Moving in Preston

Local moves in Preston, the middle town of Cambridge along King Street between the Speed and Grand rivers, with the shortest run to Kitchener of the three.

Preston grew up along King Street where the Speed River meets the Grand, and most of its housing dates from after the war: 1950s and 60s bungalows and storey-and-a-halfs on modest lots in the streets north and south of King, with townhouse complexes from the 1970s onward filling in around them, particularly toward Fountain Street and the 401. The bungalows are straightforward houses to move on the main floor and slow houses to move below it, because sixty years of ownership has finished and filled the basement with a second fridge, a freezer, a workbench and decades of storage, and in a storey-and-a-half the bedrooms under the roof are up a steep stair a box spring may not turn on. The townhouse complexes bring the access questions: a shared lane a big truck cannot turn in, visitor parking that will not take it, and a common walkway to the unit, so the crew chooses the truck to suit the complex and tells you where it will stand. Along King Street itself are older brick apartments and units above the shops, which are carried moves down one stair to a busy sidewalk. Preston is the closest part of Cambridge to Kitchener, a few minutes up Highway 8 or along King Street to the Doon area and Conestoga College, and moves in that direction are as common as moves within town. Shift workers from Toyota on Fountain Street and the plants along the 401 are a large share of Preston households, and early starts and specific weekdays are normal bookings here.
