Moving Companies
One of the many benefits of The Gadsden is its location in Historic Downtown Charleston. Because of its urban location, we will follow a structured move-in schedule to streamline the process. When we first open, we will schedule three move-ins a day, Monday through Saturday, with four-hour increments for each move. Once we set your closing date, we will work with you to schedule your move-in date and time. Moving can be stressful, but we are here to help. We recommend the following moving companies who have moved others into East West Communities and are familiar with our move-in process.
