We’ve been moving families throughout Havertown and Haverford Township since 2007, and we know this community inside and out. From the twin homes along Darby Road to the larger single-family houses in Oakmont, from the apartment buildings near Brookline Boulevard to the historic properties in Manoa—we’ve done hundreds of moves in every corner of Havertown. This is a real neighborhood with character, and we understand exactly how to navigate it on moving day.

Call 610-755-5535 for a straightforward quote with no hidden fees. We’re a local company that’s earned our reputation one careful move at a time.

Why Havertown Residents Choose Litemovers

Moving companies are everywhere. Here’s what actually sets us apart:

We know Havertown. We know the neighborhoods, the street layouts, the parking challenges, which blocks have permit restrictions, and how to time moves around the SEPTA High Speed Line schedule. We know that the row homes and twins have tight staircases and narrow hallways. We know which apartment buildings have elevators and which ones don’t. We know the difference between moving in Oakmont versus Brookline versus Manoa. Local knowledge matters tremendously in this business, and we have it.

We handle your belongings with care. Everything gets wrapped properly. Furniture is protected. Fragile items receive special attention. We move things like they’re our own because honestly, we’d be embarrassed to do anything less. We’ve been in business over 15 years because we do quality work, not because we’re the cheapest option.

Honest pricing, period. When we quote you a price, that’s what you pay. We don’t play the classic moving company game of lowballing the estimate and then hitting you with surprise charges on moving day. Our business model is built on referrals and repeat customers, which means we have to be honest and deliver real value.

We’re reliable and professional. We show up on time, we work efficiently, and we communicate clearly. Our crews are experienced professionals who know what they’re doing. No drama, no surprises, just solid work.

Types of Moves We Handle in Havertown

Havertown has incredibly diverse housing stock, and we’ve handled moves in every type of property here:

Row home and twin home moves: This is classic Havertown housing—twins and row homes with shared walls, tight staircases, and efficient use of space. These moves require skill because you’re working with narrow staircases, tight corners, and often challenging parking situations. We’ve done hundreds of these moves and we know exactly how to navigate the architecture without damaging walls, banisters, or your furniture.

Single-family home relocations: The larger sections of Havertown have detached single-family homes with driveways and yards. These moves are usually more straightforward from a logistics standpoint, but they often involve more stuff—basements, attics, garages, and sheds that have accumulated years worth of belongings.

Apartment and condo moves: Havertown has numerous apartment buildings and condo complexes, each with its own quirks. Some have elevators, some don’t. Some have dedicated loading areas, others have impossible parking. We’ve figured out the logistics for all of them through experience.

Senior downsizing moves: We do a lot of moves where people are transitioning from a long-time family home to something smaller and more manageable—maybe a condo, an apartment, or assisted living. Our packing services are especially valuable for these transitions because sorting through decades of accumulation is overwhelming for most people.

Young family upsizing: The flip side is families who are outgrowing their starter homes and moving to larger properties with more bedrooms and yard space. These moves are exciting but stressful, and we make them as smooth as possible.

College student and young professional moves: Havertown’s proximity to Philadelphia and the colleges in the area means we handle plenty of moves for students and young professionals. Our small move service is perfect for apartments and smaller relocations.

What Makes Havertown Special (And What It Means for Your Move)

Havertown is a classic Philadelphia suburb with its own distinct identity. Here’s what makes it unique:

It’s established and authentic. Unlike some newer suburban developments that feel generic, Havertown has genuine character and history. The downtown shopping district along Darby Road and Manoa Road actually functions as a community center, with local businesses, restaurants, and a real neighborhood feel.

The SEPTA connection is crucial. The SEPTA High Speed Line runs right through Havertown with multiple stations, making Philadelphia commutes easy without a car. This is a major draw for people who work in the city but want suburban living. It also means we have to plan moves around the train schedule and station parking restrictions.

The housing is dense and diverse. You’ve got everything from row homes to substantial single-family houses, from small apartments to larger condos. This diversity means every neighborhood feels slightly different, and each type of housing presents its own moving challenges.

The streets are tight. This isn’t a modern planned development with wide streets and cul-de-sacs. These are older streets designed before everyone had multiple cars, which means parking can be challenging and maneuvering a moving truck requires skill and local knowledge.

The schools drive demand. Haverford Township School District has an excellent reputation, which makes Havertown highly desirable for families. This means housing competition is fierce and you often don’t have much flexibility on move-in dates.

People stay here. Havertown has a lot of long-term residents who’ve lived here for decades. It’s not a transient community—people put down roots, which speaks to the quality of life here.

What to Expect When You Hire Litemovers

Here’s the actual process from start to finish:

Initial contact: Call us at 610-755-5535 or submit a request through our website. We’ll discuss what you’re moving, where you’re going, any special circumstances like stairs or tight parking, and give you an accurate estimate immediately.

Scheduling: We book your move for a date and time that works for you. We work seven days a week and can usually accommodate relatively short notice if needed.

Moving day: We arrive on time—usually within a 15-minute window. Our crew introduces themselves, walks through your home to confirm the plan, and gets straight to work.

The work itself: Everything gets properly wrapped and protected. We work efficiently but carefully. The truck gets loaded strategically to prevent damage during transport.

Delivery and setup: We arrive at your new location and unload everything. Furniture goes where you want it. Boxes get placed in the right rooms. We don’t just dump everything and leave—we set you up for success.

Payment: You pay the agreed-upon price. No surprises, no hidden fees, no last-minute add-ons unless you requested additional services we didn’t discuss upfront.

Our entire approach is designed to make moving as painless as possible. We’ve refined this process over 15 years and thousands of moves.

Havertown Moving Tips Based on Our Experience

After hundreds of moves throughout Havertown, here’s what we’ve learned:

Parking is a real challenge. Many Havertown streets have tight parking, especially in the denser residential areas. Some streets require parking permits. Let us know about parking restrictions ahead of time so we can plan accordingly. We’re experienced at working in tight urban spaces, but advance notice helps.

Row homes and twins need extra time. These properties have narrow staircases and tight corners that require more time and care to navigate with furniture. Don’t be surprised if your estimate is slightly higher for these homes—it’s not that we’re charging more, it’s that these moves genuinely take longer to do properly.

Plan around train schedules if you’re near the stations. SEPTA parking and traffic patterns around the High Speed Line stations affect moving logistics. We factor this in when planning your move.

Summer is peak season. Families want to be settled before school starts, making June through August extremely busy. If you’re moving during peak season, book as early as possible to secure your preferred date.

Consider your basement and attic. Many Havertown homes have substantial basements and attics that accumulate years worth of stuff. When planning your move, make sure you account for everything—people often forget about what’s stored in these spaces until moving day.

Why People Move To Havertown

We hear consistent reasons from people moving into Havertown:

The schools. Haverford Township School District’s reputation draws families from all over the region. If you want excellent public schools without private school tuition, Havertown is on the short list.

Easy Philadelphia access. The High Speed Line makes commuting to Center City simple and affordable. You get suburban living with urban job access—the best of both worlds for many professionals.

Real community feel. Unlike some suburban areas that feel disconnected, Havertown has genuine neighborhood character. People know their neighbors, shop at local businesses, and participate in community life.

Value for money. Compared to some of the pricier Main Line communities, Havertown offers more affordable housing while still providing excellent schools and convenient location.

Walkability. The downtown area and the density of the community mean you can actually walk to restaurants, shops, and services. This is increasingly rare in suburban Philadelphia.

Why People Move From Havertown

The usual reasons apply: job relocations out of state, family changes, retirement to warmer climates, or moving to be closer to adult children elsewhere. Some people eventually want more space and yard than row home living provides and move to less dense areas. Others want to live closer to Philadelphia itself and move into the city.

We also handle plenty of moves within Havertown—people upgrading to larger homes, downsizing to condos, or relocating to different neighborhoods within the same community.
