Hockessin, DE Movers

Hockessin is a village in northwestern New Castle County, just over a mile from the Pennsylvania line. About 13,400 people live here, and nine out of ten homes are owner-occupied, so most of our moves in town are full-house moves out of family homes. The center of town runs along Lancaster Pike (Route 41), and Limestone Road (Route 7) cuts through the western side.

Housing here is a mix of subdivisions built over the last few decades and older farmhouses and stone homes, including several listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Bigger houses mean bigger loads, and multiple floors, basements, and long driveways are common. We send a crew sized to the home, check where the truck can sit, and wrap furniture before it goes down the stairs. If your community has HOA rules about move hours or truck parking, send them over and we will plan around them.

Many Hockessin families are moving between homes, so timing matters. If your closing dates do not line up, our storage service can hold your furniture until the new place is ready. We also pack kitchens, closets, and fragile items, take beds and dining tables apart, and set everything back up in your new home. When you call, tell us about the number of floors, the basement, and the driveway, and we will recommend the right size crew for your house.

Hockessin is part of the Red Clay Consolidated School District, and the town is a short drive from Wilmington and Newark. Many residents head down Lancaster Pike toward Wilmington for work, so we try to keep the truck off the road at rush hour when we can. Once you are settled, try ice cream at Woodside Farm Creamery, walk the trails at Auburn Valley State Park in nearby Yorklyn, or watch the Fourth of July fireworks at Swift Park. Hockessin also has its own library branch run by New Castle County, and the tourist Wilmington and Western Railroad has its northern end in town.

We also serve nearby Wilmington, Newark, and Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, so a move across the state line is no problem. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Hockessin 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 410-499-8777 for a free quote.
