  • HOA communitiesAshburn, Brambleton and Bristow move hours and truck parking, checked when you book.

Inside and outside the Beltway

Two Northern Virginias to move in

Inside the Beltway it's towers: Arlington alone is more than half buildings of ten homes or more. Outside it, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William are houses and townhomes, many built since the '90s. Here's how it all adds up.

  • Single-family houses43%

    McLean, Great Falls, Springfield and most of Fairfax County. Big furniture, basements and long driveways.

  • Mid- and high-rises (10+ homes)27%

    Arlington, Crystal City, Pentagon City, Alexandria, Tysons and Reston Town Center. Freight elevators, loading docks and insurance certificates, sorted ahead.

  • Townhouses & rowhouses23%

    Centreville, Ashburn, Brambleton, Bristow and Woodbridge. Three-story townhomes with HOA rules on move hours and truck parking.

  • Small buildings (2–9 homes)7%

    Garden apartments and small condo buildings in Annandale, Falls Church and Alexandria, often walk-ups.

Plan around PCS season and the school year

With the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir and Quantico nearby, Northern Virginia's busiest moving weeks follow the military and school calendars.

  • Military dog tags

    Summer PCS season

    Military orders peak from May to August, right when families want to move between school years. Book as soon as your dates are set.

  • Schoolhouse with a bell tower

    Before school starts

    Late July and August fill up with families moving before the first day in Fairfax, Loudoun and Arlington schools.

  • Wall calendar with a day circled

    End of every month

    Apartment leases turn over on the 1st, so the last days of the month book up first.

  • Price tag

    Fridays and Saturdays

    Always more expensive than weekdays. A midweek move saves money.
