North Andover is the valley's old farming town turned residential: the Old Center with its common and white church, Lake Cochichewick in the middle of town, Merrimack College on the Andover line, and neighborhoods of colonials running south to Harold Parker State Forest. Route 114 and I-495 carry the traffic; the town itself stays quiet. Harbor Moving LLC runs North Andover 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.
Old Center Classics and Lake-Side Streets
Around the Old Center, North Andover's homes are the real New England article — historic colonials and farmhouses with narrow doorways and staircases built before furniture got big. Newer neighborhoods hold larger colonials with two-story entries, and the Route 114 corridor adds condo communities. Antique furniture and tight stairs are a normal Tuesday here: we pad and wrap like the woodwork is ours. Stairs are $45 per flight, quoted up front, never discovered on the day.
From the Old Center to Merrimack College
The Old Center is the postcard end of town. The lake neighborhoods around Cochichewick are single-family streets where families stay for decades, so moves there are often sales between neighbors. The west side runs to Merrimack College, which brings staff and student-family moves on the school calendar. South, toward Harold Parker State Forest and the Reading line, the lots get bigger and the driveways longer — easy truck access, honest work.
Honest Pricing, From the Same Book
North Andover 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 114 toward the North Shore or I-93 to Boston — longer moves are priced from the same book and confirmed in writing before you book.
