Local detail
Moving in Schenectady
The Stockade is one of the oldest continuously occupied neighborhoods in the country, and it moves like it: narrow streets, no driveways, interior staircases with hard turns. Upper Union Street and the Niskayuna-side homes are much easier going, with driveway access and wider doors.
- Historic Stockade access planning
- Street-parking loading in the older grid
- Easier driveway access on the Union Street side
What should you know about moving in Schenectady?
Schenectady has two very different kinds of move. The Stockade, downtown and the older grid around Union College are historic streets with no driveways, narrow sidewalks and interior staircases that turn hard. The truck parks on the street and the carry is long, so we plan around the tightest turn and the nearest legal curb.
Upper Union Street, Woodlawn, Bellevue and the neighborhoods toward Niskayuna and Rotterdam are the easier end: driveways, garages and wider doors. Those moves are about volume more than access, and a full basement is usually what takes the time.
Which Schenectady moves do we do most?
- Apartments in two- and three-family houses around Union College and Mont Pleasant.
- Downtown apartments near State Street and the newer buildings at Mohawk Harbor, which may ask for a certificate of insurance.
- Family houses in Woodlawn, Bellevue and along Upper Union Street.
- Moves between Schenectady and the rest of the Capital Region, usually along Route 7 or I-890.

Questions
Moving in Schenectady: common questions
Yes, the whole city, and moves between Schenectady and the towns around it. If you are moving between Schenectady and Albany, Troy or Saratoga Springs, one crew does both ends.
It takes more planning. The streets are narrow, there are no driveways and many houses have steep interior stairs, so the truck loads from the curb. Tell us the address and we will work out where the truck can stand before we set the crew size.
Two to four weeks is comfortable. The end of the month and late August, when Union College and SUNY Schenectady students move, fill first.
