Moving to Narberth: What to Expect
Narberth’s compact layout and established neighborhoods present specific moving considerations. Most apartment buildings front onto tree-lined residential streets with limited loading zone access. New construction properties like Narberth Square and The Elm include dedicated loading areas and elevator access. Historic buildings like Narberth Hall may require furniture protection protocols for narrow hallways and original hardwood floors.
Street parking in downtown Narberth requires strategic planning. LiteMovers coordinates with building management to reserve elevator time and identify optimal loading positions. Our crews understand the difference between Montgomery Avenue access and quieter residential side streets.
