
Many pre-war Upper West Side buildings have a small service elevator, a basement entrance and a super who needs to know the date. Newer Midtown towers work more like your new riverfront building: a dock, a booking system and a COI. A walk-up means stairs. Tell us the floor, elevator and where the truck can stop. See the high-rise moving page for doorman buildings.
Who moves this way
Renters who want more room and a water view, families who need a bedroom and parking, and Bergen County commuters.
Before you go
- Book the Manhattan service elevator and ask the super which entrance to use.
- Ask the Edgewater building where the truck unloads and how long your slot lasts.
- Send us the COI requirements from both buildings.
- Moving into a townhouse? Measure the inside stairs against your bed and dresser.
- Plan where your car parks on moving day.
- Carry the new fobs and garage remote yourself, not in a box.
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.

Manhattan to Edgewater questions
Can the truck stop on River Road?
It depends on the address. Many riverfront buildings have a dock or a loading area off the road.
Which is quicker from the Upper West Side, the tunnel or the bridge?
From the northern blocks, usually the bridge. From the southern blocks and Midtown, usually the tunnel.
My Edgewater lease starts after my Manhattan lease ends. What can I do?
We can hold your things in short- or long-term storage through affiliated, clean, secure self-storage facilities and deliver them on a scheduled date.
Do you keep an address in Edgewater?
No. Our trucks start in Brooklyn, NY, and we have no address in New Jersey.
