Movers in Rensselaer, NY

I Like To Move It Movers moves homes and apartments in the City of Rensselaer, NY, the small city on the Hudson across from downtown Albany. Rensselaer jobs split between the older hill streets, with narrow access and steep stairs, and the newer riverfront apartment buildings near the Amtrak station, which have move-in rules. We plan and quote each one separately.

Local detail

Moving in Rensselaer

Rensselaer faces downtown Albany from the east bank and is close enough that plenty of moves here are people crossing the river rather than leaving the region. The Amtrak station on the riverfront is one of the busiest in the country and the newer housing near it behaves like a managed building, while the older streets up the hill behave like the rest of the east bank: narrow, steep and parked solid.

  • Cross-river moves to and from Albany
  • Newer riverfront buildings with move-in rules
  • Older hill streets with tight access

What should you know about moving in Rensselaer?

The city has two kinds of move. The older streets climbing the hill from Broadway are dense, steep and parked solid, with two-families and row houses where the truck loads from the curb and the stairs are tight. The newer apartment buildings along the riverfront near the train station behave like managed buildings: an elevator to reserve, loading hours and often a certificate of insurance before move day.

Many Rensselaer moves are Albany moves in reverse, people crossing the Dunn Memorial Bridge one way or the other. That is usually a single day, planned around weekday bridge traffic.

Is Rensselaer the same as East Greenbush or Rensselaer County?

No. Rensselaer is a city of its own on the riverfront. Rensselaer County is the much larger county that includes Troy, East Greenbush and the towns east of the river. If you are moving in one of those, see that town's own page.

Questions

Moving in Rensselaer: common questions

Many of the newer riverfront buildings do. Ask the management office for their requirements and send them to us, and we will have the certificate issued before your date.

Yes. It is a short trip across the river, so most apartment and house moves between the two are loaded and delivered the same day.

Yes. Steep streets, tight parking and narrow stairs are normal work for us. Tell us about the stairs and where the truck can stand when you book.
