What Our Aurora Movers Handle

Moving Your Aurora Home

Our local moving service covers moves within Aurora, moves into Aurora from Chicago, and moves to nearby suburbs such as Naperville. Our movers load your belongings, drive them to the new address, and place them in the rooms you choose. If you are crossing the Fox River from the West Side to the East Side, list both addresses on the quote form so we can plan the route before moving day.

Packing Help Before Moving Day

Book packing and unpacking on its own, or choose full-service moving to combine packing with the move. Packing on its own is useful when you have weeks before the move but no time to wrap dishes, frames, and lamps yourself.

Labor for Your Rental Truck

Our labor-only options cover loading only, unloading only, or loading and unloading together. For example, our movers can load your rental at an Aurora apartment, and unload it at your new house.

Furniture, Same Building, and Office Moves

Our furniture rearrangement service moves heavy pieces between rooms and floors in the same Aurora home. A same building move covers a switch from one unit to another in the same apartment complex. Aurora businesses can book office moving for desks, cabinets, and equipment.

Aurora Neighborhoods and What They Mean for Your Move

Aurora sits on both banks of the Fox River and spreads across four counties, including DuPage County and Will County, so two Aurora addresses can call for different moving days. Here is what our movers plan for in the parts of the city that ask the most of a move.

West Side Historic Streets

The Tanner Historic District on the West Side holds houses built mostly between 1880 and 1915, many in the Queen Anne style with ornate porches. Streets such as Lake Street, Blackhawk Street, and West Park Avenue run through it. Tell us about porch steps and interior stairways when you request a quote, so the movers know the carry from the curb to each room.

Riddle Highlands

Riddle Highlands is a 1920s subdivision of Tudor, English Cottage, and Colonial Revival homes along Lawndale, Oak, Sunset, and Grand Avenues. Developer Frank Riddle built most of the roughly 50 homes that stood there by 1930, using stone, brick, stucco, and cedar. Let us know which floors hold the heavy pieces so the right number of movers arrive.

Downtown on Stolp Island

Downtown Aurora is centered on Stolp Island in the middle of the Fox River. The city bans parking on every street in the central business district from 3 a.m. to 5 a.m., and the city enforces on-street parking from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. A downtown loft or apartment move should start after 5 a.m. and finish without the truck staying overnight.

The Far East Side Near Naperville

East of the DuPage County line, Aurora’s Far East Side runs up to Naperville, and the Route 59 Metra station sits on the border between the two cities. Moves between this part of Aurora and Naperville are short drives, which makes them a good fit for a single-day local move.

Timing an Aurora Move

Snow and Street Parking

Aurora bans parking on city streets once 2 inches of snow fall, and the ban holds until plows clear the lane nearest the curb. Police can tow vehicles that block plowing. For a winter move, keep a driveway clear for the truck and watch the forecast the week before.

Late August Near Aurora University

Aurora University moves incoming freshmen and transfers into its residence halls in late August, with returning students arriving a few days later. Streets around campus get busier that week. If your Aurora move is flexible, a date outside that window is easier to book and easier to park for.
