Moving Services in Colonial Heights, VA
Colonial Heights and the surrounding Tri-Cities area (including nearby Petersburg) are part of our extended service zone. Families and businesses in Colonial Heights trust RVA Movers for the same professional, courteous service we provide throughout the Richmond metro. No shortcuts, no surprises - just a solid move from start to finish.
Colonial Heights sits on the north bank of the Appomattox River, and its housing tells the city's story: solid mid-century brick homes in the Lakeview and Shepherd Stadium areas, established streets around the Boulevard, and newer construction pushing toward Dunlop Farms and the Chester line. Moves here skew residential and substantial - full households, often with basements and carports that add to the load.
The Tri-Cities' biggest moving driver is Fort Gregg-Adams, just across the river. Military families on PCS orders make up a steady share of our Colonial Heights work, and we understand what those moves demand: firm dates, efficient crews, and a load job clean enough to survive inspection. Add I-95 running straight through the city and Colonial Heights becomes one of the easiest places in the region to move into or out of.
Whether you're a military family on a timeline, a first-time buyer landing near the Boulevard, or a longtime resident heading north toward Richmond, your Colonial Heights move gets a licensed, insured crew, free assembly and disassembly, and standard-area pricing with no travel surcharge.

Colonial Heights is compact - about eight square miles - but every section moves a little differently. Here's where our crews work most in the city and just beyond.
The Boulevard Corridor
The city's spine, lined with established homes and businesses. Easy truck access and central staging make Boulevard-area moves efficient ones.
Lakeview
Mid-century brick homes near Lakeview Park and the Appomattox - many with basements and carports that add carry time we plan for up front.
Shepherd Stadium Area
Family streets around the historic ballpark, with post-war homes and mature trees. Classic full-household moves with straightforward access.
Dunlop Farms
The city's larger planned community - colonials and two-stories on quiet loops, a steady source of trade-up and relocation moves.
Conduit Road & Ellerslie Area
The northern edge toward Chesterfield, where city streets give way to larger lots and quick Route 1 access.
Fort Gregg-Adams Area
Just across the river - we move service members and DoD civilians on and off post timelines, with the punctuality PCS orders demand.
Old Towne Petersburg
Historic rowhouses and loft conversions across the Appomattox - tighter streets and older stairwells our Richmond crews handle comfortably.
South Chesterfield & Chester Border
The growth seam between Colonial Heights and Chester, full of newer subdivisions and commuter families moving in both directions.
Common Moves We Handle in Colonial Heights

Apartment moversWhat Makes Colonial Heights Moves Different
Colonial Heights is easy moving territory with a few local wrinkles worth planning for:
PCS Timelines
Military moves don't reschedule. We hold firm dates for Fort Gregg-Adams families, confirm details the week before, and staff crews so the truck is loaded when your orders say it needs to be.
Basements & Carports
Mid-century Colonial Heights homes frequently have below-grade basements and carport storage that add real volume. We ask about both when quoting so crew size matches the actual job.
River Crossings & I-95 Interchanges
The Appomattox bridges and the Temple Avenue I-95 interchange bottleneck at rush hour. We time Tri-Cities crossings outside the peaks to keep drive time off your bill.
