Best Essex, MD Moving Company

Essex sits on a peninsula between Back River and Middle River in eastern Baltimore County. It is an unincorporated community, so county services run through Baltimore County. The original town was laid out in 1909 along Eastern Boulevard, which is still the main business street, and Martin State Airport sits on the old Glenn L. Martin plant grounds nearby. Whether you are renting an apartment or buying a house, our crews know the roads and layouts here.

Housing in Essex is mostly single-family homes, attached homes, and apartment communities, many on flat, grid-style streets close together. That means on-street parking and narrow alleys can matter on moving day. We scout the block, plan where the truck will sit, and bring extra hands when stairs or long carries are involved. We move a lot of first-time buyers and renters here, so we are happy to talk through what needs packing, what can go in your own car, and what is worth leaving behind. We bring blankets, straps, and wardrobe boxes, and we protect floors and doorways as we go.

Water is part of life here. Many homes are near creeks, marinas, and the shoreline, and rain can make low spots and side streets messy. We keep an eye on the forecast and use pads and wrap to protect furniture, so a wet day does not change the plan. Many Essex streets are short blocks with cars parked on both sides, so we may use a shuttle plan to keep the truck close without blocking traffic.

Eastern Boulevard, Back River Neck Road, and Mace Avenue connect to I-695 and I-95, so Baltimore, White Marsh, and Towson are a short drive. For moves farther away, our long-distance moving service covers out-of-state trips, and we can pack your home before the truck arrives with our packing service. Martin State Airport and the waterfront are close, so the area has a mix of long-time residents and new neighbors. A clear schedule goes out before moving day, so you know when the crew is coming and how long the job should take.

We also serve Rosedale, Parkville, White Marsh, and Dundalk. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers treats every Essex 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.
