Professional Movers Serving Arlington
Olympia Moving provides in-house moving in Arlington, Massachusetts, including local moves, long-distance relocations through our interstate network, commercial projects, packing, and storage. We move families and businesses throughout Arlington and the inner Boston suburbs from our Watertown branch nearby.
Arlington packs a lot of households into a small, dense town. East Arlington in particular is mostly two-family houses and Victorians on tight streets, where many homes have no driveway and the truck has to work from on-street parking. There’s no subway stop in town either, so movers can’t lean on a nearby garage.
Olympia’s Watertown crews know these streets, and we plan the truck position and the carry before move day rather than sorting it out at the curb with the clock running.
Commercial Moving Services for Arlington, MA
Arlington’s commercial base is the small businesses, offices, and restaurants along the Massachusetts Avenue corridor through East Arlington, Arlington Center, and the Heights. Olympia handles office relocations, specialty moves, and storage, coordinated by a dedicated commercial project manager.
Olympia runs these commercial projects in Arlington through Scope360, its project-managed program for office and corporate relocations, FF&E installation, lab and healthcare moves, technology relocations, decommissioning, and phased, multi-site execution.
Residential Moving Services for Arlington, MA
Olympia provides residential moving services in Arlington, including local moves, long-distance relocations through our Wheaton interstate network, and packing and Settle-In Services for after the move.
Many Arlington households book the whole move as Move360™, Olympia’s full-service program that brings packing, decluttering, storage, junk removal, installation, and settle-in help under one coordinator.
Industry-specific solutions
Move requirements vary by industry. A school or research-institution move has different scheduling and handling needs than a law firm or professional-services office, and Olympia’s commercial project managers build the plan around the constraints of each sector.

- Education (universities, K-12, research institutions)

Moving Arlington, Massachusetts for Over 30 Years
Arlington is a commuter town. Without a rail station of its own, most residents drive or bus to Alewife and the Red Line, and a large share of the moves we run here are families coming out of Cambridge and Somerville for more space and Arlington’s schools, or longtime owners downsizing and heading elsewhere.
Olympia’s Watertown branch is only a few miles away, which means short positioning runs and crews who already know how Arlington’s dense streets and two-family stock behave on move day. Olympia has won Wheaton’s Mover of the Year award three times since 2003, recognition that comes from the kind of consistent crew work that a move through tight Arlington streets depends on.
Arlington, Massachusetts Moving Services FAQs
A few questions come up on most Arlington moves. Here are the ones we hear most, on parking and access on dense streets, storage, and how far ahead to book.
Olympia handles local moves, long-distance and interstate relocations through our Wheaton network, commercial and office moves, packing and unpacking, and short- and long-term storage. We serve Arlington from our Boston branch in Watertown.
Call our Boston branch or request an estimate online with your dates and addresses. For local moves we set up a walkthrough or a video survey; for long-distance moves we issue a binding estimate. Summer dates fill up first.
It takes planning. Many East Arlington homes are two-families with no driveway, so the truck works from on-street parking and the crew may carry from a spot down the block. We scout the street and time the move to avoid the worst of it, and we’ll tell you up front if a tight block will slow the day.
Yes. Olympia runs a 90,000 square foot warehouse at our Watertown headquarters, a few miles from Arlington, with climate-controlled space and inventory tracking. It’s useful when a closing slips or you’re downsizing and need to stage belongings between homes.
For a local move, a few weeks is usually enough, though summer weekends and the start of the month go first. For long-distance moves, give us more lead time so we can schedule the truck and crew. Booking earlier also leaves room to handle packing separately.
