Franklin Township is Kemblesville and the Route 896 corridor. It holds newer homes on two to five acres, older farms along Big Elk Creek, and a fifteen-minute run to Newark, Delaware, and I-95. Many families here came up from Delaware for the land and the Avon Grove schools. LiteMovers has moved Franklin households since 2007, most of them across a state line.

Up From Delaware
The most common Franklin move starts in Newark, Hockessin, or Pike Creek and ends on a few acres off Route 896. It is fifteen minutes and crosses a state line, so it is an interstate move. We are licensed for it, plan the paperwork at booking, and run the job on one crew. See moving to Delaware for the return direction and Maryland movers for Elkton and beyond.
Large Lots and Long Drives
Franklin’s newer homes sit on paved drives built for trucks, though some run long and climb toward the house. The older farms along Big Elk Creek have gravel lanes with barns. We scout every drive on the estimate and bring a shorter truck when the drive turns or the trees hang low. Outbuildings are inventoried with the house.

When Big Elk Creek Rises
Roads along Big Elk Creek and its branches close in high water, and the older bridges go first. We check the forecast the day before and route over Route 896 or Route 841 when the creek is up. The start time moves if it has to. Creek-side lanes are scheduled away from the morning after heavy rain.
Avon Grove Schools and Timing
Franklin is in the Avon Grove School District. Summer and late August book three to four weeks out. Spring and fall are easier. Downsizing families use our senior moving team, and anything not making the trip goes to donation or junk removal. Long-distance departures use the I-95 access for dedicated trucks south; see East Coast moving.

Mostly. Newer homes off Route 896, Appleton Road, and Church Hill Road have paved drives built for cars and trucks, though some are long and climb. We scout on the estimate and bring a shorter truck when the drive turns or the trees hang low.
Do Big Elk Creek roads flood?
The low crossings do. Roads along Big Elk Creek and its branches close in high water, and the township’s older bridges go first. We check the forecast the day before and route over Route 896 or Route 841 when the creek is up. The start time moves if it has to.
Can you move us to Newark or Elkton?
Yes. Newark is fifteen minutes down Route 896, and Elkton, Maryland, is twenty by Route 213. We are licensed for interstate moves to both states, so the job runs on one estimate and one crew with no handoff. Our Delaware and Maryland pages cover the longer routes.
