The Ultimate Guide to Moving Within Westchester County
Whether you're upgrading to a larger home, relocating for a new school district, or downsizing for simplicity, moving within Westchester County can still feel like a big job. Even local moves come with stress, logistics, and a ton of planning. But with the right prep—and the right local movers—you can enjoy a smooth transition.
At AM-PM Super Movers, we've handled thousands of moves across Westchester towns, from Yonkers to Yorktown. Here’s your complete guide to moving within the county, packed with pro tips and local insights.
Why People Move Within Westchester
You’re not alone—many Westchester residents relocate within the county. Common reasons include:
Wanting more space for a growing family
Downsizing after kids move out
Moving closer to work, schools, or the train
Swapping city-style condos for more suburban living
Step-by-Step: Planning Your Westchester Move
1. Start Early
Even a short-distance move needs lead time. Aim to book your movers 4–6 weeks ahead, especially during peak seasons (spring/summer or end-of-month).
2. Choose the Right Town for Your Lifestyle
If you’re switching neighborhoods, consider:
School ratings (Scarsdale, Bronxville, Chappaqua)
Commute times (White Plains, New Rochelle, Tarrytown)
Walkability & amenities (Larchmont, Pleasantville, Rye)
Tip: We can recommend moving-friendly neighborhoods based on your needs.
3. Hire a Local Moving Company
A company based in Westchester (like us!) knows:
Town-specific parking rules
Seasonal weather patterns
HOA or building requirements
Narrow streets or long driveways common in the suburbs
4. Declutter Before You Pack
Take advantage of the move to donate, sell, or toss what you no longer need. Local donation centers include:
Goodwill in New Rochelle
The Sharing Shelf in Port Chester
GreenDrop in White Plains
5. Don’t Forget Local Moving Permits
Some towns require street parking permits for moving trucks. Others (like co-ops or gated communities) may need a Certificate of Insurance (COI).
→ Don’t worry—we handle the permits and COIs for you.
6. Pack Like a Pro
Use sturdy, labeled boxes or rent our eco-friendly bins.
Pack an essentials box with things you’ll need day one.
Label rooms clearly to help your movers unload efficiently.
Need help? We offer full and partial packing services!
7. Time Your Move Right
Avoid rush hours if you're crossing busy corridors like I-287 or the Bronx River Parkway. Weekend moves can be easier for families but book quickly—they fill up fast!
8. Make Moving Day Easy
Reserve building elevators or loading docks, if needed
Clear driveways and walkways
Have snacks, water, and pet plans ready
We’ll handle the heavy lifting—you enjoy a stress-free move!
