Downsizing and Storage Solutions in Alexandria & Arlington, VA
You love living in Alexandria or Arlington. The tree-lined streets, the walkable neighborhoods, the Metro access, and the incredible restaurants are all part of why you chose to call the DMV home. But let’s be honest: the charm of living in these desirable cities comes with space challenges. Specifically, the lack of it.
Most DMV residents face limited storage space at one time or another. You open your closet, the spare bedroom, or your garage, and realize stuff has taken over.
Lucky for you, you don’t have to live buried in clutter. At Georgetown Moving and Storage, we’ve spent 20+ years helping Alexandria and Arlington residents enjoy the space they have without giving up the things they need.
Why Do People in Alexandria & Arlington, Virginia Need Storage Solutions?
If you live in Alexandria, you already know the trade-offs. Old Town’s historic row houses and townhomes are absolutely beautiful, with their brick facades and gas lanterns lighting King Street. But most of these homes run between 1,200 and 2,000 square feet, often spread across three or four narrow floors. You’ve got charm, but not a dry basement or accessible attic.
Head over to Del Ray, and you’ll find adorable bungalows where neighbors know each other’s names, and the Saturday farmers market is an institution. These single-family homes are perfect for young families, but fill up too fast when you’ve got three kids, sports equipment, and bikes. The Landmark and Van Dorn areas offer more affordable garden-style apartments and condos, but if you’re not a minimalist, you’re going to have to get creative about storage.
And then there’s Carlyle, with gleaming high-rises where condos have floor-to-ceiling windows and granite countertops. However, you’re going to make do with one small storage unit in the building’s basement.
Arlington residents face similar space challenges, just with different backdrops. From Clarendon to Pentagon City, you enjoy access to some of the finest shopping and dining in the country, but good luck finding a place to keep your patio furniture during the winter.
When Stuff Turns Into Clutter
You’ve probably had that moment. You’re searching for something you know you have, maybe it’s your daughter’s birth certificate for her school registration, or the warranty for your water heater that just broke. Forty-five minutes later, you’re sitting on the floor surrounded by papers, frustrated and behind schedule.
Or you’re not using your guest room for guests anymore; it’s a storage room with a bed under the clutter. Your beautiful formal dining room table is covered in mail, kids’ artwork, and Amazon boxes waiting to be recycled.
The mental load is real. You shouldn’t have to choose between keeping meaningful belongings and having a home that feels peaceful.
How We Help
This is where we come in. At Georgetown Moving and Storage, we’ve been solving storage problems for Arlington and Alexandria residents for over 20 years. We’re based right here, and we’ve helped hundreds of your neighbors move, pack, and safely store items.
What Is Full-Service Storage?
Here’s how we’re different from self-storage units: we come to you. You don’t pack up a U-Haul, drive to some facility, and carry heavy boxes down long hallways. Our professional movers come to your home, carefully load your items, and transport everything to our secure, climate-controlled storage facility. We work around your schedule, because we know you’re busy.
Storage with Georgetown is easy. Here’s how it works:
Don’t have time to pack? We’ll do that too. Our team brings proper packing materials and handles everything from everyday boxes to delicate items like china, mirrors, and artwork. We create a detailed inventory, so you always know what we’re storing for you (and we can retrieve what you need).
Your items stay in your private vault within our secure, GSA-approved facility, protected by alarms and cameras.
The best part is flexible access when you need it. Need your winter coats back in November? We’ll deliver them. Ready for those holiday decorations? We’ll bring them to your door. Storing furniture for your daughter’s first apartment? When she’s ready to move in, we’ll drop it off for you.
How This Works
Let’s talk about how this works.
A family in Del Ray with three kids in a 1,500-square-foot bungalow stores seasonal items with us. This includes winter clothes in summer, and summer gear in winter. They’re also keeping their grandmother’s antique dining set safe until the kids are old enough to appreciate it.
A couple that downsized from an Old Town house to a townhome. They weren’t ready to part with everything, so we’re storing furniture for their grandchildren, holiday decorations that won’t fit in their new place, and boxes of family photos they’ll sort through when they have time in between all of their fun retirement activities.
Advantages of Georgetown Moving and Storage Over Traditional Storage Units
Think about the alternative. You’d drive to a storage facility miles away, carry heavy boxes yourself, and hope you picked a unit the right size. Every time you needed something back, you’d have to drive back and dig around until you found it.
With us, you make one phone call. We’re fully bonded and insured, so your belongings are protected. We’re a licensed Interstate Authority Carrier, which means if you ever do need to move out of the area, we can help with that, too. Most importantly, we’re local and have been part of this community for over 20 years.
Enjoy Every Inch of Your Space Without Giving Up the Things You Love
Alexandria or Arlington offer beautiful walkable neighborhoods, vibrant communities, and easy access to everything you want and need. But the trade-off is limited space inside your home. Lucky for you, you don’t have to choose between your stuff and a home you’re proud to show off.
Call us today at (703) 889-8899 or contact us online. You fell in love with your neighborhood for a reason. Let us help you fall back in love with your home, with room to breathe and space to relax.
