Peabody is the North Shore's working city: Peabody Square downtown, the Northshore Mall and the I-95/Route 128 crossing on the west side, and the Independence Greenway trail running through the middle. It was a leather town for a century — the tanneries are mostly gone, but the neighborhoods they built remain, from triple-deckers near the Square to single-family streets in West and South Peabody. Harbor Moving LLC runs Peabody as a regular North Shore route out of East Boston — full-service moves quoted from the same published price book we use everywhere.
Square Triple-Deckers to West Peabody Colonials
Near downtown, Peabody's stock is multifamily: triple-deckers and apartment buildings with the narrow staircases that come with them. West Peabody is subdivision country — colonials and ranches on wider streets. Brooksby Village, the big retirement community on the Danvers side, generates its own steady stream of right-sizing moves, which we handle gently and on the family's schedule. Wherever you are, tell us about the stairs when you book: stairs are $45 per flight, quoted up front, never discovered on the day.
From Peabody Square to South Peabody
Peabody Square is the center: Lowell Street running through it, the courthouse and city hall a block apart. South Peabody stretches toward Lynn in older residential streets. The mall corridor on the west side is the commercial engine — retail and office moves there run on the commercial side of our book, with building rules and certificates handled up front. Most Peabody household moves pair with Salem, Danvers, Beverly, or Lynn on the other end, and we run those combinations every week.
Honest Pricing, From the Same Book
Peabody 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 128 or Route 1 to Boston, or up the coast — longer moves are priced from the same book and confirmed in writing before you book.
