Moving to Alexandria 22301: what to know.

Apartment and condo buildings usually ask for a certificate of insurance and a reserved freight elevator or loading dock time. Ask your building early, for both the old place and the new one.
Near the Metro, many buildings book move-ins in set time windows. Lock in your elevator slot first, then pick the moving date around it.
I-66, I-495 and I-95 traffic makes moving-day timing hard to predict. With a flat rate, a slow Beltway costs you time, not money.

Local moves in 22301 start at $240 for a 1-bedroom apartment and $780 for a 2-bedroom house. One flat rate, no deposit.
