A Commuter Borough
- ✓Station-area streets: full of commuter cars by 7 a.m., so moves start after 9 or on Saturdays
- ✓Rowhomes and twins: narrow stairs, porches a few steps up, shared walls, on-street parking
- ✓Hill streets: some too steep to park a loaded truck, so we chock, load uphill, or stage nearby
- ✓Philadelphia arrivals: city renters buying for the train, moved on one crew

Around the Trains
Streets near the station fill with commuter cars by 7 a.m. on weekdays, and the lots belong to riders. We schedule station-area moves after 9 a.m. or on Saturdays, set cones the evening before when the household can, and keep the truck off the station lots. For addresses farther up the hill, the trains do not matter and we start at 8.
Rowhomes, Twins, and Hill Streets
Parkesburg’s rowhomes and twins have narrow turning stairs, porches a few steps up, and shared walls that get corner guards and runners. We send a shorter truck and use straps for sofas and box springs that cannot turn. On the steepest hill streets we chock the wheels, load from the uphill side, or stage around the corner and carry. Our Chester County packing crews box a rowhome in a morning.

Parkesburg Moving Questions
Why do commuters move to Parkesburg?
The train. Parkesburg’s Amtrak station is on the Keystone Line, with service to Philadelphia, Lancaster, and Harrisburg. Commuters buy a rowhome or twin a few blocks from the platform and skip the Route 30 drive. Most of our Parkesburg moves are within walking distance of the station.
Does the station affect move-day parking?
Yes. Streets near the station fill with commuter cars by 7 a.m. on weekdays, and the station lots are for riders. We schedule station-area moves after 9 a.m. or on Saturdays, set cones the evening before when we can, and keep the truck off the station lots.
Which school district is Parkesburg in?
Octorara Area School District. Families time moves for summer, but Octorara dates are among the easiest in the county to book. Commuter moves follow job changes rather than the school calendar, so Parkesburg stays busy year-round.
What are Parkesburg’s homes like to move?
Rowhomes and twins on Main Street and the blocks around it, plus older single-family homes on the hill streets. Stairs are narrow, porches are a few steps up, and parking is on the street. We send a shorter truck, protect shared walls, and use straps for the pieces that cannot turn.
Are Parkesburg’s hill streets a problem for a moving truck?
On the steepest blocks, yes. The borough climbs north from Main Street, and some streets are too steep to park a loaded truck safely. We chock the wheels, load from the uphill side, and stage around the corner when needed. Winter moves start later so the hills have thawed.
Do you move people from Philadelphia out to Parkesburg?
Yes, and it is a growing route. City renters who work downtown buy in Parkesburg for the train and the price. We handle the Philadelphia end, with its permits and tight streets, and the Parkesburg end on one crew. See our Philadelphia movers page for the city side.
