Best Park Slope Movers

Park Slope’s streets and blocks are lined with trees and mostly historic brownstone buildings. Going clockwise from the East River, Park Slope is bounded by Fourth Avenue in the west, Flatbush Avenue in the north, Prospect Park and Prospect Park West in the east, and Prospect Expressway in the south. Although relatively small, the Slope is also generally divided into three sections: “North Slope,” aka the “named streets” from Flatbush Avenue to Garfield Place; “Center Slope,” from 1st to 9th Streets; and “South Slope” — everything south of 10th Street. It has two ZIP codes — 11215 and 11217.

Similar to Manhattan (minus the skyscrapers), the avenues in Park Slope are largely commercial areas, while the streets running east to west are usually home to residential brownstones and apartment buildings. Fortunately, Park Slope’s simple gridded layout and relatively low-rise homes make it fairly easy for movers to maneuver — Brooklyn traffic pending, that is. But grid or no grid, moving anywhere in NYC is no easy task. So whether it’s North, Center, or South Slope you’re in (or thinking about being in) — OZ knows the lay of the land. Moreover, with an office in nearby Brooklyn Heights, we can be at your Park Slope doorstep in almost no time. Brooklyn Traffic pending, that is.

Given its prestige, size, and location, finding a place to rent in Park Slope can be both tricky and costly. And as demand grows, so do the prices. For example, according to zumper.com, as of December 10, 2022, the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Park Slope was $3,195 — 27% more than the previous year. And the average cost of housing here is more than 300% higher than in the rest of the country. Common online New Yorker go-tos to find an apartment include streeteasy, renthop, padmapper, and zumper, with social media housing groups also becoming increasingly popular. But like in most major cities, many New Yorkers these days rely on word-of-mouth to find their crash pad — so it helps to know a local. Fortunately, OZ is a local — so we can help too.

With a 40% lower crime rate than the nation’s average, Park Slope is often ranked as the safest neighborhood in Brooklyn. However, the cost of living here is steep.

Meanwhile, the cost of living in Park Slope is 82% higher than the NY average and 117% higher than the national average. In short, to live here comfortably, you’ll need around $7,000/month at least (and that’s solo).

To the best of our knowledge, the mayor and the president had their own movers. Nevertheless, OZ has been helping countless Park Slope residents — current and former, superhero and other — make their moves as stress-free as possible for nearly three decades and counting.
