The realistic price range
Most 1-bedroom local moves in the DMV land between $500 and $900 flat-rate. A light, well-packed apartment with easy access sits at the bottom; a packed unit with a walk-up and a long carry pushes higher.
What pushes a 1-bed higher
A few things reliably move the price up:
- Stairs or a walk-up building with no elevator
- Heavy items: sleeper sofa, dresser, Peloton, large TV
- Lots of unboxed loose items that slow loading
- Parking far from the entrance or no reserved space
How to keep it on the low end
Box everything before move day, disassemble what you can, declutter the stuff you won't miss, and reserve curb space or the freight elevator early. Each of these shaves real time off the job.
