Chelmsford sits just southwest of Lowell where Route 3 and I-495 cross, one of the Merrimack Valley's classic commuter towns. There is a historic center village, the old mill village of North Chelmsford on the Merrimack River, and mile after mile of colonials, capes, and ranches built out over the last sixty years. Harbor Moving LLC runs Chelmsford as part of our regular Merrimack Valley route out of East Boston — full-service moves quoted from the same published price book we use everywhere.
Center Village Colonials to Drum Hill Condos
Chelmsford housing is mostly single-family: colonials and capes around the Center, split-levels and ranches in the subdivisions, and brick mill buildings up in North Chelmsford. Around Drum Hill, the town's retail corridor, the stock shifts to condos and apartment communities with elevators and parking lots instead of driveways. Two-story homes mean one honest line on every quote: stairs are $45 per flight, quoted up front, and the crew plans the carry before the truck doors open.
From North Chelmsford to South Row
Every part of Chelmsford moves a little differently. North Chelmsford keeps its mill-village feel, with tighter streets along the river. The Center is the historic core — older homes near the common that need care around original woodwork. South Chelmsford and South Row are the quiet end of town, near Heart Pond, where families trade up without leaving. East Chelmsford runs to the Lowell line, so moves there often pair with a Lowell address on the other end.
Honest Pricing, From the Same Book
Chelmsford moves are priced from our published book, the same numbers for everyone: hourly crews at $159/hr for two movers and a truck, $199 for three movers, $249 for four, with a two-hour minimum — or set packages at $399 for a studio or 1-bedroom, $749 for a 2-3 bedroom, and $1,299 for a 4+ bedroom. Stairs are $45 per flight. Need a gap between homes? Storage starts at $125/mo, and junk removal starts at $150. Heading further — down Route 3 to Boston or up to Nashua — longer moves are priced from the same book and confirmed in writing before you book.
