Gladwyne is almost entirely single-family homes on large lots in Lower Merion Township, so few apartment moves start or end inside it. The typical Gladwyne apartment move is a downsize: a long-time homeowner leaving a large house for a condo, an apartment or a senior community. That changes the job. The hard part is deciding what goes, not the elevator booking.
How a Gladwyne downsize works
- Floor-plan walkthrough: we compare your current rooms to the new unit’s floor plan and mark what fits.
- Sort into four groups: move, store, donate or sell, and family pickups. We tag each piece so the crew knows where it goes.
- Pack and protect: full packing for china, crystal, art and books, with heavy furniture padded and wrapped.
- Deliver and set up: beds made up, furniture placed, and the boxes you need first unpacked.
- Clear what’s left: donation runs and junk removal so the house is ready to list.
Where Gladwyne residents move

Long driveways and narrow roads
Pickups in Gladwyne often mean long driveways and narrow, winding roads near Mill Creek. We scout access ahead of time and send the right size truck.
