A Stroll Through History
Brooklyn Heights, located in the heart of Brooklyn, is a neighborhood known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and beautiful views. As Brooklyn’s #1 moving company, FlatRate is well-acquainted with the neighborhood’s blend of old-world charm and modern amenities. With its tree-lined streets, historic brownstones, and proximity to Manhattan, Brooklyn Heights has become a sought-after destination for residents and visitors alike.
Neighborhood of Character
Brooklyn Heights is renowned for its well-preserved 19th-century townhouses and historic buildings; distinct architecture, often featuring Greek and Gothic styles. Though older buildings may complicate a move – often they lack elevators or their elevators are too small to practically move furniture – our experienced NYC movers have managed many successful moves through tight, irregularly-shaped city walk-ups, including in Brooklyn Heights. We carefully wrap your items and plan and organize stair-climbing in such a way as to avoid any damage to your items and apartment.
Family-friendly and Vibrant Community
Beyond its architectural wonders, though perhaps in part due to them, Brooklyn Heights is a dynamic, lively, community. Officially New York City’s first historic district, residents have a long, activist history devoted to its architectural preservation. For example, the BQE was originally planned to go right through the neighborhood, but instead it now hugs the very edge with the picturesque Brooklyn Heights Promenade suspended above it. The Heights also shines during the holidays, consistently ranked as NYC’s best neighborhood for trick-or-treaters, with other festive and seasonal events like a public Menorah and tree lighting bringing neighborhood families together. Clients have often cited that our all-inclusive moving services that consist of organizing, carefully packing and unpacking all of your items, including fragile ones, and breaking down furniture, allow them to focus on their families while we take care of the move.
