Moving in Alexandria, Virginia
Alexandria sits on the Potomac River just south of Washington, DC, with I-95, I-495 and Route 1 running through it. Mid Atlantic Van Lines can help you plan a local move into, out of or around Alexandria, from historic Old Town homes to high-rise apartments near Carlyle and Eisenhower Avenue.
Old Town Rowhouses
Old Town has some of the oldest homes in the area, with narrow staircases, low doorways and brick sidewalks out front. Many streets are tight and parking is limited, so a big truck cannot always park right outside. Tell us your street, and we will plan the best way to load.
Del Ray Bungalows and Newer High-Rises
Del Ray is full of bungalows and older family homes with small porches and tight stairs. Newer apartment buildings near the King Street and Eisenhower Avenue Metro stations usually have loading docks and elevator reservations. Ask your building for its moving rules before you pick a date.
