Bensalem has more people than any other town in Bucks County. The 2020 census counted 62,707 residents across about 21 square miles. It sits right on the Philadelphia line, between the Poquessing Creek and the Neshaminy Creek, with the Delaware River along its southeast edge.
Census data shows that nearly four in ten Bensalem homes are rented. That means a lot of apartment, condo and townhome moves, many tied to a lease end date. LiteMovers builds Bensalem moves around building rules, elevator time and parking lots, not just miles.
Apartment and Condo Moves in Bensalem
Complex moves have their own checklist. Property managers may want a certificate of insurance before we arrive. Some buildings book the elevator in time blocks. Others limit moves to set hours or certain days.
Send Us These Before Moving Day
- ✓Your building or complex move-in and move-out rules.
- ✓The name and email for the property manager.
- ✓Any certificate of insurance form the building needs.
- ✓Your elevator reservation window, if there is one.
- ✓Your floor number and the distance from the door to the truck.
With this list in hand, we can size the crew and the truck to fit. For a smaller unit, a van often works better in a crowded lot than a big box truck. Learn more about our apartment movers and our small moves service.
Townhome Moves
Townhomes bring stairs instead of elevators. Three levels of stairs can turn a short move into a long day. We protect rails and walls, and we take apart beds and big tables on each floor. Shared parking areas mean we park close but leave room for neighbors.
Bensalem Roads and Moving Day Traffic
Few Bucks towns have this many major roads. Interstate 95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike cross the township. U.S. Route 1 and U.S. Route 13, known as Bristol Pike, carry heavy local traffic. Street Road, Woodhaven Road and Hulmeville Road link it all together.
| Road | What It Means for Your Move |
|---|---|
| Street Road (Route 132). | Busy commercial corridor, so we plan around peak hours. |
| U.S. Route 1. | Main link toward Trevose and Northeast Philadelphia. |
| Interstate 95. | Fast path to Philadelphia or north toward Trenton. |
| Pennsylvania Turnpike. | Quick route west across the region. |
| Bristol Pike (Route 13). | Runs through Eddington and Cornwells Heights near the river. |
We try to load in the morning and drive before the evening rush. When your move crosses I-95 or the Turnpike, that timing can save real hours.

Neighborhoods and Train Stations
Bensalem is made up of several communities, including Andalusia, Cornwells Heights, Eddington, Trevose, Bridgewater and Oakford. Many residents ride SEPTA Regional Rail. The Trenton Line stops at Cornwells Heights and Eddington. The West Trenton Line stops at Trevose and Neshaminy Falls.
Cornwells Heights also has Amtrak service and a park-and-ride lot. That is a big draw for people who work in Philadelphia, Trenton or New York. If you are picking a new home near a station, plan your move day around commuter parking.

Schools and Timing
Public schools here are run by the Bensalem Township School District. It has six elementary schools, two middle schools and Bensalem High School. Families often move in summer so kids can start the new year in one place.
Many leases also end on the first or last day of the month. Those dates book up fast in summer. A mid-month or weekday move can be easier to schedule.

Bensalem Apartment and Home Moving FAQs
Do Bensalem apartment complexes need a certificate of insurance?
Many do, so ask your property manager early. A certificate of insurance shows the building that the movers carry coverage. Send us the form or the manager's contact, and LiteMovers will handle the request before moving day.
Can you move me out of a third-floor walk-up in Bensalem?
Yes, stairs are a normal part of many Bensalem moves. We bring enough crew for the climb and protect rails and walls. Large items like beds and tables are taken apart so they turn the landings safely.
What is the best day to move out of a Bensalem apartment?
A weekday in the middle of the month is often easiest. Many leases end on the first or last day of the month, so those days fill fast. Book early if your lease date is fixed.
Which train stations are in Bensalem?
Bensalem has four SEPTA Regional Rail stations. Cornwells Heights and Eddington are on the Trenton Line. Trevose and Neshaminy Falls are on the West Trenton Line. Cornwells Heights also has Amtrak service and a park-and-ride lot.
Can LiteMovers store my things between apartment leases?
Yes, we can store your items between leases. Your belongings go into sealed wooden vaults in a private warehouse near King of Prussia. Each vault has a signed inventory and video watch around the clock. We deliver when your new place is ready.
Do you move small Bensalem condos and studios?
Yes, we handle small moves often. A studio or one-bedroom may need only a van and a small crew. That makes parking easier in busy complex lots. Tell us what you have, and we will match the truck to the job.
What affects the cost of a Bensalem move?
Cost depends on how much you own, how far you are going and how long loading takes. Elevators, stairs, long walks to the truck and packing all add time. We give a free estimate once we know your details.
