Once on site, they started working immediately and got everything loaded into the storage container in just over an hour, neatly packed and with plenty of space left over. They even helped my wife unload some things from our car on their way out.

Major Neighborhoods in Alexandria

If you're not keen on the hustle and bustle of the D.C. metro, why not try Alexandria? It's a beautiful and historic Virginia city a stone's throw away from the nation's capital. In fact, you can even make your commute a bike ride via Mount Vernon Trail, an 18-mile-long path along the Potomac River. And if you still haven't gotten your fill of fresh air, plenty of local resturants, like Taverna Cretouku, have patio seating. Keep in mind that all the history baked into the city comes with narrow cobblestone streets that can be difficult to navigate. So for your upcoming move to Alexandria, be sure to rely on local movers and their expertise to get you to your new home.

Old Town Alexandria

As you'd expect from the name, Old Town is the city's core of history and culture. For instance, the the Saturday Farmer’s Market where you can shop for locally-made goods each week has been an Alexandria staple for over 260 years. And it doesn't end there. Gadsby’s Tavern used to be the old watering hole of America's founding fathers, but you can also grab a drink or meal there, or visit the attached museum. You can also visit the Torpedo Factory Art Center to view a wide array of creativity— and no, the name isn't just trendy, the building used to be a munitions factory! When you’re ready to move to Old Town, look for experienced local movers to help you to your new place without a hitch.

The Berg

Hugging the bank of the Potomac, The Berg is a historically significant neighborhood dating back to the Civil War. And if you're curious about the area's past, visit The James Bland Homes or go on a walking tour that showcases the neighborhood's unique history. You also have your choice of delicious eateries, including dives like Virtue Feed & Grain, a tavern offering brunch, dinner, and cold beers. Being so close to the river, you can relax with waterfront views in green spaces like Rivergate City Park, which also has volleyball courts and a rowing center. If you plan to move to The Berg, rely on local movers to take over the logistics. You'll be glad you left it to the pros!

Parker-Gray

Also known as "Uptown", Parker-Gray is a large neighborhood to the northwest of the city packed with amenities and historic houses, including small row homes and brick townhouses. You’ll find plenty of great food and drink at spots like Mason Social, which serves amazing cocktails, and Bastille, a popular spot offering incredible French fare. Best of all, this neighborhood is a little quieter than the center of Old Town, but it still has easy access to the rest of the city via the Metro station on Braddock Road and Richmond Highway which will take you to D.C. and beyond. Convinced already? Then check out our list of local professional movers who will help you get to your new place seamlessly.

West End

West End is just eight miles from downtown Washington, D.C., but it offers a quiet respite from the bustling activity of big city life. Since it’s the largest and fastest-growing neighborhood in the city, you’ll find plenty of things to experience. Starting with the local craft beer scene and a visit to Port City Brewing Company. If you’re more into history, you can't miss a trip to Fort Ward Museum & Historic Site, which is also surrounded by a park. And speaking of green spaces, residents also enjoy spending time at Dora Kelly Nature Park for relaxation outdoors. Before you start packing for your new West End home, make sure you hire knowledgeable local movers who know how to get around this up-and-coming community.

3rd floor walk-up apartment. Came off a bad winter storm with a frigid wind chill. We had to reschedule twice because of weather. Today was sunny, though still freezing, but they were ready. They got it all in the packing container just in time for the continaer to be pucked up at its originally scheduled pick up time. Wonderful!

The movers did an incredible job! I’ve used countless movers in the past, but no movers have ever taken such care with my belongings. From the way they wrapped my furniture to the detailed explanation of the storage, they are definitely unmatched! I highly recommend this company and they will absolutely be my go to movers going forward!

The guys from Moving with Pride were late, but when they arrived, they worked hard and fast and were very careful with our furniture. I would use them again.

The crew that loaded my pod did an incredible job! I’ve had some really bad experiences with previous moves, and they both assured me that would not happen this time, and they delivered!

Samuel Services Profile Image

This is our third time hiring Samuel Services and these guys are magicians. Two guys loaded my entire 3br house into a pod in THREE HOURS and the pod was an hour late! Cannot recommend them enough, they are legitimately the best movers I’ve ever worked with.

The reservation process was seamless. The rep for All Aboard Moverz called to confirm and to answer any questions I had. The group that showed up were professional, efficient, and very personable. They left such a good impression that I personally requested them for another upcoming job. I was very pleased with them and their work ethic.
