Elkins Park grew up around Gilded Age estates on Old York Road, and it still has the houses to show it. Think grand staircases, plaster walls, art, antiques, and pianos. Along the same road sit mid-rise condos and apartments near the Elkins Park station, and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Beth Sholom Synagogue anchors the neighborhood. LiteMovers has moved Elkins Park households since 2007.
Old York Road, Old Houses
- ✓Large early-1900s homes: grand staircases, plaster walls, and long carries
- ✓Pianos, art, and antiques: boards, crates, and a named inventory
- ✓Condos and apartments on Old York Road: elevators, management rules, and COIs
- ✓Downsizers: from a large house to a condo down the road
Elkins Park is part of Cheltenham Township. Up Old York Road is Jenkintown. Next door are Glenside and Abington.
Pianos, Antiques, and Plaster Walls
Elkins Park homes are full of pieces that cannot be replaced. Grand pianos ride on a board with a crew trained for them. Antiques are wrapped as case pieces, art and mirrors go in custom crates, and high-value items are listed by name. Plaster walls and old banisters get extra padding because they dent and crack where drywall would not. Our packing team handles the collection.
Condos and Apartments on the Road
The mid-rise buildings along Old York Road and near the Elkins Park station run on management rules. We book the freight elevator, send a certificate of insurance, pad the elevator and corridors, and finish inside the move window. See apartment moving for how building moves work.

Old York Road Traffic
Old York Road, Route 611, carries steady traffic between Jenkintown and the city, and it backs up at rush hour. We load early and travel midday. For side streets we come in from Church Road or Ashbourne Road instead of sitting on the main road. Station-area blocks fill with commuter cars on weekday mornings.
Schools and Downsizing
Elkins Park is in the Cheltenham School District, and summer dates book three to four weeks out. Many long-time owners move to a condo nearby. We move what fits, hold the rest in our warehouse, and send what is not kept to consignment or donation.
Long Carries and Grand Staircases
Some Elkins Park homes sit well back from the street, with front walks, terraces, and steps that add a long carry to every piece. Inside, grand staircases are wide but often have a turn at the landing that tests long sofas. We measure both on the estimate, bring extra dollies for the walk, and add a crew member when the carry is long.
