I couldn’t be happier with Pink Zebra Moving! Nick and Travis were awesome—really friendly, professional, and they took great care of all my stuff. They made the whole move a breeze (really, it was so eazy I had to look for something for myself to do while they're working). Scheduling with Matt was also super easy—he made everything simple and clear over the phone. If you need movers who are reliable and easy to work with, definitely give them a go!! Plus, they also gave us a bag of nice small gifts at the end with a handwritten card!

Pleasant Moving of Boston Profile Image

The movers arrived right on time and did an amazing job. They were very professional and courteous. I was tremendously impressed with the care they took both with the house and with the items they moved out of it. They carefully wrapped each piece of furniture to ensure it would remain safe through the move. I could not believe how quickly the piles of boxes and groupings of furniture left my home and were carefully packed inside the storage container. Some of my boxes were very heavy with books and photos and they often ran down the stairs carrying multiple boxes at a time. I would highly recommend Pleasant Moving of Boston and would not hesitate to use them again myself.

The crew was very respectful and ready to work as soon as they got there. They were impressed on how well all pieces were wrapped by ME and took pictures because of this. I have no objection to their work or manners. It's just a shame that all businesses are charging these prices for such a short distance move and no stairs. I did quite a bit of work and all boxes were already at the storage unit on the property.

Wow, Frank and his crew came through in a big way! My Buddy team showed at their designated time, even phoned ahead to notify of their ETA. Upon arrival, Frank goes into action, assessing the unloading of the truck and move into an apt. Once that was complete, he organized his team and they got to work. They handled every item in the truck and up the 3 flights with respect and without hesitation. This was the last move of the day for them. Yet they showed up enthusiastic and executed an efficient and professional move. I recommend and would utilize the My Buddy team again.

Major Neighborhoods in Providence

Providence is where history and creativity collide, making it one of New England’s most vibrant cities. Home to Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design, this city has energy, from the cobblestones of Benefit Street to the lively waterfront at Waterplace Park. Imagine sipping coffee on Thayer Street or catching an art exhibit downtown—Providence perfectly blends the old and the new. When it’s time to move, trust local movers who know every twist and turn of its charming, narrow streets.

Riverwalk

The Riverwalk in Providence is a go-to spot if you love being outdoors. It runs along the Woonasquatucket River and hooks you up with awesome views and easy access to Waterplace Park. Whether you’re into jogging, casual strolls, or just chilling by the water, this place has you covered. Living nearby means you’re close to downtown but still get that peaceful waterfront vibe. If you're moving here, make sure to get movers who know the area—especially during busy weekends.

Wayland Square

Wayland Square on Providence’s East Side is one of those neighborhoods where everything just feels cozy. You’ve got boutique shops, cool cafes like Books on the Square and L’Artisan Cafe & Bakery right on Wayland Avenue and Angell Street. The residential streets like Irving Avenue make it a great spot for families and professionals who want that close-knit community vibe. If you’re moving here, definitely go with movers who know how to handle those narrow, old-school streets.

Downtown Providence

Downtown Providence is where all the action happens. You’ve got the Providence Place Mall for shopping, the Rhode Island Convention Center for events, and tons of dining spots. Westminster Street is great for some eclectic shopping, and in the summer, WaterFire events light up the rivers—super cool vibe. Streets like Dorrance and Washington connect you to everything, but they can get busy. So, if you’re moving here, get movers who know how to navigate the traffic and parking challenges.

Federal Hill

Federal Hill, aka Providence’s "Little Italy," is a lively neighborhood with cultural heritage and culinary delights. Atwells Avenue is the main drag, packed with authentic Italian spots—think cafes, bakeries, and restaurants where the food’s legit. DePasquale Plaza is perfect for outdoor dining and people-watching. The area gets especially lively around festivals, with Dean Street and Acorn Street full of action. If you're moving to Federal Hill, get movers who handle busy streets.
