Best Red Lion, PA Moving Company
Red Lion is a borough about eight miles southeast of York, built around the square where Main Street (Route 24) meets Broadway (Route 74). The town grew up making cigars and furniture, and the old Ma & Pa railroad station still stands as a local landmark. Our York County moving team helps families, renters, and seniors move in and out of Red Lion all year. Every New Year’s Eve the town raises a cigar to ring in the new year, a nod to its cigar-making past.
A lot of homes in the borough are older brick singles, twins, and rowhomes set close to the sidewalk, many inside the Red Lion historic district. That means front steps, narrow stairways, and tight turns on the second floor. We pad railings and door frames, take beds and big furniture apart when needed, and bring the right dollies. If a couch will not make the turn at the top of the stairs, we tell you before we start, not halfway through the day. Heavy items like pianos, gun safes, and old solid wood dressers get extra planning and extra hands.
Parking can be tight near the square and on the older side streets, since most homes rely on the street. We look at your block ahead of time and plan where the truck can sit. About a third of households in Red Lion rent, so we also move plenty of apartments above shops and units in converted houses. Let us know about any landlord move-out rules and we will schedule around them. We can also move just a few big pieces if that is all you need.
Main Street and Broadway both get busy at school and rush hour, and many residents commute to York each day. We set start times to avoid the worst of it when we can. If your closing dates do not line up, our storage service can hold your things until the new place is ready. We can also pack your whole house or just the kitchen and fragile items.
We also move families in nearby Dallastown, Windsor, and Delta to the south. A & M Friendly Movers is family-owned since 2015, and we treat every Red Lion move like we are moving our own family. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 717-844-5125 for a free quote.

Moving in Red Lion: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Red Lion. Here’s what we plan around.
Know the meter hours
Downtown meters are enforced Monday to Thursday 9 AM to 6 PM, Fridays 9 AM to 9 PM and Saturdays 9 AM to 6 PM, with Sundays and listed federal holidays exempt.
Use the municipal lot
The metered Municipal Parking Lot at 33 W. Broadway requires paying at the kiosk and displaying the printed ticket on your dashboard.
One large item weekly
Anthracite Waste collects trash Wednesday or Thursday depending on location, recycling on Friday, and one large item a week can go out with your garbage.
Confirm your municipality
A Red Lion mailing address doesn’t always mean you’re in the borough, since the Red Lion Post Office also serves parts of Windsor and York townships, so check your tax bill.
Register rental tenants
The Borough requires all residential rental units and tenants to be registered, and landlords must submit an updated form within 30 days of any change in occupancy.
What Shapes Your Red Lion Move Cost
No surprises. Here is exactly what goes into your quote, so you can plan with confidence.
Home Size
How many rooms and how much furniture. A condo and a four-bedroom house are very different jobs.
Distance
Across town, across York County, or out of state. Local moves are hourly; long-distance moves are priced upfront.
Access
Move time in Red Lion depends on steep steps and narrow stairways in older homes, limited street parking near the square, and traffic on Main Street (Route 24) and Broadway (Route 74).
Add-Ons
Packing, storage, furniture assembly, and heavy items like pianos and safes.
