Your Trusted Movers in Bear, DE
Your Local Bear, DE Moving Team
Bear is one of the busiest places in New Castle County to buy a first home or move up to a bigger one. Townhome communities and newer single-family neighborhoods line Route 40, Route 7, and the roads around Lums Pond, with easy reach to Wilmington, Newark, and Route 1, and to Maryland for people who work across the line. Many Bear moves are young families and first-time buyers, and plenty of them start out wondering whether to rent a truck and do it themselves.
Simple Moving Solutions is headquartered on Newport Pike in Wilmington, about 20 minutes away, and we move people between Bear and Newark, Middletown, New Castle, and Maryland every week. The comparison below is an honest look at a do-it-yourself move against hiring a crew. Every move comes with an itemized quote and trained, insured crews. See all our Delaware service areas.

Learn moreDo It Yourself or Hire Movers?
For a small Bear apartment with friends who can lift, renting a truck can make sense. For a townhome or house, the hours add up fast. Compare your move.
A do-it-yourself move of a three-bedroom home usually takes two people most of a weekend, often with more than one truck trip and a day off work, plus the lifting. A three-person crew typically loads, moves, and unloads the same home in one working day.
