Skip to content Moving Company in Old Town, Full-Service Local Movers
Your Local Old Town Moving Experts
Old Town is one of those Chicago neighborhoods where the buildings look cute… right up until you try to move a sofa up a narrow staircase. We move Old Town every week, from classic walk-ups in the Old Town Triangle to condos and high-rises near Wells, Division, and North Avenue.
We’re set up for the reality here: tight one-ways, limited curb space, and building move windows. If you’re in 60610 (most of Old Town) or the 60614 overlap on the Lincoln Park edge, we know the streets, the typical loading spots, and how to keep your move efficient.
- Landmarks we’re around constantly: The Second City, St. Michael’s Church, Piper’s Alley, Wells Street, and the Old Town Triangle Historic District.
- Building types: vintage flats, courtyard buildings, townhomes, and full-service doorman buildings with elevators and freight rules.
- Moves we handle daily: apartment, condo, townhome, in-building relocations, and office/retail moves along Wells and Clark.
Takes a few minutes. No obligation.

Old Town Move-Day Tips
Old Town moves are rarely “hard,” they’re just tight. A little prep saves hours.
- Reserve your building’s move slot early: many Old Town buildings have strict elevator windows and require advance booking.
- Plan curb space: Wells, Clark, Division, and North Avenue get busy. If you need a reserved spot, plan ahead for City of Chicago no-parking signage.
- Measure the big stuff: stair turns and older door frames are the usual “surprise.” We can advise on disassembly for sectionals, bed frames, and bulky dressers.
- Pack for speed: label by room and keep essentials separate (keys, meds, chargers, baby items, paperwork).
- Watch event days: street festivals and weekend crowds around Wells Street can slow access. If you can, schedule mid-week or early-day starts.
If you’re not sure how your block will behave on move day, tell us the cross streets and building type, and we’ll plan around it.
Moving Between Old Town and Chicago Neighborhoods
Old Town sits right between the action and the neighborhoods, so moves here are often quick, but timing matters. We regularly handle relocations between Old Town and:
- Gold Coast, River North, Streeterville: short-distance condo and high-rise moves where elevator scheduling is the real game.
- The Loop & West Loop: office moves, apartment transitions, and storage-to-downtown deliveries.
- Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park: neighborhood-to-neighborhood moves with tight stairwells and limited curb space.
Routes are usually straightforward via LaSalle Drive, North Avenue, Division, and quick access to I-90/94 when you’re heading out of the city.

What Our Customers Are Saying About Us | Old Town, IL
My MOOvers team was incredible! Enrique, Juan, and Victor did a great job. They didn’t let the bitter cold or blustery snow slow them down. I still don’t know how they carry so many boxes at once. They were super efficient, friendly, and pleasant to work with. I haaaaate moving, but I hope I get this crew next time! Thanks again. 🙂
This was my first time using MOOvers Chicago. They were ahead of schedule, so they called to see if they could arrive early. Enrique, Abner, Nick and Mariuin were extremely efficient and professional. They managed to finish my move in 3 hours, when the estimate was for 4-6. Would definitely use this company again!
The MOOvers team made my recent move to Chicago an easy process. Felipe, who led a team including Miguel and Jose, made a fantastic trio. They made sure everything got down, over, and up into my new place quickly and in perfect condition. While moves can be stressful, they made the day easier to manage, and everyone behind the scenes made sure I understood the costs and timing. Thanks, MOOvers!
Hired for a 3 bedroom apartment move and Marcos and his crew were amazing!! They completed our move very quickly - in half the estimated time. We came in waaay under the estimated cost! Would 100% use them for every and any move going forward. After a terrible experience with Two Men and a Truck around this same move I was very pleasantly surprised at how different this company was!
Book them and never look back!
These dudes are awesome! I cannot remember the names of all the movers, but Ceasar and his team were great! We gave them cupcakes after such an amazing job they did. Unfortunately there was an error on my end with giving them my number, but despite that they absolutely crushed our move! They were fantastic and I could not give them enough praise! They even performed under our estimated quote. My fiance and I could not be happier. They earned their tip fair and square. No damage to anything and all of our stuff was treated with care.
We moved from Chicago to the suburbs today with this company. I am truly amazed by the professionalism level of their two guys - Abner and Caesar. They arrived on time and were very polite in their behavior. They climbed 3 level of stairs without even resting for a bit. They were very careful and diligent in moving our stuff without a single scratch or damage. I would like to recommend this business to everyone looking for movers service in Chicago area.
