Moving to Baltimore 21215: 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 21215 start at $240 for a 1-bedroom apartment and $780 for a 2-bedroom house. One flat rate, no deposit.
