Inwood Movers

Northernmost Manhattan and Cloisters Area Moving Specialists

Inwood sits at the very top of Manhattan, north of Dyckman Street, where the island narrows to a wooded point surrounded by the Harlem River and the Hudson. The neighborhood is anchored by Inwood Hill Park — Manhattan's last remaining natural forest — and the Cloisters museum in neighboring Fort Tryon Park. Inwood's residential blocks feature a dense collection of affordable pre-war apartment buildings, many of them Art Deco-era structures from the 1930s with generous room sizes, original parquet floors, and rents that attract residents from across the city. Piece of Cake Moving & Storage serves Inwood with the same dedication we bring to every Manhattan neighborhood.

Inwood's pre-war buildings — clustered along Broadway, Seaman Avenue, Cooper Street, and Payson Avenue — typically have six stories with small elevators that can handle basic furniture items but require stair carries for larger pieces like mattresses and sofas. Many buildings have original Art Deco lobby details, decorative hallway tilework, and hardwood floors that demand careful protection during moves. Building management in Inwood is often handled by live-in superintendents rather than professional management companies, so our crews coordinate directly with the super for elevator scheduling and building access.

Getting to Inwood with a fully loaded moving truck requires navigating Broadway through Washington Heights or taking the Henry Hudson Parkway to the Dyckman Street exit. The neighborhood's hilly terrain — particularly along Seaman Avenue and the blocks near Fort Tryon Park — means some buildings have split-level entries or steep outdoor staircases leading to the lobby. Parking is generally more available than in lower Manhattan, but DOT permits are still recommended for move-day truck positioning. Inwood sees a high volume of moves year-round due to its affordability and the constant influx of new residents discovering the neighborhood's parks, restaurants, and easy A-train access to the rest of Manhattan.
