Forest Hills has been relying on Divine Moving & Storage for almost 30 years to move them in and out of Queens efficiently, safely, and stress-free.

  With gorgeous Tudor-style homes, Forest Hills movers is a fabulous neighborhood for professionals and families to call home. Modeled on the garden communities of England, renowned architect and Yale and Columbia alumnus Grosvenor Atterbury was commissioned to design the neighborhood. As one of the first planned communities in the United States, Forest Hills Gardens is one of the only areas in NYC that can boast privately owned streets. While you can walk and drive through the neighborhood, you cannot park without a permit.

Attracting affluent residents in 1913 was the relocation of the West Side Tennis Club from Manhattan to Forest Hills Gardens and beginning in 1978 was host to the U.S. Open tennis tournament.

  Sadly for Forest Hills residents, the competition would later move to the USTA Tennis Center in nearby Flushing Meadows Park. The venue has even been host to some famous bands over the years: Concerts by the Beatles and Mumford & Sons are just two of the noteworthy bands who’ve dazzled New York City residents at the Tennis Stadium. They’ve promised to hold more music and entertainment events and have kept their promise attracting larger crowds as the venue becomes more popular for concerts.  

Famously, in 2001’s The Royal Tenenbaums, Luke Wilson’s Richie Tenenbaum played a tennis match at Queens’ West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills. Alfred Hitchcock also featured the club in his 1951 movie Strangers on a Train.

  Diverse housing with many upscale options mean that this is an attractive area for many young couples with children and Manhattan professionals looking for an easy commute. In fact, Cottage Living Magazine named the Forest Hills Gardens neighborhoods “Best Community” in 2007. With single-family homes, high-rise and low-rise apartment buildings, and attached townhouses there’s plenty of selection for those considering moving to Queens Forest Hills. And if you need added motivation, Spider Man--or rather, Peter Parker--called Forest Hills home and southern Forest Hills’ Loubet Street has even been used in some films.  

Other than Spider Man, Forest Hills has been the birthplace and home to many successful creative types from actors, authors, and musicians and even athletes and politicians.

Hank Azaria hails from the area as does David Caruso, Billy Eichner, and Ray Ramano. Author Dale Carnegie, known for his famous 1937 book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, lived on Wendover Road. Gideon Yago, a journalist and correspondent for MTV and CBS News is also from Forest Hills. Famous musicians ranging from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel of the eponymous band, Simon & Garfunkel, are from Forest Hills, as are all four founding members of the Ramones (Dee Dee, Joey, Johnny, and Tommy). Less famously, Forest Hills has been home to some scandal plagued politicians such as former Democratic National Committee chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz and disgraced Congressman Anthony Weiner, including some other respected public servants such as US Secretary of the Treasury, Jack Lew.   Forest Hills has been an attractive location for Jewish residents for years. Between Rego Park and Forest Hills, the largest population of Bukharian Jews in the world outside Israel, have called this tranquil area home. The Cord Meyer community living on the northside of Forest Hills has been building larger single family residences which critics complain have had a deleterious impact on the architectural integrity of the neighborhood. As Bukharian Jews settled in increasingly greater numbers in the late 1990s, they were vocal proponents of these larger homes arguing that their larger and growing families required the added space these more sizable residences allowed.  

One of the most famous members of the Bukharian community in Forest Hills was Jacob Arabo, whom fine jewelry aficionados know as the founder of Jacob & Company, a favorite jewelry company among singers, celebrities, and hip-hop and rap artists.

In fact, Jay-Z has even name checked Jacob the Jeweler--and first coined this new moniker--in his song Girl’s Best Friend. Following Jay-Z’s lead, Kanye West’s Touch the Sky mentioned Jacob’s shining baubles as did 50 Cent in Get in My Car. Jacob and his wife, Angela, still live in Forest Hills and plan to never pack up and move from this inspiring Queens neighborhood.  

So when it’s time to move in and around the Queens neighborhood of Forest Hills, trust the best NYC movers in the city:

Manhattan Storage

"Storage problems? We've got the divine solution! Our storage services offer premium care for your belongings at rates that won't make your wallet shed tears. It's storage bliss, baby! #ManhattanStorageMania"

mover in a manhattan storage

"Need storage space that won't devour your paycheck like a New Yorker at an all-you-can-eat buffet? Divine Moving and Storage has got you covered with affordable rates that won't break the bank!  #ManhattanStorageMania"

Adding to the problem of limited space, many buildings don’t have sufficient space to hold your items on-site or the available options are inadequate,
expensive, or subject to a waiting list. So when you’ve run out of room for your belongings, finding the space to store them can be a challenge. And finding a trustworthy storage service can be a time consuming and laborious process.
In the sea of choices currently available for New York City storage it can be overwhelming to choose the right home away from home for your belongings. Finding an affordable, convenient, and safe option for storing your single items or the contents of an entire home shouldn’t be as difficult as navigating Manhattan’s storage seemingly inscrutable real estate market--after all, you don’t have to move in, only your stuff does!

With the right guidance overseen by a professional NYC storage service, storing your belongings should be an easy process.

On top of protecting your items when they’re in storage, proximity to your belongings is an important consideration for many New Yorkers who may need items pulled from storage for an event, changing seasons, or holidays. For example, you don’t need your Thanksgiving decorations taking up space all year long in your Manhattan apartment, but the ability to order them to your door in time to decorate and prepare for the holiday can be as stressful as making the turkey for your family and friends. Instead of a stressful storage experience, you should always use a professional storage service that provides easy access to your belongings. After all, it’s your stuff, so you should be able to get anything you need when you need it.

"Say goodbye to storage nightmares and hello to storage dreams come true! Affordable rates and premium service make Divine Moving and Storage your storage fairy godmother! ✨ #ManhattanStorageMania"

Whether you need to store a few items for the short-term or an entire home long-term, full-service storage companies should also provide options for providing packing supplies, moving and transportation logistics, and around-the-clock support to assist you when you need it. Properly protecting items you need to stash in storage isn’t something to gloss over. While items are safe when using a professional, licensed, and bonded storage company, improperly packed items can be damaged during transit.

Protecting personal belongings for the trip to the storage facility can be the difference between elation and heartbreak when your things are returned to you.

If you’ve run out of room for grandma’s china you expect it to return to you in the same condition it left you in: whole. If you can’t trust that your things are safe, there’s no point entrusting anyone to look after them in the first place. You need your Manhattan storage company to look after your items with the same care and concern they’d be shown while under your stewardship. The most important aspect of choosing the right company should be whether they are fully licensed and insured. Reputable moving and storage companies list their qualifications and certificates on their website so it’s easy for you to verify.

"Running out of space is tough, but finding affordable storage in NYC is tougher! Thankfully, Divine Moving and Storage delivers the ultimate storage solution without delivering a shock to your bank account! ⚡ #ManhattanStorageMania"

Furthermore, verifying through independent sources is another option to give you peace of mind that you’ve chosen the right company. Importantly, choosing an established moving company is always your best bet. Established moving companies are those which have been in business for more than a decade. These professional storage companies are your safest option because their success is contingent upon having a clean, reliable, and trustworthy reputation, which their reviews should reflect.

Residential and commercial storage options abound in Manhattan, so who can you trust?

Make sure to read the reviews provided on many independent sites. Often when sifting through reviews it’s easy to get bogged down by all the minutia. Make sure to read both the good and bad reviews for your New York City storage company as the bad reviews can be as telling as the good. Bad reviews are only bad when nothing was done to make right the error claimed by an unhappy customer on behalf of the storage company.

"Limited space making you feel like you're in a never-ending game of storage Tetris? Divine Moving and Storage has the superpower to fit it all with affordable rates that'll make you shout 'bingo!'  #ManhattanStorageMania"

Often there are unforeseeable issues that come up, but if they are rectified by a company who cares about making you happy and your storage experience a good one, then you know you’ll be in good hands. However, not all errors are the storage company’s responsibility, so make sure you know what they are and are not responsible for. For example, if you pack your storage items yourself, they won’t be covered under your storage and moving company’s insurance. Only items packed by the service provider are covered under their insurance.
Divine Pro Moving

A storage company committed to providing premium service is one that provides best-in-class customer service and is not only available to address questions, concerns, and requests but also one that takes the responsibility of looking after your belongings seriously.

Storing your belongings in Manhattan storage means contending with New York’s mercurial seasons. There are a few things to think about when assessing the right storage facility. While access and amenities such as packing and delivery to your door are important, more important that these factors is the quality of the facility where your items will be stored.

"Running out of closet space faster than a New Yorker running for the subway? Divine Moving and Storage has got your back, and your stuff, with affordable rates that won't leave you in a storage frenzy!  #ManhattanStorageMania"

professional movers

It goes without saying that professional movers make any move easier.  They know what they’re doing, they know where to go, and best of all: they do the heavy lifting.  But what about trying to do it on your own?  Should you even attempt it?  If you’re trying to justify moving alone, whether it's to or from a building with a doorman, a 4-story walk up, or a cozy townhouse, we’re going to convince you that there’s no “I” in move!

Moving to an Apartment Building

If you’re lucky enough to afford an apartment in New York City, then you deserve to move into it with ease.  When you’re moving to a smaller apartment building with only one elevator, that’s going to create a lot of issues.  Waiting for it to come up and down and only being able to cram some of your stuff in each time is going to take forever, and you need all the power you can get.  Multiple team members mean you’ll always be ready to move another load.  Larger apartment buildings will typically have more than one elevator, so use the extra strength to your advantage!  By hiring professional movers, you can have several people making trips at the same time, expediting the moving process.  Not to mention the fact that moving hard objects like furniture and crates can damage an elevator’s interior.  Professional movers know how to get in and out of your building without damaging it.

Moving to a Walk Up

Yikes.  The laws in New York are changing to accommodate those with disabilities, but many buildings 5 stories or less do not have elevators simply because they were never required to.  Whether you’re moving in or out of a walk up, it’s not going to be easy.  This is really where the muscle behind professional movers comes in.  Sure, you can ask your friends to lend a helping hand, but so many trips up and down could make you enemies by the end of the day.

Moving to a Townhouse

A townhouse may seem less daunting than an apartment building due to the sheer size difference, but don’t let them fool you: you’re still going to have to make a lot of trips up the stairs.  Professional movers won’t just leave your stuff on the ground floor to deal with later (which we all might be a little inclined to do after a long day), but they’ll actually take your stuff up to the floor you want it in.

No matter what your move is, do it right, do it easily, and do it with Divine Moving.

Secure Storage Solutions

"State-of-the-art technology meets your storage needs. Discover the fortress-like security measures that protect your valuables like a superhero's secret lair!  #AdvancedSecurity #SecureStorage"

storage movers for businesses

 "Enter the realm of secure storage. Our gated access ensures only authorized individuals can enter, adding an extra level of security to your storage experience.  #GatedAccess #SecureStorage"

Storing some items while you are changing business locations can be beneficial because it gives you time to organize as you go or store items that are to be sold at a later time. This allows you to set up your new location at your pace without a lot of clutter.

Trusted Secure Storage, Proven Results

Fine Art Holding for Gallery Launch

★★★★★

Challenge: Secure, climate-controlled storage for valuable art pieces.

“Your security and care gave us full confidence.”

Corporate Records & Archives

“You safeguarded my investment with absolute care.”

Downsizing

Many people realize the benefits of living in smaller homes and apartments. When you downsize, there may be some things you occasionally use that you don’t have room for at your new location. For example, if you like to camp in the summer you may not want all your equipment taking up space at your home the rest of the year.

"Double the locks, double the protection! We take security seriously, providing an extra layer of defense to keep your belongings secure.  #DoubleProtection #SecureStorage"

If you only live part time in a location, you may want to use storage services for part of the year. This can help you keep your possessions organized and stored properly, so they retain their condition. Our secure storage facility is climate controlled and monitored 24 hours a day.

Students

Student housing can be small, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have things that you might want to have on hand at certain times of the year. Also, if you live in the area only during the academic year, it is much easier to store possessions for when you return instead of taking them with you or relying on less secure storage methods on campus.

"With Secure Storage, your belongings are encased in a fortress of security. Trust us to guard your treasures like the knights of old!  #GuardiansOfStorage #SecureHaven"

Divine Movers provides Manhattan storage as well as moving services throughout the greater New York City area. We can help you pack, move your things, and even put them into secure storage for you.

Tips For Packing a New York City Apartment

packing boxes
When it comes time to make a move in New York, it can seem overwhelming. Deciding how and what to pack and what should be left behind or donated is a daunting task. Here are some tips for packing which can make your move a lot more manageable.
  1. Reduce Clutter

Moving is a great time to assess what you need and what you don’t use anymore. Clothing that you haven’t worn in years is a perfect example of something you might consider donating.
  1. Pack Fragile Items First

Fragile items are the most likely to become damaged during your move. Smaller items can be packed with bubble wrap and taped for security before being placed in a moving box or plastic tote. Large, fragile items are best left to a professional mover that has equipment and experience.
  1. Label Well

Picture yourself in your new place with a bunch of boxes. Now think about what it would be like if these boxes all look similar and have no labels. This is a recipe for frustration that can be easily remedied by creating some stick on labels with your computer and printer or directly writing on the box.. When you get to your new location, you will be able to get unpacked and organized with ease.
  1. Start Early

It can be very stressful if you are running short on time when it comes to packing. Lack of time leads to disorganization and poorly packing items that you don’t want to get damaged in transit. The more things you have to pack up, the earlier you need to start. For example, you can start with space and items you don’t use as often as others and gradually pack up the things you use the most.
  1. Get Some Help

Packing up should not just be left to one person. If you have older kids, then get them in on the project. This will also help avoid them asking where things are later because they will be responsible for organizing and packing some of their items. This is a great time for teens to go through and get rid of what they no longer use. Consider hiring a local New York moving company to take the hassle out of the process.

4 Tips to Prepare You to Move Into a New Office

4 Tips to Prepare You for your new york city office move

Moving from home-to-home is one thing, but moving an entire office space is a whole different monster to tackle. After getting countless calls from frustrated customers trying to relocate their office without any prior preparation, our New York City office movers at Divine Moving decided to provide 4 insightful tips to facilitate this process. Keep in mind, these tips are meant to assist you in preparing to move your office space to a new location. We highly recommend getting in touch with our highly skilled team of professionals to make your move a cake-walk!

Create a Time Frame and Schedule 

Managing your time is vital to ensure that your move is an easy one. Figure out a good time to begin informing employees and clients about the move, packing all office equipment and choosing a move out date. Having a schedule with plans helps to keep you organized and prevents any unwanted stress.

Plan a New Office Layout 

Most people tend to just focus on moving all of their belongings out and attempt to figure the rest along the way. This is a major flaw that many of our customers attempted to do before contacting us. Make sure that you design an interactive and productive space for your staff. Mapping out where each department will be in the office as well as distributing the furniture will assist the movers when bringing everything into the new office.

Label Everything According to Department 

To avoid major confusion, it is smart to label every box that you pack. Marking it by what’s physically in the boxes can be unproductive. Rather, try to label each box to indicate its respective department. This will allow the department members to locate and unload their belongings in a timely manner.

Hire New York City Office Movers 

Finally, the last step involves hiring a skilled and experienced team of New York City office movers. Essentially, this step should be thought of during the beginning of your moving process, but should be handled last. Completing the previous steps are great ways to prepare yourself for the transition. When hiring a moving company, it’s important to make sure they are a credible and accomplished company. Movers reduce the bulk of the stress involved in relocating, and take on the bulk of the labor. Divine Moving has been moving New Yorkers since 2000. Our team includes expert movers that will facilitate the move of your office in the big apple. Divine Moving makes it our business to help people move safely and smoothly.

New York Moving Company — Divine Moving & Storage

Looking for a trusted moving company in New York City? :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} specializes in full-service moving throughout the city and metropolitan area — apartment to apartment, townhouse, condo, office relocations, and more. With flat-rate quotes, licensed & insured crews, and decades of NYC experience, we make your move seamless. Below are the most frequently asked questions about our New York moving company services.

What makes Divine a top New York moving company?

We are fully licensed and insured for NYC moves, provide guaranteed flat-rate pricing, operate our own professional moving crews (no subcontractors), and handle all building requirements (like Certificate of Insurance, elevator reservation, loading-zone coordination). With over 25 years of experience in New York, we know the city’s move-in/out challenges inside and out.

How do I get a quote from your moving company in New York?

Call 212-244-4011 or fill out our online quote form. We’ll review your pickup and delivery addresses in New York, list of items or major furniture, building access (elevator vs walk-up), packing/unpacking needs, and any storage or disposal services you require. Then we’ll provide a flat-rate quote — inclusive of truck, crew, labor, travel time, fuel, tolls, and building compliance.

What types of moves do you handle as a New York moving company?

We handle local moves within NYC, borough-to-borough relocations, cross-town moves, long-distance moves out of the city, commercial office moves, and combined moving + storage jobs. Whether it’s a studio apartment, a multi-bed condo, or a corporate suite, we tailor our moving plan to fit.

What does the flat-rate quote include?

Our quote covers the moving truck and crew, labor for loading/unloading, travel time from our Manhattan location, standard stairs or elevator access, protective moving blankets and padding, fuel and tolls, and standard Certificate of Insurance (COI) if required by your building. No hourly rates, no hidden fees—what we quote is what you pay.

How do you manage New York building regulations and access issues?

New York buildings often require elevator reservations, loading-dock signage, and an approved COI. Our team liaises with building management, handles permit or elevator bookings, and ensures our insurance paperwork is submitted on time. We protect your building, your items, and your schedule.

Can you provide packing, unpacking, storage or furniture disposal services?

Yes. As part of our full-service offering we can pack your belongings using professional materials, unpack and set up your new location, store items in our climate-controlled warehouse, and dispose of or donate unwanted furniture. Each of these services can be integrated into your flat-rate moving package.

Are you insured and will you handle the required Certificate of Insurance (COI)?

Yes — we’re fully licensed and insured for New York and the Tri-State area. If your building demands a COI, we will generate it and submit it to your management team at no extra charge. We always provide proof of insurance and compliance to give you peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book your moving company services?

Because New York move-in/out slots fill quickly (especially in condos and co-ops), we recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance. That said, we also accommodate short-notice moves when possible—call us and we’ll check availability promptly.

What if my move changes or building access issues arise on moving day?

If your item list changes significantly (e.g., extra furniture) or your building changes elevator/parking access, we’ll re-evaluate the quote and let you know. For minor delays like elevator time shifts, our crew is trained to adapt and will keep you informed. Your rate remains unless there’s a major scope change.

There can be a lot on someone’s plate as they start preparing for a moving job (like moving supplies). Looking into hiring the right local moving company, selecting a date and renting a van or truck, and getting the right help for the job can all seem like a lot of work. Some people have shown up for the moving job with their friends, ready to get the load moving supplies, without ever acquiring more than a box or two to get the job done.

moving supplies nyc New York moving companies are experts at knowing what moving supplies will be needed for a particular job. But those who don’t have this experience may have a harder time knowing what supplies to pick up to help them during their move. While the exact supplies that are needed will vary from job to job, there are a few things that will come in handy for everyone that is moving.

Supplies for those Moving

Rubber Wheel Dollies

Anyone that’s ever moved knows that the dolly is your best friend. The dolly can be used to easily move two or even three boxes. It also comes in handy when trying to move heavy furniture such as desks or cupboards. The dolly can be used to efficiently move objects that are too heavy to be moved conventionally, even with a number of people. A group of movers each armed with a dolly have the capability of moving a large number of items in little time. The rubber wheel on the dollies also helps them not scratch the surfaces they come into contact with in homes or apartments.

Moving Blankets

Moving blankets are simple, but are a necessity when moving things made of glass or wood. These items could chip or break easily if not moved with extreme care. Fragile items are kept from breaking by having blankets between them to keep the surfaces from colliding in a moving truck or van. Blankets can also be used to protect floors, though floor protectors are preferable to blankets.

Floor Protectors

Masonite is a type of hardboard used to protect floors. Masonite board also allows dollies to roll along easily and effortlessly, preventing any unwanted scratches to the floor. These floor protectors are a great help to moving companies who need them to

Variety of Boxes

There are a number of different boxes that will be needed in a moving job. Boxes and moving supplies come in all shapes and sizes and each size has a particular use. The main advantage of boxes when someone is moving is that they are easy to stack and can fit nicely into a tight space, where others would be unable to fit.

Tape, Shrink Wrap, Tie Downs

There are a variety of different packing and moving supplies that will be needed as well. Tape is used to secure boxes, which may close on their own but are more secure when tied down with duct tape. Having a pair of box cutters will help as well, as getting in and out of the boxes post-move can be difficult depending on the type of tape used. As far as the move itself, tie downs help secure furniture or boxes and keep them from sliding around the moving truck or van. Divine Moving is the premiere moving company in New York City!

Packing Tip: To Fold or Roll Clothes When Moving?

When moving in New York City there is no doubt a lack of luggage space at times. That’s why it is so important to pack efficiently and utilize all available space. There are many available methods for packing a suitcase and for assembling a load of boxes to be able to move to a new home or apartment, but one of the most complicated packing items can be. There are two general methods of packing clothes, the most obvious being folding. The next is a little less obvious but is at times far more efficient, and is the rolling of clothes. This is the method used in the military, believe it or not, and is sometimes regarded as the most efficient way to pack clothes when moving.

Methods of Packing

Folding

Folding clothes has its own perks, but it is not the most efficient way when the most important thing is saving space. The biggest advantage of this method is that it is far better at keeping clothes from getting wrinkled and keeping them in prime condition. On a business trip, folding up the clothes for the suitcase is most likely a better option. However, when moving in New York City chances are that while folding may be the easier and more comfortable option, there may be better ways to go about assembling the clothes for the move if space is the most important thing.

Rolling

While this method may be more unfamiliar to some, it has its advantages while moving in New York City, or anywhere else for that matter.  Rolling clothes is more efficient at saving space because when those T-shirts or blue jeans are rolled up, they are compressed and are able take up less volume. That means more of them will fit into a box or suitcase than a mover ever thought possible. For that reason, rolling clothes is considered by many to be a better option for packing for a move. If this option seems preferable, it is really very simple. Simply fold the article of clothing in half, and if there are sleeves fold them as well. At this point, roll it tightly and until It resembles the shape of a thin tube. Now it’s ready to be stacked I the suitcase or box with the other clothes of its type. When getting ready for a move, the important thing is to keep things as stress-free as possible. If that means using less space, it is recommended that the rolling method is used. If space is not an issue and there are plenty of boxes or suitcases, then the more traditional method of folding the clothes can work as well.
