Moving in a Suburb That Mixes Older Homes and New Density
St Johns has seen steady residential development over the past decade, and that growth is reflected in the mix of property types across the suburb. Older homes on generous sections in the established streets sit alongside newer townhouse clusters that have been built at higher density around the central areas. Those two types of property come with very different conditions on moving day.
Older homes often have longer driveways, more generous access, and single-entry points that are straightforward to plan around. Newer medium-density developments frequently have shared driveways, height-restricted undercover parking, and less room to manoeuvre a truck. Getting the approach right before the day matters considerably in those situations.
Burly Boys Moving handles both property types regularly. We confirm access details at the collection and delivery addresses before the move, identify any restrictions, and bring the right equipment for the job. That preparation means fewer surprises on the day and a smoother move overall.

Moving Between St Johns, the Eastern Bays, and the Inner East
St Johns sits between the Eastern Bays and Glen Innes, bordered by the open space of Colin Maiden Park to the south and the Stonefields development to the north. The suburb’s residential character is a mix of the long-established and the newly developed, which reflects the gradual change in land use that has taken place over recent years.
The streets around the park and the older parts of the suburb tend to have larger sections with standalone homes. Closer to the Stonefields boundary and along some of the main arterials, newer townhouse and terrace developments are more common. Both types are serviced regularly for residential moves.
Moves between St Johns and surrounding suburbs including Meadowbank, Orakei, Glen Innes, and Stonefields are frequent. The suburb’s position between the Eastern Bays and the inner east makes it a common connection point for people relocating across that part of Auckland.
We work across all parts of St Johns and plan each move around the specific conditions at your property rather than using a standardised approach.

About St. Johns
St Johns is a quiet, established suburb in East Auckland, sitting between the Eastern Bays to the east and Glen Innes to the west. The suburb is largely residential in character, with a mix of older homes on generous sections and a growing number of medium-density developments that have been built as the area has intensified over the past ten to fifteen years.
Colin Maiden Park forms a significant green boundary to the south of the suburb and is a popular recreational space for local families. The park connects to wider cycling and walking routes that run through the eastern suburbs, making St Johns appealing for those who want suburban space with access to open areas nearby.
The Stonefields development borders St Johns to the north and has brought a significant amount of new housing into the area over a relatively short period. The contrast between that newer development and the older residential streets gives St Johns a layered character that is still evolving.
Access to the wider city is straightforward from St Johns, with main roads connecting through to Glen Innes, Panmure, and the Southeastern motorway. The suburb is close enough to the Eastern Bays to benefit from the coastline without being immediately on it, which suits families and professionals looking for suburban calm with good transport links.
Moving in St Johns requires an understanding of how access conditions differ between the older and newer parts of the suburb. Shared driveways, height restrictions, and body corporate access rules apply in some of the newer developments, while the older streets are more straightforward in terms of truck access and parking.

I used them a week ago and found them amazing. They had great communication before and after the move. They arrived on time, made a clear plan, and got straight into the work.
There was no damage, and the price was very fair for the work done. They even finished earlier than expected and refunded part of the total cost, which was very honest of them.
I would highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. They made my move so much less stressful.
A big thank you!
Moving is usually stressful, but the team made the whole day feel so much easier. They showed up on time, got straight into it, and worked incredibly hard without ever making us feel rushed. They were careful with our furniture (even the big, awkward pieces!), and everything arrived in perfect condition.
What I appreciated most was how friendly and down-to-earth they were. It didn’t feel like “just another job” to them — they actually cared about doing things properly. They checked in with us throughout the move and made sure everything was placed exactly where we wanted it.
Fair pricing, great communication, and just genuinely good people to deal with.
