Best Market Common, SC Moving Company
The Market Common is one of the most walkable neighborhoods on the Grand Strand, built on the grounds of the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base about 4 miles south of downtown Myrtle Beach. Shops, restaurants, Grand Park, and the lake are all a short stroll from home, and the beach and the airport are minutes away.
Homes here include condos above storefronts, townhomes, apartments, and single-family homes on tight lots. That mix changes how we plan a move. Condo buildings often need elevator reservations and have rules on loading zones and move hours. Busy streets and limited curb space mean we plan truck placement ahead of time so we are not blocking traffic or a neighbor’s garage. Most communities have HOA rules, and we follow every one.
Market Common is popular with retirees, military families, and young professionals, so we handle a lot of downsizing moves, relocations for new jobs, and moves from out of state.
Residents love walking to dinner, catching an event at Valor Park, and biking the trails around the lake. It feels like a small town inside the city, and we help you settle in without the hassle of a do-it-yourself move.
Because the Market Common is so close to Myrtle Beach International Airport, we also help a lot of people who are flying in for a new job. We can receive your belongings, set up beds, and have your home ready when you land.
From Market Common we also serve Socastee, Surfside Beach, and Forestbrook. Family-owned since 2015, A & M Friendly Movers is Carolina Strong. Our mission is simple: quality, professional service at a fair price. Home is where the heart is, and moving is where it starts. Call 910-758-0081 for a free quote.

“Excellent experience! We have moved 11 times and once overseas and A&M is in the top two moves! They communicate well and there are no curveballs. Chris, Zack & “Ox” were hard working, courteous and professional. They moved us quickly and took great care with our property. When initially speaking with Matt, he realized I was a Veteran and he immediately offered a Veteran’s discount. I would highly recommend A&M Friendly Movers because they live their name!”

Moving in Market Common: Local Tips From Our Crew
Parking, trash pickup, traffic and building rules can make or break moving day in Market Common. Here’s what we plan around.
Bulk items at curb
Market Common is inside Myrtle Beach city limits. The city picks up appliances, furniture and boxes or bags of household items with regular garbage. Stack them neatly at the curb, 3 to 5 feet from other items, with no construction debris or toilets.
Cardboard beside the cart
Take all packaging and tape off moving boxes. Cardboard can sit next to your green recycling cart, and everything else goes loose in the cart, not bagged.
Cart timing rules
Set carts at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before and no later than 6 a.m. on collection day, and bring them in by 11 p.m.
TVs need special pickup
State law bans TVs and computers from garbage and recycling carts. Call the Solid Waste Division at 843-918-2160 for pickup.
City transfer station
The city’s Jake Abraham Transfer Station at 3221 Mr. Joe White Avenue accepts the same materials as curbside pickup, including electronics for recycling.
