Upper Darby sits close enough to the city line that a lot of our jobs here start with a walk-up apartment and end with boxes going down a narrow rowhome staircase a few blocks away. It’s one of the densest close-in suburbs we serve, and the West Chester Pike corridor keeps turnover high, especially around lease-end months.
Dense rowhomes, twins, and a lot of walk-up turnover
Because so much of Upper Darby’s housing is rowhomes and twins built close together, parking for a moving truck is often the first problem we solve, not the last. Our crews scout the block ahead of time when a street doesn’t allow easy curb access, and apartment moving jobs here are routine enough that we know which buildings have usable stairwells and which need extra hands.
Upper Darby is also SEPTA-accessible, which means plenty of clients here don’t own a car and coordinate move day entirely around our trucks and crew. Local moving jobs inside Upper Darby, or between Upper Darby and Philadelphia proper, are short on mileage but often long on stairs — crew chief Andre Loux has run enough of these twin-home jobs to know where a couch will and won’t fit through a doorway before anyone tries to force it.
What makes Upper Darby moves different
- Rowhomes and twins with limited or no driveway access
- Frequent walk-up apartment turnover along West Chester Pike
- SEPTA-dependent households coordinating entirely around move day
- Tight stairwells that need experienced crews, not just extra manpower
If you’re packing up a walk-up on a deadline, our full-service packing crew can finish a unit in hours rather than days. Need somewhere to hold furniture between an old lease and a new one? Our short-term storage covers that gap. Read what neighbors are saying on our reviews page, then get a quote before your lease runs out.
Why locals book EJ Relocations for Upper Darby
We’re not a booking service that passes your address to whichever crew is free that day — the trucks you see are ours, and the crew is on our payroll. That matters in a neighborhood like Upper Darby, where a driver who doesn’t know the block can burn twenty minutes just finding parking. Our about page has more on how EJ Relocations has worked this corridor since 2012.
