Moving in Charlestown Made Simple
Now that you know whether or not life in Charlestown fits within your budget, it is time to learn more about why residents love to call this popular Boston neighborhood home. One of the greatest perks to living in Charlestown is, hands down, the history found in the area.
Many residents will tell you that leisurely strolls through the neighborhood are practically a requirement when it comes to admiring all of the landmarks with a rich history that is found in this neighborhood. Some of the most popular landmarks for history lovers to enjoy include Charlestown Navy Yard, the Bunker Hill Monument, and the U.S.S. Constitution. Best of all, all of these landmarks are just a few minutes from each other so you could see all of them in just one afternoon!
Sightseers also love Charlestown for its two waterfront accesses: Mystic River and Boston Harbor. These two locations offer picturesque views where amateur photographers and sightseers alike can take in all of the beauty that Charlestown has to offer them. It truly doesn’t get better than Charlestown’s beautiful waterfront views! Another wonderful reason to call Charlestown home is found in the tight-knit community that lives there. While you are living in the heart of a metropolis when living in Charlestown, you wouldn’t necessarily know it considering the small-town vibe found in the warm friendliness of its residents. While you can enjoy this friendly atmosphere, you are also just a few minutes from all the sights, activities, and job opportunities available in Boston proper.

I've had less-than-stellar inter-state moving experiences in the past, so I was a bit nervous about my move from Boston to the Midwest, but Poseidon was fantastic. Jann, from the office, helped me schedule everything very easily and was always incredibly responsive and kind.
Jenn K.
Tl;dr - they lost/broke our belongings and charged us $800 for ONE WEEK of storage. As recurring Poseidon customers, we recently used Poseidon for our two-step move in Boston (from our old address, to a storage unit for one week, to our new address).

Ky & his crew were amazing. Punctual, careful, friendly, and they had moving down to a science. They made sure to take care of all my furniture, wrap everything that I had not wrapped yet myself, and even double wrap everything that I had already attempted myself. 10/10 and will use again!!!
Alexa C.
Highly recommend Poseidon for moving and storage, especially as a college student. Both admin and the moving teams were friendly and professional. All my items were returned in perfect condition and the moves themselves were very quickly executed despite not having an elevator and the weather being very hot..

Great Moving Company! The company was very professional. They were good to communicate and remind me through email of the move date and the timeframe to expect their arrival. They were also very responsive and communicative on move in day as to when they were going to be there and when they were 20 minutes out.
