Chevy Chase is the stretch of Connecticut Avenue between the District line and Bethesda, and its streets were laid out for streetcar commuters more than a century ago. The unincorporated part of it is home to about 10,000 people in Montgomery County, in older single-family houses on narrow, tree-lined streets, with new mid-rise buildings going up around Chevy Chase Lake and the Purple Line. Rockville is the county seat.
Local moving rates in Chevy Chase
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 Chevy Chase
Connecticut Avenue (MD-185) and the District line
Connecticut Avenue is the spine, a busy commuter road with rush-hour lane restrictions on the District side and steady traffic all day on the Maryland side. East-West Highway (MD-410) and Jones Bridge Road cross it. We keep the loaded truck off Connecticut Avenue at the peaks and use the side streets to stage.
Narrow streets and no driveways
Many of the older streets off Connecticut Avenue have cars parked on both sides, no driveway, and a detached garage at the back reached by a lane. A 26-foot truck often cannot get close. We look at the block, sometimes bring a shorter truck, and ask neighbours to leave the curb clear for the morning.
Old houses, tight turns
Colonials and Tudors from the 1920s and 1930s have narrow staircases with a turn at the top, small landings and original doorways. Large pieces go up slowly and sometimes over the banister with padding. We plan the hours for it.
Chevy Chase Lake and the Purple Line
The new buildings around Chevy Chase Lake are elevator buildings with dock reservations, and the Purple Line construction along the old trail corridor changes the road closures from month to month. We check the current detours the week of the move.
