East Marlborough Movers: Unionville, the School Calendar, and Willowdale

East Marlborough Township is Unionville and the countryside around it. That means the village along Route 82, family neighborhoods off Route 926 and Street Road, and estates toward Willowdale. Families move here for one reason above all others, the Unionville-Chadds Ford schools, and they move on the school calendar. LiteMovers has moved East Marlborough families since 2007 and plans every job around that calendar.

Booking Around the Calendar

Late June through mid-August fills four to six weeks out, and the week before school starts is the busiest of our year here. We hold a date the day you call, confirm after the walkthrough, and adjust if the closing slides. Spring and fall dates are open. If the house is not ready when school starts, our warehouse holds the household and we deliver the week you can get in.

Closing after the first day of school? Chester County storage holds everything on one inventory until the keys are yours.

Village, Neighborhoods, and Estates

Unionville village has older homes close to Route 82 with on-street parking, so we send a shorter truck and set cones. The neighborhoods off Route 926, Marlboro Road, and Street Road are colonials with standard driveways that take a full truck. The estates toward Willowdale have long drives and larger households that call for a bigger crew. We size each move on the estimate.

Arriving From Delaware

Hockessin, Greenville, and Wilmington families come up Route 52 and Route 82 for the schools, and the trip is forty minutes. We are licensed for interstate work, so the move runs on one estimate and one crew. See our Delaware page for moves the other direction, and long-distance moving for families arriving from farther away.

Steeplechase Weekend and Other Timing

The Willowdale Steeplechase fills Route 82 and Route 926 on Mother’s Day weekend, so we avoid nearby addresses that Sunday. Otherwise the roads are quiet. Downsizing families leaving a large home for Kendal-Crosslands or a smaller house use our senior moving team. Anything not making the trip goes to donation or junk removal.

East Marlborough Moving Questions

Why do so many families move to East Marlborough?

The Unionville-Chadds Ford School District. Unionville High School and the elementary schools draw families from Delaware, the Main Line, and out of state. Most East Marlborough moves are timed to a school year, and we plan the calendar around it.

When should we book a summer move into Unionville-Chadds Ford schools?

As early as you have a closing date. Late June through mid-August fills four to six weeks out, and the week before school starts is the tightest in the district. We hold a date the day you call and confirm details after the walkthrough. Spring and fall dates are open.

What are East Marlborough’s neighborhoods like for a moving truck?

Mixed. Unionville village has older homes close to Route 82 with on-street parking. The neighborhoods off Route 926, Marlboro Road, and Street Road are colonials on standard driveways. The estates toward Willowdale have long drives. We size the truck for each.

Does the Willowdale Steeplechase affect moving?

On Mother’s Day weekend, yes. The races at Willowdale fill Route 82 and Route 926 with traffic for a day. We avoid nearby addresses that Sunday or start before the gates open. The rest of the year the roads are quiet.

Do you move families in from Delaware?

Often. Hockessin, Greenville, and Wilmington families move up Route 52 and Route 82 for the schools, and the trip is forty minutes. We are licensed for interstate moves, so the job runs on one estimate and one crew with no handoff.

Can you move us in a few days before school starts?

Yes, if you book early. The week before Labor Day is the busiest of our year in this district. We stage the move so bedrooms and the kitchen are set up the first night. School supplies ride in a marked box that comes off the truck first.
