I’m Owen Brennan, and Cambridge is where a lot of our earliest jobs came from — Harvard Square and MIT turnover, plus the triple-decker walk-ups that fill in behind them. Our crews know the drill: narrow one-way streets, resident parking permits, and stairwells that were never built for a queen mattress. We stage a shuttle-load plan before we ever start the truck.

  • Harvard Square and MIT-area student and staff turnover moves
  • Triple-decker walk-up expertise — tight stairwells, narrow turns
  • Resident parking permit coordination in advance

Whether it’s a studio near Central Square or a family home off Mass Ave, we lock your rate in writing before we load — $175/hr for 2 movers + truck, $225/hr for 3. See our local moving and apartment moving pages, or check Somerville next door.

Moving to Cambridge — common questions

Do you handle Harvard Square and MIT student moves?
Yes — we move students and staff around Harvard, MIT, and the Central Square corridor every turnover season, including tight-timeline single-day moves.
Can your truck park on narrow Cambridge streets?
Our crew chiefs plan resident-permit parking and shuttle-load routes in advance, since a lot of Cambridge blocks won't fit a full-size truck at the curb.
What's a local Cambridge move going to cost?
Local moves run $175/hr for 2 movers and a truck or $225/hr for 3, with your flat rate written down before we load.
Do you move triple-decker walk-ups?
Constantly — our crews are used to tight Cambridge stairwells and narrow turns, and we bring the right gear for it.
