Moving to Baltimore 21214: what to know.

  • Baltimore rowhouse blocks are narrow, and curb space goes fast. Plan where the truck will stop, and ask neighbors to leave room on moving day if your block allows it.
  • Rowhouse stairs are steep and turns are tight, so big pieces sometimes come apart to fit. Tell us what's going up or down when you book.
  • 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.

Local moves in 21214 start at $240 for a 1-bedroom apartment and $780 for a 2-bedroom house. One flat rate, no deposit.
