How We Plan a City to Suburb Move
The Philadelphia side
City moves come with tight streets and busy curbs. Many blocks need temporary no-parking signs for a truck. High-rises in Center City need elevator bookings and a Certificate of Insurance. Rowhomes have steep stairs and small doorways. We sort all of this out before move day.
The Ardmore side
Ardmore has its own rules. New buildings near the station need loading times and COIs. Walk-ups on Lancaster Avenue have steep stairs. Twin homes may share a driveway. We check the new address and plan the unload as carefully as the load.
The drive
Most trips take the Schuylkill Expressway, City Avenue, or Montgomery Avenue. Traffic changes a lot by time of day. We plan the start time so the crew is not stuck on I-76 at rush hour.
Read our guides on moving day parking permits, moving COIs, and elevator reservations.
Before Your City to Suburb Move
- ✓Ask both buildings for their move rules, loading hours, and COI details.
- ✓Book elevator times at both ends as soon as you have a date.
- ✓Check if your Philadelphia block needs no-parking signs.
- ✓Measure big furniture. City pieces sometimes do not fit suburban stairs, and the reverse.
- ✓Set up PECO, water, and internet at the new place before move day.
- ✓Keep a first-night box with chargers, meds, and bedding.
Storage Between Leases
City leases and suburban leases do not always line up. If your Ardmore apartment is not ready, we can hold your things in our climate-monitored warehouse and deliver when it is. You get one crew and one company from pickup to delivery.
