Best Temple Terrace, FL Moving Company
Temple Terrace is a small city on the Hillsborough River just northeast of Tampa, and our Tampa crew moves families, students, and retirees here all the time. The City of Temple Terrace started in the 1920s as one of the first planned golf-course communities in the country. You can still see that history in the Mediterranean Revival homes around the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club. Most of the city lies east of 56th Street along Fowler Avenue and Bullard Parkway, so our crew can reach it easily from I-75 or I-275.
The housing mix is wide. The older streets near the golf course and the river have 1920s homes, mid-century ranch houses, and thick oak canopies that can block a tall truck. Along 56th Street and Fowler Avenue there are many apartment and condo complexes close to USF, with stairs, tight parking lots, and office rules on move times. Some older homes also have narrow driveways or steps up to the front door, and we bring the right dollies and ramps for those. We check all of that before moving day so nothing slows us down.
Late summer and spring are busy here because of the University of South Florida and Florida College calendars. If you are moving an apartment or your first house, we can send a small crew and a truck sized for the job. For bigger homes, we can pack only the fragile items or the whole house, and we take apart beds and tables and put them back together. We also offer packing and unpacking for people who would rather not spend the weekend taping boxes.
Life in Temple Terrace is easy to like. You can walk Woodmont Park, paddle the Hillsborough River, grab Russian food at Babushka’s or fresh fish at Half Moon Seafood Co. on 56th Street, and still be a short drive from downtown Tampa. Florida College, the city library, and neighborhood parks are all part of daily life here. Just plan for Florida weather. Summer storms roll in most afternoons, so we wrap furniture and protect floors on every job.
We also serve nearby Thonotosassa and East Lake, plus the rest of Tampa and Hillsborough County. Family-owned since 2019, A & M Friendly Movers treats every Temple Terrace move like we are moving our own neighbors. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 813-544-0048 for a free quote.
