Arthur Avenue Moves Require Local Knowledge
Belmont sits in the heart of the Bronx, anchored by Arthur Avenue and its tight residential side streets. Trucks over 26 feet cannot make the turn onto most blocks east of Lorillard Place without a spotter. We run a Bronx-based team — not dispatchers calling from an office — who know which corners need a banksman and which buildings require COI language specific to their management company.
Arthur Avenue’s commercial strip means street parking is competitive on weekday mornings. We stage from Crescent Avenue or East 187th Street where feasible, and we request permits in advance when your block requires them. Your move runs on a schedule, not on luck.

We Know Belmont’s Buildings
Pre-war walk-ups: Most buildings on Cambreleng, Belmont, and Crotona Avenues were built between 1910 and 1940. Stairwells run 34–36 inches wide. We carry the right dollies and furniture straps — no improvising in the hallway.
Post-war elevator buildings: Buildings near Fordham Road and the Grand Concourse have elevators, but pads are not always available. We bring our own and reserve the elevator with building management the day before your move.
Row homes and townhouses: A handful of two-family homes near the Botanical Garden have narrow stoops and basement-level entrances. Our crew walks the property before carrying a single piece of furniture in.

Belmont Moving — Frequently Asked Questions
Most buildings in Belmont require a Certificate of Insurance from your moving company before they will allow elevator or service-entrance access. Big Apple Moving issues COIs the same business day you request one, addressed to your building’s management company. There is no charge — it is included with every move.
Arthur Avenue and the side streets of Belmont have tight turns that restrict large-truck access. Our Bronx-based team stages from wider cross streets when needed and uses a spotter to guide the truck into position. We have worked these blocks since 1979 and know which corners require a street permit and which do not.
A studio or one-bedroom move in Belmont typically runs $450–$650 with a two-mover crew. Two-bedroom moves range $700–$1,000 and three-bedroom moves $1,000–$1,500, depending on inventory and floor access. Walk-up buildings carry a modest per-floor surcharge after the first floor.

We recommend booking at least two weeks ahead for weekend moves and at least one week ahead for weekday moves. End-of-month dates in Belmont fill quickly in spring and summer. If you need a same-week move, call us — we keep reserve capacity for last-minute bookings and can often accommodate within 48–72 hours.
Yes. Upright pianos can be moved on stairwells with the right equipment — a piano board, moving straps, and a trained crew. Grand pianos require a site assessment before booking. Our lead mover will confirm stairwell dimensions, landing sizes, and number of turns before committing to any piano move from a Belmont walk-up.
Yes. Our secure NYC storage facility accepts same-day intake from Belmont moves. Whether you need short-term storage between leases or long-term storage for overflow items, our team picks up on move day and delivers to our climate-controlled facility. Learn more on our NYC storage page.
Our lead mover contacts the superintendent or building management on arrival to confirm elevator access, service-entrance usage, and move-in protocols. If your building requires a deposit or elevator padding, we review that information with you at booking. We do not arrive and sort out paperwork at the door.
Belmont is predominantly pre-war construction — six-story brick walk-up apartments built between 1910 and 1940 are the most common housing type, particularly on Cambreleng, Belmont, and Arthur Avenues. Some post-war elevator buildings are located closer to Fordham Road. A smaller number of two-family row homes sit near the New York Botanical Garden.
Big Apple Moving has served the Bronx since 1979 — over four decades of continuous operation in the borough. We are not a national franchise or a platform that hired a Bronx crew last year. Our team knows these neighbourhoods, buildings, and streets because we have been working them for generations.
