Your two addresses are usually enough to start.

Head east past the Industrial Canal and you’re in St. Bernard Parish, where Chalmette offers some of the most affordable rent anywhere in the Greater New Orleans metro. It’s a longer commute back to campus than Metairie or Gretna, but the savings are real, and it’s why we keep seeing budget-conscious students and young families choose Chalmette over closer, pricier options. It’s a trade our office explains honestly on every call: more square footage and lower rent, in exchange for a longer drive to class.

Rebuilt housing stock worth knowing about

Chalmette’s homes were heavily rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina, so a lot of what our crews move in and out of is newer construction than you’d find in older parts of the city — different foundation heights, different stair configurations, and generally more consistent layouts. Fast Affordable College Student Movers has adjusted its local moving approach accordingly; Crew Chief Jamal Broussard, who handles a lot of our long-distance and rigging jobs, knows the parish well enough to flag any tricky driveway situations before move day.

Because Chalmette sits further out, a good number of our jobs there are full-household residential moving rather than single-room dorm hauls. If you’re consolidating from a bigger place, ask about full-service packing so nothing gets left behind on the trip east. The extra distance from campus is the tradeoff — the rent savings are the payoff.

We also handle a fair share of long-distance arrivals out this way — families relocating to St. Bernard Parish from out of state who found a bigger, more affordable house than they could get closer to Orleans Parish. Our long-distance moving service handles that hand-off, and if the new place has a gun safe or a piece of heavy furniture already in it, our safe moving crew brings the equipment to move it without damaging the newer flooring.
