The Real Challenges of Moving in Foggy Bottom

Foggy Bottom is one of Washington, DC’s most dynamic neighborhoods — a tight-knit grid of high-rise apartments, historic buildings, and government offices wrapped around George Washington University and the Kennedy Center.

But if you're not familiar with the area, a move here can go sideways fast:

• Limited curbside space and rigid loading restrictions
• Congested traffic on 23rd Street NW and Washington Circle
• Strict building access procedures at places like The Atlas or The York Apartments
• Seasonal chaos during GWU move-in/move-out weeks

Most movers show up late, park illegally, or waste your time arguing with the front desk. At BoxStar Movers, we’ve done hundreds of moves here. Our movers in Foggy Bottom DC know every alley, loading dock, and move-out form this neighborhood can throw at us.

📍 Looking for a mover that’s already on your building’s approved vendor list? We probably are.
