Moving to Arlington, VA 22206

Shirlington and Fairlington sit along I-395 in South Arlington, with Claremont and the neighborhoods off Walter Reed Drive nearby. Pentagon City, the nearest Metro stop, is almost two miles away, so many people rely on ART and Metrobus routes out of the Shirlington bus station. Fairlington's colonial-style condos and townhouses come with association move rules, and parking can be tight.

Moving to Arlington 22206: what to know.

  • Townhouse and HOA communities often limit where a moving truck can park, and for how long. Check your HOA rules for both homes before moving day.
  • 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.
  • 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 22206 start at $240 for a 1-bedroom apartment and $780 for a 2-bedroom house. One flat rate, no deposit.
