Kennett Township is Longwood Gardens country. It holds the estates and horse farms around Route 52, the Kendal-Crosslands retirement communities, Mendenhall, and the Route 1 corridor south of the borough. It is also the gateway to Delaware. LiteMovers has moved Kennett Township families, retirees, and estates since 2007. Our crews know which days Longwood traffic shuts down Route 1.
Who Moves in Kennett Township
- ✓Retirees: into Kendal at Longwood, Crosslands, and the cottages and apartments around them
- ✓Estate and farm families: stone houses off Route 52, Hillendale, and the lanes toward Mendenhall
- ✓Cross-border movers: Hockessin, Greenville, and Wilmington are minutes away
- ✓Borough-to-township moves: leaving a Kennett Square Victorian for a bigger lot south of Route 1
The township shares the Kennett Square (19348) postal address with the borough, so the street tells us which move it is. Borough streets near State Street are tight and need a shorter truck. Township drives off Route 52 take a full-size truck but may run a quarter mile. Borough and township moves are both ours.
Kendal-Crosslands Moves
Kendal at Longwood and Crosslands are two of the region’s best-known retirement communities, and we have moved many residents in. Each has a move-in coordinator, loading rules, and cottage layouts that reward planning. Our senior moving team draws a floor plan from the community’s dimensions, packs in stages, and sets up the apartment or cottage the same day. Pieces that will not fit go to family, consignment, or donation on the same trip.
Longwood Traffic and the Mushroom Festival
Route 1 and Route 52 carry Longwood Gardens traffic on event days, holiday light weeks, and the September Mushroom Festival weekend. A move on those days needs an early start and a back route. We check the Longwood calendar when you book, load by late morning, and use Route 926 or Hillendale Road when the main roads stall.

Estates, Antiques, and Art
Many township homes are stone houses with generations of furniture, paintings, and mirrors. We build custom crates for art and marble, wrap every case piece, and list high-value items by name on the inventory. For a full estate, we staff a larger crew and walk the house room by room with you before move day. Long gravel drives and barns are normal here, and we size the truck for them.
Crossing Into Delaware
Kennett Township is minutes from Hockessin, Greenville, Centreville, and Wilmington. Many moves cross the state line in either direction. We are licensed for interstate work, so a Kennett to Delaware move runs on one estimate and one crew. See moving to Delaware for the details, or long-distance moving for farther routes.

Kennett Township borders Pennsbury, East Marlborough, Pocopson, and Avondale. Chadds Ford is ten minutes east. The full list is on the Chester County movers hub.
Kennett Township Moving Questions
Do you move residents into Kendal-Crosslands?
Yes, regularly. Kendal at Longwood and Crosslands have move-in coordinators, loading-area rules, and cottage and apartment layouts that reward a floor plan made in advance. We work from that plan, pad the corridors, and set up the new home the same day so residents sleep in their own bed.
What is the difference between Kennett Township and Kennett Square?
Kennett Square is the borough, with the State Street downtown and tight Victorian streets. Kennett Township wraps around it: Longwood, the Route 1 and 52 corridors, Mendenhall, and the farms to the south. We move both, but the township moves tend to be larger homes with longer driveways.
How do you handle the Route 1 and Route 52 traffic near Longwood?
We plan around it. Longwood Gardens event days and the Mushroom Festival weekend slow Route 1 and Route 52 for hours. We check the Longwood calendar when you book and start early. When the main roads back up, the truck takes Route 926 or Hillendale Road.
Can you move antiques and art from a Kennett Township estate?
Yes. Many township homes hold several generations of furniture and art. We build custom crates for paintings, mirrors, and marble, pad and wrap every case piece, and list high-value items by name on the inventory. Full-estate moves get a larger crew and a room-by-room plan.
Do you cross into Delaware from Kennett?
Yes. Kennett Township sits a few minutes from Hockessin, Greenville, and Wilmington, and many moves cross the state line. We are licensed for interstate moves, so a Kennett to Delaware job runs on one estimate and one crew without a handoff.
Is Unionville-Chadds Ford’s calendar the busy season?
Yes. Kennett Township is in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District, and families move in summer and the weeks before Labor Day. Retirement moves into Kendal-Crosslands run all year, so spring and fall are easier for everyone.
