Get it & load it

We deliver your container, and to ensure your safety, take your time loading on your schedule, right in your driveway. And with Priority Scheduling options, you can take control of a specific delivery and pickup time window that works for you. If you want help, your PODS personal moving and storage team will connect you with local packing and loading companies.

Keep it

At-home storage gives you the flexibility you need, whether you want easy storage just steps away, or you want to take your time packing and loading.

Store it

If you need temporary storage, we'll pick up your loaded container and bring it to a local PODS Storage Center, where it will be safe, secure, and easily accessible until you need it again.

Move it

We've got this, so you don't have to. We'll deliver your container to your new home, whether you're moving across town or across the country*. If you need to ship your car, we can connect you with one of our preferred car shipping providers who will arrange professional services in your area.

Syracuse, New York, enjoys a highly diversified economy, with industrial, commercial, and transportation industries acting as major players. Its low cost of living makes Syracuse a desirable destination for New York residents who want a more affordable place to call home. Living here is 39 percent cheaper than the state average. If you're planning a move to Syracuse, PODS moving and storage solutions can help you simplify the process.

Moving to Syracuse

Syracuse offers several distinct neighborhoods for new residents to choose from. Young adults are often drawn to the University neighborhood, which is aptly named for its easy access to Syracuse University and the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. This area is also home to major medical centers, adding to its appeal.

If you're looking for a home with easy access to recreational opportunities, the Strathmore neighborhood is among the best in Syracuse. This area keeps you close to Hiawatha Lake for water-based activities and Onondaga Lake Park for hiking, picnicking, and playgrounds. The park even features a dog park and skate park, so there's something for everyone.

If you're looking for an affluent area with stunning homes, Sedgwick is a top pick, particularly for retirees or families without children. Home values here are 119 percent higher than Syracuse as a whole, but you'll also enjoy a crime rate 43 percent lower. Schools, however, are not highly rated. If you're looking for an outstanding educational system, try Westcott. Here you'll find high graduation rates, low crime, and affordable housing.

Things to Do and See in Syracuse

If you're ready to take a break from unpacking and get to know your new city better, you'll find lots of options for entertainment around Syracuse. The Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park is home to everything from red wolves to snow leopards and spectacled bears. Keep an eye on the zoo's calendar for special events that’ll enhance your visit.

The Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science and Technology (MOST) offers an engaging experience that's ideal for children. Play with the kinetic sculptures of Technotown, climb through the Science Playhouse, and explore the Earth Science Discovery Cave.

If you're interested in history, don't miss the immersive experiences available at the Erie Canal Museum. The 1850 National Register Weighlock Building is the last of its kind, complete with a full-size replica of a historic canal boat. Permanent exhibits include the weigh chamber, murals, and lock tender's garden. Temporary exhibits keep things fresh, ensuring there's always a good reason to come back for another visit.
