The shift to hybrid work has reduced the demand for office space in the New York metro area. Still, the Golden Apple remains a great place to live, work and play. With the median single family home topping $650K, investment dollars are pouring into the multi-family market and apartments.

- Avalon Green, a 617-unit complex in Elmsford sold for $306 million
- Shearwood Station, a 408-unit, luxury apartment complex in New Rochelle fetched $200 million
- The View on Nob Hill, a 416-unit, garden-style complex, drew $143 million
Other development projects underway or recently completed:

- The Cappelli Organization plan to redevelop the shuttered Galleria mall in White Plains
- 645 Main Street, Peekskill, an 82-unit building developed by the Housing Action Council and Wilder Balter Partners

At McAvey Moving, we have experienced an uptick in customers moving to apartments in Westchester County. Some are coming from other parts of the New York metropolitan area to work. Within county, the customers are typically one of these two:
- adult children moving out of their parents’ home
- empty nesters downsizing
Related to the empty nesters downsizing, there is sometime the need for storage. These are the scenarios where customers need storage:
- they are holding off on buying a new house due to low inventory or high interest rates
- they want to trial the lifestyle of apartment living before fully committing
- they have not yet finalized all decisions related to downsizing
So, have you recently selected your new home to be an apartment or condo in Westchester County? You will need to consider certain factors that influence the cost and quality of apartment moving.
How Much Does It Cost To Move Apartment?
The most budget friendly option might be to move yourself. However, this alternative is not always feasible to all people.
- DIY move
- Timing
- Apartment size and quantity of items moved
- Distance
- Homeowner association restrictions
- Physical location challenges
- Partial or full-service move
When the window is small to exit one place and move into another, your moving options are likewise smaller. The longer the travel distance, the more time and cost required to move. Multiple round trips are easier when moving fifteen minutes away compared to a one-way, four-hour trip. Narrow steps, restricted elevator usage, oversized items or limited moving hours are other challenges that require specialized equipment or manpower.
When hiring professional residential movers in Westchester County, you could select just loading and unloading service. You could add packing services and supplies. You could opt for clean-up service from your old residence to setup service in your new home. At McAvey Movers, we offer the full range of basic to white-glove services for our customers.
Our dedicated planner will provide you with moving tips and keep you apprised of important milestones.
Other administrative tasks related to your move:
- track your inventory of items pre and post move
- discard those items you are not taking to the new location
- have replacement insurance coverage
- file all change of address notifications
- select residential movers in Westchester County carefully

I’ve been working with McAvey Moving company for personal and business needs for over 20 years . Great service . Great staff .

I had an excellent recent experience with McAvey Moving. I moved from White Plains to Manhattan. Their office staff is professional, courteous, and responds promptly to questions. The moving team that packed my apartment had years of experience and stored my items for several months. When it was time to move them to my new apartment, no items were missing or damaged. My new building has strict move-in hours, which McAvey Moving respected. Their move-in team quickly reassembled my apartment. I could not be happier with McAvey Moving and highly recommend them!
These guys are pros! Their price was very competitive and the work, impeccable. The whole crew were very patient with my elderly parents who had been in their home for over 45 years. They were very courteous and helpful throughout the whole process and by the end of the week, they felt like part of the family. They even came back after the move and loaded up all of the junk being discard and hauled it away! This was extremely helpful. I highly recommend McAvey Moving Company for any job big or small. Moving is a very unsettling experience to go through and partnering with McAvey Moving gave us great comfort and peace of mind! THANK YOU!
My mother is moving to Florida full time and sold her house in NJ after 50 years. I hadn’t used a mover in years but we had antique furniture, large oil paintings, gym equipment, sofas etc that needed to be moved to our house in Westchester County. I was dreading the process but from requesting a quote, planning the move to the crew packing, delivering and unpacking, McAvey Moving Company was the best. The crew was friendly, efficient, thoughtful and packed everything thoroughly and safely. They took all the stress out of our move and we couldn’t have been happier and more relieved at the end of the day! Thank you Brian, for your amazing staff and crew.
We are not perfect. Here is a time when we did not earn a 5-star review:
Called and left 2 messages with receptionist and never got a call back.
