You can book movers for a whole move or only the loading, unloading, or packing you need. Send your addresses and date through our free moving quote form to get started.

Moving Services for Near North Side Residents

Apartment and Condo Moves

Our local moving service covers moves within the Near North Side and moves to and from the rest of Chicago and the suburbs. Our movers load, drive, and unload, and they place furniture in the rooms you choose. Give us the building name and any loading dock or elevator rules when you request a quote.

Moves to Another Unit in the Same Tower

Not every Near North Side move leaves the building. Our same building moving service carries your belongings from one unit to another inside the same building.

Packing for Small Spaces

Our packing and unpacking service boxes and wraps your belongings before moving day, and full-service moving adds the move itself. Packing help suits a studio or one-bedroom where there is little floor space to stage boxes.

Labor Only and Office Moves

If you rent your own truck, book loading only or unloading only. Businesses near the Magnificent Mile or in River North can book office moving for desks, files, and equipment.

Where We Work on the Near North Side

The Near North Side is Chicago’s most densely populated community area. It holds several neighborhoods inside our Cook County service area, and some of them have their own dedicated pages with more detail.

Gold Coast and Old Town

The Gold Coast runs from North Avenue to Chicago Avenue between Clark Street and the lake, with high-rise towers beside older stone mansions. Our location on East Scott Street sits inside it. See our Gold Coast movers page for more. The southern part of Old Town also falls within the Near North Side, and our Old Town movers page covers that neighborhood.

Streeterville and the Magnificent Mile

Streeterville sits east of Michigan Avenue between the river and the lake, home to Navy Pier and many residential high-rises. Ask your building about elevator reservations and loading rules before a Streeterville move. Our Streeterville movers page covers this neighborhood in depth.

River North and Goose Island

River North runs between Michigan Avenue, Chicago Avenue, and the river, and has many skyscrapers and newer residential high-rises. On the western edge of the community area, Goose Island is filling in with new condos, townhouses, and apartments. Read more on our River North movers page.

Street Rules That Shape a Near North Side Move

Reserving Curb Space for the Truck

Ask your alderman’s ward office about temporary No Parking signs before you move. In wards that hand them out, such as the 44th Ward, the signs are free, must go up at least 48 hours before the move, and cover one eight-hour window on one day. They cannot go in loading zones, tow zones, or on commercial streets with pay-box parking. CDOT also issues enforceable signs to eligible moving companies for $25 per day.

The Winter Overnight Parking Ban

From December 1 to April 1, Chicago bans parking on 107 miles of main streets from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m., whether or not it snows. If your building sits on one of those streets, plan a morning start after 7 a.m.

Street Sweeping Season

Chicago street sweeping runs from April through November, and the city posts temporary signs on blocks scheduled for cleaning. Check the signs on your block the week before the move so the truck is not parked in a sweeping zone.

Near North Side Moving FAQs

Do You Have a Location on the Near North Side?

Yes, one of our two Chicago locations is on East Scott Street in the Gold Coast. That puts our movers close to most Near North Side addresses.

Can You Move Me From Streeterville to River North?

Yes, both neighborhoods are in the Near North Side and in our service area. Send both building names so our movers can plan elevator and loading dock access at each end.

Do I Need a Parking Sign for My Moving Truck?

It helps to have one. Ask your ward office about free temporary No Parking signs at least 48 hours before the move, or ask about CDOT’s enforceable signs.

Can You Move My Belongings to Another Unit in My Building?

Yes, our same building moving service covers moves between units in the same tower. Tell us both unit numbers when you request a quote.

What Time Should a Winter Move Start?

Start after 7 a.m. if your building is on a main street covered by the winter overnight parking ban. The ban runs from December 1 to April 1.
