Can’t ask for better than Yusuf Neal - he is so kind, communicative, organized, and just a big old sweetheart! He was on time, super respectful and patient. The move went very smoothly and he made it utterly painless! Thank you so much, Yusuf Neal & Elijah, for all your help in such a short turn around time!!

Very friendly, helpful, talented, and communicative. They got the work done fast and made sure I was happy with the results. Thank you!
They were on time and worked hard to finish the job respecting our house hold things. I definitely use them again.
Cimply Labor did a nice job of loading our POD. I do wish they had brought a furniture dolly, but it worked out well anyway. They were thorough and helpful. I would definitely recommend them.
Unbelievable packing skills!! Daniel and his team meticulously loaded my 26ft truck as if it was their own home. Very pleasant, professional and extremely efficient. Best moving experience I have ever had!

Musa and his team did a wonderful job. Even though I was almost late to meeting my arrival window, they made the best of their time and got all my stuff unpacked in a very efficient and thorough manner. The crew was respectful and very easy to coordinate with. I will be booking directly with them next time.
I hired 3 movers for 2 hours to help load a moving truck; all 3 were there 25 minutes early! My bldg interior had just been renovated, and the hallways and stairwell are EXTREMELY narrow so i was super nervous about marking and gouging the new walls/trim. All 3 movers were excellent. Absolutely no damage done to the walls! Entire job was done in 50 minutes. I would highly recommend this company for your moving needs.
The crew from SimpleMoves called to say they would be 30 minutes later than the scheduled time. The crew was very thorough in emptying the POD that held most of the 'stuff' from our basement. They were most considerate of property and possessions. The crew worked fast and hard. I had no issues with their efforts.
Arrived on time followed instructions and my needs. Would definitely recommend anyone to use this group!
Michelle was extremely friendly, and the two gentlemen who helped me were great. Definitely would recommend to anyone regardless of move size.
Great
Extremely knowledgeable and helpful. True professionals with great attitude and work ethic. Highly recommend!!!

The guys were great!! Very courteous and carful with our items. We will definitely use your company again if in need. Thank you so much.
All moving is stressful but the guys from Ant Movers made the whole process a lot easier. They turned up on time were respectful of both us and our furniture. Nothing was too much trouble and were proactive with suggestions on how to stack and store the furniture efficiently. They were very polite and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Team was Excellent! very respectful and friendly. Office was very communicative upon my reservation also. They arrived as scheduled & moved my belongings very efficiently & carefully and stayed within 2hr frame! I would recommend to family and friends.
The were 20 minutes late. But they worked VERY HARD. Nice fellows! Polite! Curteous! Will call on them if I need help!
Very efficient and professional.
I used them again, and they did not disappoint me. I will definitely recommend them to family and friends.
Tony and John were efficient, personable and did an amazing job! I plan to hire them again for the next part of my move.

Major Neighborhoods in Manhattan
Arguably the most iconic and recognizable of the five New York boroughs, Manhattan is a cosmopolitan center of commerce, finance, and entertainment. If you're someone who thrives in big city crowds and always wants something to do, it doesn't get much better than living next door to famous sites like the Empire State Building, or Broadway's live shows. There's also Central Park for birdwatching, walks, or just taking a break — with over 800 acres to it, you'll find something to do in the park if you ever get tired of the concrete and skyscrapers. Naturally, the borough can get congested and parking can be a real nightmare. So if you’re moving to Manhattan, check out our list to find an experienced local moving service to help you navigate to your new home.
Greenwich Village
Greenwich Village was the home of the city’s counterculture movement in the 50s and 60s and a historic LGBT+ district. The heart of the neighborhood is Washington Square Park, famous for its central plaza fountain and outdoor chess boards. Music fans will enjoy stopping by Café Wha, the former hangout of famous performers like Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and poet Allen Ginsberg – and it still hosts live acts today. The area's also home to many New York University buildings and campus attractions, so it can feel like you're on a campus in some parts of the neighborhood. But whether you're a student or are moving to Greenwich Village for one of the other great amenities, a knowledgeable local moving company will be your best friend.
Upper West Side
Upper West Side is a neighborhood ideal for those who love live music, theater, and entertainment. It's home to the iconic Lincoln Center, hosting famous performing arts organizations like the Metropolitan Opera. You can also catch a show at Smoke Jazz Club, a famous neighborhood venue that just underwent a major expansion. Or spend an afternoon exploring the exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History. And whether you like eating before or a show or after, you have your pick of delicious restaurants, including French Roast, which serves classic Parisian bistro fare. Thinking of becoming a new Upper West Side resident? Hiring a local moving company to help with the logistics will be the best thing you ever did — besides deciding to move into the neighborhood, that is.
Chelsea
An eclectic mixture of housing styles makes Chelsea a popular spot for long-time residents and newcomers alike. You’ll find over 200 art galleries here, including the Dia Chelsea and David Zwirner galleries. Any local will tell you that stopping at the weekend Chelsea Flea Market is a definite must-do, and while you're out and about, you can also visit the High Line, a uniquely elevated park built over old railroad tracks. But no matter what your preferred weekend looks like, consider a membership to DoNYC to get the latest updates on live music and community events. And to help you transition into the neighborhood, check out our list of local movers. They know the area better than anyone, and will get you to your new place stress-free.
Upper East Side
Home to many a Hollywood star and business mogul, the Upper East Side is one of the city’s wealthiest neighborhoods. You probably know it's where the iconic Madison Avenue is located, home to high-end designer shops like Prada and Chanel. But the neighborhood is also home to Museum Mile, a stretch of 5th Avenue lined by buildings like the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And after a long day of shopping and seeing exhibits, you can stop by Ralph’s Coffee for a cappuccino and fresh cookies. The Upper East Side is the epitome of luxury, so if you're moving into the neighborhood, be sure to hire the best local movers — you'll be thankful to have professionals that already know how to deal with high rises!
