Adelphi is the apartment belt between the University of Maryland and the Montgomery County line, along New Hampshire Avenue and Riggs Road. About 16,800 people live here in Prince George’s County, most of them renters in large garden complexes, with University Boulevard and the Purple Line construction along the southern edge. Upper Marlboro is the county seat.
Local moving rates in Adelphi
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 handle in Adelphi
Adelphi is apartment country, so turnovers for property managers, tenant moves between complexes and labor-only unloads are most of what we do here.
- Property-manager turnovers between tenants
- Load-only or unload-only crews if you have your own truck or pod
- Local household moves, from a studio to a five-bedroom
- Single-item delivery — a sofa, a safe, a piano, a treadmill
- Junk removal and whole-house cleanouts
- Downsizing help for a move into a smaller place
- Long-distance moves by flat rate
What we plan for in Adelphi
New Hampshire Avenue (MD-650), Riggs Road (MD-212) and University Boulevard (MD-193)
All three roads are busy commuter routes and all three back up at the peaks; the University Boulevard corridor has Purple Line construction on top of it. Adelphi Road and Metzerott Road carry the local traffic to the campus. We stage loaded legs midday and check the current lane closures the week of the move.
Large garden complexes
The apartment complexes off New Hampshire Avenue are three- and four-storey walk-ups with shared entries, and the offices are strict about fire lanes and stairwell protection. Tell us the building and the floor and we will confirm the parking with management before dispatch.
University of Maryland turnover
Graduate students and staff from the campus rent here in numbers, and August and May are the busy months. Book early for those weeks; the small apartment moves themselves fit the minimum when the stairs allow.
Single-family streets toward Hillandale
North of Powder Mill Road the housing shifts to 1950s and 1960s ramblers and split-levels with driveways and basements. Those are easier to park at and fuller to load.
Adelphi Road and the Beltway
Adelphi Road runs south to the campus and University Boulevard and north to the Beltway at exit 28. The Beltway ramps back up at both peaks, and the Parkway is the alternative for a loaded leg toward the District.
