Moving to Annadale, Staten Island
Annadale is a quiet South Shore Staten Island neighborhood built mostly around single-family houses, driveways and yards rather than apartment buildings. It reads as suburban, so most moves here are house-to-house jobs rather than the walk-up shuffles you'd get in the other boroughs.
What moving in Annadale is really like
Housing is predominantly single- and two-family detached houses with driveways, plus a scattering of townhouses and small condos. Our borough-wide estimate shows most Staten Island buildings as walk-ups (about 81%) with elevators rare (about 19%), but in practice most Annadale moves are house-to-house, which means more furniture, garages and basements to clear rather than elevator bookings.
Most moves here are studios (42% of all moves). The most common destination is Manhattan (39% of moves), a median of 18 miles. The busiest time to move is Oct–Jun.

What goes into your Annadale moving cost
A Annadale move is priced on labor (crew size × hours), the truck, and a few add-ons. Here's what moves the number:
- Flights of stairs — roughly $50–$150 per flight. 81% of Annadale moves are walk-ups, so this is the biggest cost swing here.
- Elevator & COI — many Staten Island buildings require a reserved service elevator and a Certificate of Insurance. MOVD handles the COI; reserve the elevator early.
- Distance & tolls — Annadale moves run a median of about 18 miles. Cross-borough and bridge/tunnel moves add drive time and tolls.
- Packing — full packing adds labor and materials; pack your own non-fragile boxes to trim the bill.
- Season & timing — May–September peak runs 30–40% higher; mid-week and mid-month beat weekends and month-end.
- Parking permit — a NYC DOT moving-truck permit ($35–$50) may be needed on busy Annadale blocks; your mover can usually arrange it.

Getting a truck in & building access in Annadale
Parking is genuinely easier here than in Manhattan or Brooklyn, with driveways and open curb space letting a truck park close to the door. Moves lean heavily on the truck, and anything leaving the island crosses a bridge, so trips to Manhattan or Brooklyn run longer than the mileage suggests; our data pegs the typical move around 18 miles.
Getting there: Movers reach Annadale via the Staten Island Railway (Annadale stop) and Hylan Boulevard, with the West Shore Expressway and SI Expressway (I-278) handling off-island trips.
Local tips for moving in Annadale
- Budget for bridge tolls if you're moving off-island — the Verrazzano to Brooklyn or the Goethals/Bayonne toward New Jersey add a fixed cost most SI quotes must include.
- Empty the garage, basement and shed early; house moves here carry far more stored furniture and bulky items than a typical apartment.
- Confirm the crew can back the truck into your driveway so heavy pieces have the shortest carry.
Your Annadale moving checklist
- 4 weeks outGet your flat-rate MOVD price and lock in your Annadale move date — peak season (May–September) and month-end fill up fast.
- 2–3 weeks outMeasure your stairwell, landings, and doorways — Annadale is walk-up-heavy, so confirm big furniture will make the turns. Request a COI if your building needs one.
- 1 week outConfirm your move window, finish packing, and label boxes by room. Most Annadale moves travel about 18 miles, so plan the route and any tolls.
- Move dayClear a path and hold the curb for the truck (a DOT permit helps on busy blocks). Keep valuables and documents with you, and do a final walkthrough before you sign off.
