Movers in Cambridge, Local and Long Distance

Cambridge is one of the most dynamic and densely populated cities in Massachusetts — home to Harvard, MIT, and a thriving biotech and tech corridor that draws students, researchers, and professionals from around the world. From the brick row houses and tree-lined streets of Harvard Square to the modern lab buildings of Kendall Square, the Victorian triple-deckers of Cambridgeport, and the family neighborhoods of West Cambridge and Neighborhood Nine, the city packs an enormous variety of housing into a compact footprint — and moving here requires a crew that understands the logistics. Poseidon Moving is a fully licensed and insured Cambridge moving company providing professional local and long-distance moving services built around the specific challenges of moving in Cambridge. We serve moves within the city, across Greater Boston, throughout Massachusetts, and to destinations nationwide. Request a free quote and let our Cambridge moving team take it from here.

Cambridge is one of the hardest cities to move in — permit-only streets, one-way grids, strict building move windows, and September 1st congestion that rivals anything in Boston. We move here constantly and plan for every detail.

From a studio near Central Square to a family home in West Cambridge, your belongings are handled with the same level of care.

Why Choose Poseidon Moving in Cambridge

  Cambridge street knowledge: We know the one-way grids, bike lane restrictions, permit-only zones, and narrow residential streets across every Cambridge neighborhood.

  Every building type covered: Triple-deckers, brick row houses, modern high-rises, pre-war walkups, Victorian conversions, and single-family homes — each requires a different approach and we plan for the specifics.

  Building management coordination: Many Cambridge apartments and condos require elevator reservations, COI certificates, and strict move-in/move-out windows. We handle the paperwork and scheduling directly.

  Parking permits handled: We coordinate city parking permits to secure truck space — critical on Cambridge’s heavily metered and permit-restricted streets.

  Transparent pricing: Hourly or flat-rate quotes with no hidden fees. Know what you’re paying before we arrive.

  Professional, trained crew: Uniformed movers who are experienced, respectful of your home, and efficient with your time.

  Flexible scheduling: Evenings, weekends, and same-day availability when crew allows.

  Fully licensed and insured: Complete liability coverage with additional valuation protection available.

Cambridge moves demand coordination — parking permits, building rules, elevator reservations, and tight move windows. We handle all of it before the truck arrives.

Our Cambridge Moving Process

  Free quote: We assess your home or apartment — building type, floor level, elevator access, stairway width, parking — then provide honest pricing with no surprises.

  Plan and prepare: We share a moving checklist, coordinate parking permits, reserve the elevator if needed, and handle COI paperwork with your building management.

  Move day: On-time arrival from our uniformed crew. Floor runners and door frame protection go down first, then we wrap, protect, load, transport, and unload with care.

  Packing available: Full-service, partial, or fragile-only — our professional packers handle it so you don’t have to.

  Furniture placement: Everything goes exactly where you want it — assembled, positioned, and ready to use.

  Final walkthrough: We walk through your space with you to confirm every item is accounted for and placed correctly before we leave.

Cambridge moves come with more logistics than most — COI requirements, elevator reservations, permit-only parking, and some of the busiest September 1st streets in the state.

Here are the answers our Cambridge customers ask most.

How much do movers cost in Cambridge?+
Moving costs in Cambridge depend on the size of your home or apartment, building type (walkup vs. elevator), floor level, distance, and services needed. Cambridge has a wide range of moves — from compact studios near Kendall to large family homes in West Cambridge. We offer both hourly and flat-rate pricing — request a free quote with your details for an accurate estimate.
Do I need a parking permit for movers in Cambridge?+
In most areas, yes. Cambridge has strict residential parking enforcement, and most streets require a temporary moving permit for our truck. You can apply through the City of Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation Department, or we can help coordinate permits on your behalf. Some buildings also have designated loading docks — we’ll confirm the best approach based on your address.
Can you handle September 1st moves in Cambridge?+
Yes — Cambridge is one of the busiest cities in the state during the annual September 1st lease turnover, especially near the university areas and along the Mass Ave and Cambridge Street corridors. We recommend booking 6–8 weeks in advance for any move in late August or early September. Our crew is experienced with the tight building move windows, congested one-way streets, and back-to-back scheduling that come with this period.
Does my Cambridge building need a COI for movers?+
Many Cambridge apartment buildings and condos — particularly the newer developments near Kendall Square, East Cambridge, and along the river — require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) from your moving company before allowing the move. We provide COIs routinely. Just let us know your building’s requirements and management contact when booking, and we’ll have the paperwork submitted in advance.
