Long Distance Moving from Fairfax County, Virginia
Fairfax County is home to Fort Belvoir and many government contractors and tech companies, so households here often move for new jobs and assignments. Mid Atlantic Van Lines can help you plan a long-distance move from anywhere in the county. Before we book any interstate move, we confirm active federal operating authority and availability.
Packing Up a Larger Home
Many homes here have finished basements, attics and two-car garages. Start with those spaces a few weeks before moving day, and decide what to sell, donate or keep.
HOA Rules on Moving Day
Townhome and single-family communities often have rules about truck parking and moving hours. Check with your HOA early and share the rules with us.
Timing Your Move
Pick a few possible dates if you can. If your new home is not ready yet, tell us when you need to be out and when you can move in, and ask about storage options.

Most of it is made up of unincorporated communities such as Reston, Tysons, Springfield, Centreville, McLean, Annandale, Burke and Chantilly, plus the towns of Herndon, Vienna and Clifton.

Leaving a High-Rise in Tysons or Reston
Tysons is the largest suburban business district in the country, and both Tysons and Reston include high-rise apartment and condo buildings. Buildings like these usually require a reserved service elevator, a loading dock time and a certificate of insurance from the moving company. Ask your building for its rules in writing and send them with your quote request.
