Your Bethlehem Moving Team
Bethlehem moves are shaped by its history and its hills. North of the Lehigh River, the historic district has stone and brick homes from the Moravian era alongside Victorian twins, with narrow streets and steep steps. The South Side climbs from SteelStacks up toward Lehigh University in rowhomes and student apartments, and Fountain Hill is steeper still. Out in Hanover Township, Bethlehem Township, and Saucon Valley, the homes are newer and bigger, with driveways and garages.
Simple Moving Solutions serves Bethlehem from our Chadds Ford office, about an hour and twenty minutes south, and we move people across the Lehigh Valley, including next door in Allentown and Easton. Every move comes with an itemized quote, trained and insured crews, and Pennsylvania PUC licensing. See our full list of moving services.

Why Bethlehem Chooses Simple Moving
Historic homes, steep streets, college calendars, and festivals make Bethlehem its own kind of move. Here is what you get with our crews.
Historic Homes, Handled Carefully
Older homes in the historic district have narrow doorways, original woodwork, and tight stairs. We pad every corner and take apart what will not fit.
South Side Hills and Rowhomes
Steep streets toward Lehigh University and in Fountain Hill are planned for with the right truck spot and crew size.
Student and Faculty Moves
Lehigh and Moravian move weeks are busy. We handle apartment and house moves for students, staff, and faculty.
Festival-Aware Scheduling
Musikfest, the Celtic Classic, and Christkindlmarkt close streets and fill parking. We schedule around them.
Licensed for Pennsylvania Moves
Simple Relocations, LLC holds Pennsylvania PUC license A-8928842, plus USDOT 4531853 and MC 1797073 for moves across state lines.
Itemized Quotes
Every Bethlehem quote lists the crew, truck, and services before move day, so there are no surprises when the job is done.

Moving Around Bethlehem, Neighborhood by Neighborhood
From the historic district to Saucon Valley, each part of Bethlehem moves differently. Pick yours.
Historic District and Downtown
Stone and brick homes from the Moravian era, Victorian twins, and apartments around Main Street on the north side of the river.
Narrow streets, steep front steps, and original woodwork. Main Street fills during festivals; we plan the truck spot carefully.
South Side and Lehigh University
Rowhomes and student apartments climbing from SteelStacks up toward campus.
Steep streets and tight stairs; Lehigh move weeks in late August and May fill the neighborhood.
Fountain Hill
A small borough of older homes on some of the steepest streets in the Lehigh Valley, next to the South Side.
Steep grades where we chock the truck, long front steps, and narrow stairwells.
West Side and East Side
Established neighborhoods of twins and single-family homes on either side of downtown and the Monocacy Creek.
Mostly street parking with some driveways; older homes may have tight stairs.
Hanover and Bethlehem Townships
Suburban neighborhoods and newer developments north and east of the city along Route 22.
Driveways and bigger homes; HOA rules in newer developments.
Saucon Valley and Hellertown
Larger homes on bigger lots south of the city, toward the Saucon Valley.
Long driveways and bigger loads; we confirm truck access ahead of time.
When to Move in Christmas City
Musikfest, the holiday markets, college calendars, and the hills all shape a Bethlehem moving day. Here is what we plan around.
Musikfest
For about ten days in August, Musikfest fills downtown and the South Side and closes streets. We avoid those neighborhoods during the festival.
Christkindlmarkt and the holidays
From late November through December, Christkindlmarkt at SteelStacks and holiday visitors bring heavy traffic to Christmas City.
Celtic Classic
The Celtic Classic in late September fills the historic district for a weekend.
Lehigh and Moravian move weeks
Move-ins in late August and move-outs in May fill the South Side and the north side near campus.
Route 22 and I-78 traffic
Weekday rush hours on Route 22 and I-78 can slow a move. We schedule around them.
Winter on the hills
Steep South Side and Fountain Hill streets get icy. We check access the day before and bring floor protection.

Bethlehem Movers FAQs
How much does a move in Bethlehem cost?
It depends on the size of your home, the stairs and parking at both ends, and the distance. A historic home or a South Side rowhome on a steep street takes longer than a house with a driveway. We send an itemized quote before move day.
Do you provide packing services in Bethlehem?
Yes. Our crews can pack your whole home or just the kitchen and fragile items, with boxes labeled by room so unloading goes quickly.
Are your Bethlehem movers insured and trained?
Yes. Every crew member is trained and insured, and Simple Relocations, LLC holds Pennsylvania PUC license A-8928842 plus USDOT 4531853 and MC 1797073.
Can you help with long-distance moves from Bethlehem?
Yes. We move people from Bethlehem to anywhere in Pennsylvania and across the country, with a set pickup date and a dedicated crew.
Can you move me during Musikfest?
We can, but streets downtown and on the South Side close for the festival, so moves there take longer. If your dates are flexible, we suggest moving before or after it.
What items can you not move?
We cannot move hazardous materials, such as propane tanks, gasoline, paint thinner, and pool chemicals, or perishable food on long-distance moves. Contact us for guidance on specialty items.
