Moving in with your partner in Philadelphia? Get expert tips from 215 City Movers to make your first move together smooth, simple, and stress-free.
Moving in with your partner is a big step — emotionally and logistically. In a city like Philadelphia, where space is tight and rowhomes are the norm, the stress can sneak up fast. At 215 City Movers, we've helped hundreds of couples make the leap — and we’ve seen it all.
Whether you're relocating from separate apartments or from a house to a shared flat, here are our top tips to keep your move (and your relationship) on track.
Sit down and make a list of items each of you is bringing. Two TVs? Three toasters? Time to downsize and donate. Being clear on what stays and what goes helps avoid conflict.
From closet space to kitchen drawers — negotiate what’s yours, theirs, and shared. Trust us, setting these boundaries early makes for a much smoother transition.
While you’re splitting the rent, make sure you split the planning too. Assign tasks and timelines — who’s scheduling the movers? Who’s packing the kitchen? A shared Google doc or checklist can help you stay organized and on the same page.
Moving in Philly? Narrow streets, tricky parking, and walk-up buildings are our specialty. At 215 City Movers, we make your in-town move seamless, quick, and reliable — without hidden fees or last-minute surprises. We handle only local moves — no long-distance, no hassle.
Pack a “first night” box — toiletries, pajamas, snacks, phone chargers.
Label boxes by room — avoid digging through everything on day one.
Use the move as a reset — organize, declutter, and make the space feel like yours from day one.
