From your cats perspective, moving to a new home or apartment is like moving to a new planet. There may be steep mountains to climb (stairs), and dangerous cliffs to avoid (balconies). There will be foreign terrain (carpet/ flooring) and dark scary caves (basement or storage areas), and also strange smells. The old safe spots and hidey-holes have disappeared. Perhaps even foreign-smelling new furniture has been delivered. Moving is stressful for people too, but at least we are prepared for the changes in store. It may be tempting to throw away the old hairy cat beds, and well used litter boxes when you move, but these "smell" like security and familiarity to your cat. Any change you make will be one more thing that is foreign is a new world of foreign-ness.
Ideally, set up a small room with all the cats favorite "old" things: toys, cat trees, beds, favorite chair, scratching post, blankets, litter boxes, food and water - and remember to add some places to hide. Then use this room for the temporary cat sanctuary. Let them de-stress in the sanctuary (with the door closed) until the moving chaos and noise comes under some control. Exploring the new world at their own pace (once things have settled down), while having access to the sanctuary if scared, is the perfect way to accustom them to their new home. Allow the sanctuary to exist as long as they need this added security. You will know when they have conquered the new world with the first midnight relay race thru the house!
