Forestville is the community along Pennsylvania Avenue and Forestville Road just inside the Beltway, between Suitland and Westphalia. About 12,800 people live here in Prince George’s County in garden apartments near the highway and 1950s and 1960s ranchers on the side streets, with the Penn Mar shopping centre in the middle. Upper Marlboro is the county seat, east on MD-4.
Local moving rates in Forestville
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 Forestville
Pennsylvania Avenue (MD-4) and the Beltway
Pennsylvania Avenue is a fast divided highway between the District and Upper Marlboro, and the Beltway interchange at exit 11 is slow at both peaks. Forestville Road and Marlboro Pike carry the local traffic. Suitland Parkway is the alternative for a loaded leg toward the District.
Ranchers and Cape Cods off Forestville Road
The residential streets are compact brick ranchers and Cape Cods with driveways and basements reached by an interior stair. Many are still with the family that bought them, and the basement holds most of the load.
Garden apartments near Penn Mar
The complexes around the shopping centre and along Pennsylvania Avenue are walk-ups with shared entries and fire-lane rules. We confirm the building, the floor and the parking with the office before the crew leaves.
Estate cleanouts
When a long-held Forestville house sells, the basement and the shed hold decades of things. We can move what is going and haul what is not in the same visit.
Marlboro Pike and the older commercial strip
Marlboro Pike runs parallel to Pennsylvania Avenue and carries the older shops, the bus routes and a lot of the local traffic. It is slower than the highway but easier to park on, and we often stage from it for the streets between the two.
