Moving to Alexandria, VA 22314

This is Old Town Alexandria, from the cobblestone blocks near the waterfront to Parker-Gray and the office and apartment towers of Carlyle. Federal-era row houses on narrow one-way streets mean trucks often park a block away and furniture goes through slim doorways. King St-Old Town and Braddock Road, both on the Blue and Yellow lines, sit within easy walking distance.

Moving to Alexandria 22314: 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 22314 start at $240 for a 1-bedroom apartment and $780 for a 2-bedroom house. One flat rate, no deposit.
