Your Trusted Moving Company in Newark, DE
Your Newark, DE Moving Team
Newark, Delaware runs on the University of Delaware's calendar. Every late August, thousands of students move into apartments and rentals around Main Street, and every May they move out again, alongside faculty, staff, and families coming and going. Beyond the campus, Newark is established neighborhoods of colonials and ranches, and further out Pike Creek, Christiana, and Glasgow have townhomes, apartment communities, and newer single-family homes.
Simple Moving Solutions is headquartered on Newport Pike in Wilmington, about 20 minutes from Newark, so our crews are close by and arrival windows stay tight. We also move people next door in Bear and Hockessin, and across the state line into Maryland and Pennsylvania. Every move comes with an itemized quote and trained, insured crews.

UD apartments usually move as a group. Tell us how many roommates, what each person owns, and where it is all going, and see how the move comes together.
A four-person student apartment with a bed, desk, and dresser each plus shared living room furniture usually needs a 20 foot truck and a two or three person crew for a few hours. Book early for late August and May, when every UD move happens at once.

When to Move in Newark
The UD calendar, mall traffic, and football Saturdays all shape a Newark moving day. Here is what we plan around.
UD move-in week
Late August is the busiest week of the year in Newark. Book weeks ahead and expect busy streets around campus.
UD move-out and summer leases
May brings move-outs, summer storage, and new summer leases all at once.
Christiana Mall and I-95 traffic
Weekend shopping traffic and I-95 rush hours around Christiana can slow a move. We plan routes around them.
Football Saturdays
UD home football games fill roads and parking near the stadium on fall Saturdays.
Summer peak
June through August is peak season for families. Book four to six weeks ahead.
Winter moves
Winter break is a quiet window for students and easier to book; we bring floor protection for snow and slush.
