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 Arlington

Not far from the nation’s capital is Arlington, home to the famous Arlington National Cemetery. This part of Northern Virginia is rich in history, culture, and natural beauty, including the waterfront views of the Potomac River. Whether you'd rather be watching performing arts at the Gunston Arts Theater or taking a day trip to the nearby National Mall, the city offers a wealth of experiences. That includes great places to meet friends for a bite, like the long-time local hotspot Galaxy Hut which offers over 20 rotating craft beers, plus live music and a vegetarian-friendly menu. Because the area is such a hub for tourism and locals commuting into DC and elsewhere, Arlington can get a little tricky to navigate. So rely on the know-how of local movers to get you to your new home flawlessly.

Ballston

The Ballston neighborhood consists of a cool, urban center surrounded by quieter residential areas. It's also an easy commute to the Office of Naval Research or, if you happen to be a student instead, right nearby Marymount University. Talk about the best of all worlds! But it doesn't end with work or school. Shopping is close at hand at the Ballston Quarter for shopping, or you can pick from 12 different resturants to enjoy at the Quarter Market food hall. You can also learn to skate at the same rink the pros practice by visiting MedStar Capitals Iceplex. Already packing to make Ballston your new home? Then be sure to hire local movers who will get your belongings to your new home hassle-free.

Crystal City

Crystal City is an iconic Arlington neighborhood with incredible views of Washington, D.C. on the other side of the river. You’ll find plenty to do as a resident here, like enjoying the restaurants, retailers, and cafes at Crystal City Shops, or taking a swim in the city's only Olympic-sized pool at the Long Bridge Park Aquatics & Fitness Center. If you're more of a foodie, you're still in luck, as there are plenty of local favorites to try like tacos and guac at Tacombi or a slice at We, The Pizza. This area is especially busy with commuters, as it's only five miles south of downtown D.C., so you’ll need to rely on the experience of local movers to get to your new home without a hitch.

Pentagon City

Considered Arlington’s commercial hub, Pentagon City will spoil you with choices for resturants and shopping. For example, The Fashion Centre at Pentagon Row alone has 140 restaurants and stores, while Westpost offers ample shopping opportunities along with an outdoor ice-skating rink in the winter and live music in the summer. Along with all the classic dining options, you can experience unique eateries like the Irish farm-to-table restaurant Mattie & Eddie’s. There's also the new 2.5-acre Metropolitan Park, for when you need to take your pet out for a walk or have a little break among the greenery. Whenever you're ready to become a part of the Pentagon City community, leave the logistics to the pros and hire local movers to handle your relocation.

Prestige Laborers Profile Image

I highly recommend Prestige Laborers. I've moved a lot in my life and this was by far the least stressful. They told me to woo saa when they arrived and they were correct. They arrived on time, loaded everything quickly, and were extremely careful with my belongings. I would use them again in a heartbeat, but hopefully I won't be moving for a long time.

The guys worked fast and were very friendly and professional. They offered advice on the best way to pack up some tricky things, and broke down some of the furniture. Would definitely recommend!

They were on time and did a great job fitting everything into our moving truck! I would definitely recommend if you don't mind looking past the slight unprofessionalism in their attitude. We had an issue with our loading dock that led to one of the movers cussing out our management company...

DMV Discount Moving & Cleaning was amazing from start to finish even with me peppering them with questions and ending up taking double the time I thought our move would take. The movers were helpful and fast. Highly recommended!!

Prestige Laborers Profile Image

Team did an awesome job, very efficient. We ended up getting a lot more done than I expected. Only complaint is the washer or dryer was dropped by the stairs and caused minor damage to the wood floors. Would call this team again!

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.

DMV Discount Moving & Cleaning Profile Image

The two movers were timely and very pleasant however we paid a lot more for the move than they got paid because I asked them. It was a quick job of getting a heavy piece of furniture up a shortish staircase. They also drove a long way to get to my house. We tipped them and they were very appreciative.
