Moving to Sterling, VA 20166

Much of 20166 is Washington Dulles International Airport and the office and data-center corridor along Route 28, with Dulles Town Center on its northern edge. Residential pockets are newer townhouse and condo communities tucked between commercial parks. Two Silver Line stops serve the ZIP, Loudoun Gateway and Washington Dulles International Airport, so a Metro ride into Tysons or DC is realistic here.

Moving to Sterling 20166: 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 20166 start at $240 for a 1-bedroom apartment and $780 for a 2-bedroom house. One flat rate, no deposit.
