Kettering is the 1960s and 1970s subdivision between Largo and Upper Marlboro, along Watkins Park Drive and Central Avenue, and it is single-family houses almost entirely. About 14,400 people live here in Prince George’s County in split-levels and colonials on quarter-acre lots, next to Watkins Regional Park and a short drive from the community college. The county seat, Upper Marlboro, is just east.
Local moving rates in Kettering
Our local moving rate is $185 per hour with a four-hour minimum. That covers the truck, the crew, protective wrap, dollies and straps, and the drive between your two addresses. Flat-rate quotes are available for long-distance moves and single-item jobs.
The four-hour minimum is not a sales tactic. It is close to what a real move takes once you count the walk from the truck to the door, the wrap-and-pad time at the front end, and the reassembly at the other end. What moves the number up or down is access — stairs, parking distance, elevator waits — far more than square footage. Send us both addresses and we will give you a real figure.

What we plan for in Kettering
Central Avenue (MD-214) and Watkins Park Drive (MD-193)
Central Avenue runs west to the Beltway and the Largo Metro and east to Upper Marlboro and US-301; it is busy at both peaks. Watkins Park Drive crosses it and carries park traffic on weekends. Largo Road (MD-202) is the alternative for a loaded leg toward the county seat.
Split-levels and the landing turn
The split-levels here have short flights with a turn between levels, which is where box springs and dressers slow down. Tell us the large items and the floor they are on and we will bring the right straps.
Driveways and carports
Most houses have a driveway that takes a full-size truck and a carport or garage we can stage under in bad weather. The garage is usually where the extra fridge and the lawn equipment are.
Watkins Regional Park and the cul-de-sacs
The streets that back onto the park are quiet cul-de-sacs with mature trees. A tall truck can get in; getting it turned around depends on the cars. Keeping the circle clear for the morning helps.
Prince George’s Community College
The college campus at Largo is next door, and staff and instructors move into and out of the Kettering rentals with the academic calendar. Those are compact jobs that fit the minimum when the stairs allow.
