Residential Moving in New Orleans

Not every move we run is a dorm room or a studio apartment. Families and long-term residents across Metairie, Kenner, and the rest of Greater New Orleans call Fast Affordable College Student Movers for full household relocations too, and the same crew that threads a dorm mattress through a stairwell in August is fully capable of moving a four-bedroom house in Gretna.

What’s included

Residential moves include a full walkthrough or phone inventory, furniture blanket-wrapping and disassembly, appliance handling, and careful loading sequenced so nothing shifts in transit. We move houses, doubles, townhomes, and full apartments, and we’ll bring in additional crew for larger square footage rather than stretching a two-person team past what it can safely handle.

Who this serves

Homeowners, renters upgrading out of a starter apartment, and families relocating within the metro all use this service. It runs separately from our local moving and dorm and apartment moving pages because the scope is different — a full house has appliances, patio furniture, and garage contents that a studio apartment simply doesn’t. If your move also needs full packing, our packing services pair directly with a residential move for one combined quote.

Pricing factors

Square footage, number of bedrooms, stairs, and distance between properties drive the estimate. A house in Chalmette moving to a double in Carrollton is priced differently than a two-bedroom apartment move, and Desiree will walk through room-by-room detail with you so the quote matches what’s actually getting loaded, not a rough guess.

Team callout

Larger residential jobs typically get a mixed crew, and Katie Sonnier often leads them alongside Jamal when a move includes both bulky furniture and a full kitchen pack-out. Her four years running high-volume apartment turnovers translate directly to keeping a household move organized room by room instead of everything landing in one pile at the new place.

Scheduling around the academic calendar

Residential moves aren’t tied to the semester calendar the way student moves are, which actually works in your favor — booking outside August move-in and May move-out weeks means more schedule flexibility and often better rates, since our trucks aren’t stretched across a hundred campus-area turnovers at once.
