College Park runs on the university calendar, and moves here follow it. The student high-rises along Route 1, the apartment turnovers every August, and the older single-family homes in Old Town all keep our crews busy. We're based in Ashburn and Manassas, Virginia, and our trucks cross into Prince George's County most weeks, so Baltimore Avenue and the run to the College Park Metro are familiar. FLYT brings a dedicated coordinator, background-checked movers, and honest pricing, whether it's a studio or a whole house.
Looking for movers in College Park, MD? FLYT Moving & Storage is a trusted College Park moving company offering local movers, long-distance moving, residential moving, commercial moving, packing services, and climate-controlled storage across Maryland and the DMV.
Student and apartment moves along Route 1
The buildings lining Baltimore Avenue, Terrapin Row, The Varsity, Union on Knox, and the rest, run tight move-in and move-out schedules, especially in August when the whole town seems to turn over at once. Most require a certificate of insurance and a reserved elevator or loading window. We handle COIs as standard, book the freight elevator, and get you in and out inside the building's time slot. For a student studio or a shared unit, we bring a crew sized to the job so you're not paying for a truck you don't need.
Old Town, Calvert Hills, and the single-family homes
Step off Route 1 into Old Town or Calvert Hills and it's a different College Park: older bungalows and single-family homes on quieter streets near the campus. These are full household moves, real furniture, packed kitchens, sometimes a basement that's collected a decade of stuff. We pad and wrap the furniture, protect the floors, and handle basic disassembly and reassembly of standard pieces. No charge for stairs or a long carry when the truck has to park down the block.
Metro-adjacent buildings and UMD timing
The College Park Metro on the Green Line and the newer builds around it mean some moves are Metro-tight: limited surface parking, short loading zones, and buildings that enforce their windows. We plan truck placement around it and confirm the loading dock rules ahead of time. If your lease dates and your new place don't line up, which happens constantly around the university, we can talk through climate-controlled storage in Ashburn to bridge the gap.

Frequently asked questions
Do UMD student high-rises on Route 1 require a COI?
Most do, including buildings like Terrapin Row, The Varsity, and Union on Knox. We provide certificates of insurance to management as standard and reserve the freight elevator and loading window ahead of time, so your move fits the building's tight move-in schedule, especially during the August rush.
Can you do a small student apartment move affordably?
Yes. We size the crew and truck to the job, so a studio or shared unit doesn't get charged like a full house. Local moves are billed hourly with a three-hour minimum plus a travel fee, and there's no extra charge for stairs or a long carry from the building's loading zone.
Do you move older homes in Old Town and Calvert Hills?
We do plenty of them. These are full household moves in bungalows and single-family homes near campus. We pad and wrap the furniture, protect the floors, and handle basic disassembly and reassembly of standard pieces, plus the packed kitchen and the basement nobody wants to deal with.
What if my lease dates don't line up around move-out season?
That happens a lot near the university. We offer climate-controlled storage in Ashburn to bridge the gap between an August move-out and a later move-in, so your things aren't sitting somewhere unsafe. Your coordinator can build the storage window into the plan and the estimate.
How does parking work near the College Park Metro?
Buildings near the Green Line often have limited surface parking and short loading zones they enforce. We plan truck placement in advance, confirm the dock rules with management, and carry from the nearest legal spot when needed. There's no upcharge for that carry, and it keeps the move inside the building's window.
