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!
