South Laurel is the strip between the city of Laurel and Beltsville along US-1, and it is mostly apartments and townhomes on the hills off Contee Road and Muirkirk Road. About 29,600 people live here in Prince George’s County, with the Muirkirk MARC station, the Montpelier Mansion grounds and the I-95 interchanges nearby. The county seat is Upper Marlboro.
Local moving rates in South Laurel
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 South Laurel
US-1 (Baltimore Avenue), MD-197 and I-95
Baltimore Avenue is the commercial spine and the I-95 exits at MD-198 and MD-212 bracket the community. US-1 is slow at the Laurel end in the evening and the I-95 ramps back up at both peaks. The Baltimore-Washington Parkway is the alternative for a loaded leg toward the District.
Apartment and condo complexes off Contee Road
Most South Laurel housing is garden apartments and mid-rise condos with shared entries and, in some cases, an elevator to reserve. Tell us the complex and the building; the parking and the elevator get sorted with the office before the day.
Townhomes near Montpelier
The townhouse groups around Montpelier Drive have interior stairs, garages and assigned parking. Three flights and a shared lot is the standard job, and we staff it with three people.
Muirkirk MARC and the commuter draw
The MARC station on the Camden Line and the short run to the Parkway make South Laurel a landing spot for people commuting to Baltimore or Washington. Many of those are one-bedroom moves that fit the four-hour minimum.
Laurel Lakes and the shopping traffic
The shopping centres along US-1 and around Laurel Lakes add turning traffic to an already busy road on weekends. For a Saturday move we route through Contee Road and the Parkway rather than sit on Baltimore Avenue.
