What to Expect When Moving in New Westminster

New Westminster presents unique moving considerations due to its mix of heritage homes, high-rise developments, and diverse neighborhoods. Here's what you should know:

Queens Park and other heritage areas feature beautiful Victorian and Edwardian homes with narrow staircases, detailed woodwork, and unique layouts. These require specialized moving techniques and extra care to protect original features.

Heritage Home Challenges

Downtown and Quayside condos typically require elevator booking, move-in deposits, and specific loading zone access. Many buildings have time restrictions and require advance coordination with strata management.

High-Rise Requirements

Many New Westminster streets, especially in heritage areas, have limited parking. Narrow streets and steep hills can add complexity. Professional movers familiar with the area know the best strategies for each neighborhood.
