Parking in Philadelphia can be a little hairy. A lot of the street parking in the city is metered, and many Philly neighborhoods have resident-only parking restrictions.3 This makes it essential to plan for your parking situation before your moving day. Whether you’re hiring professional movers or you’re going DIY and loading up a rental truck, scope out a spot ahead of time for you or your movers to park while working. Depending on where in Philly you’re moving from/to, this might mean putting aside a few dollars in quarters to routinely feed a meter, getting permission from your new HOA to park a moving truck, or simply finding the closest free parking near your new home. Whatever you do, don’t leave this concern to the last minute. Otherwise, you may end up driving around for hours looking for a spot or, even worse, dealing with parking enforcement.
