Relocating to Uptown
Uptown is Community Area 03 on Chicago’s North Side. Recent regional snapshot data puts Uptown’s population at 56,344 and the median household income at $70,067 (2020-2024 ACS). It’s dense, lake-adjacent, and full of character - which is exactly why moving here needs a crew that knows the neighborhood.
Real Estate in Uptown
Uptown is largely renter-occupied (about 70.7% of occupied units), with a mix of courtyard buildings, mid-rises, and high-rises. Market conditions change, but recent housing-market trackers show median sale prices in the mid-$300Ks range, while rents vary widely by building and proximity to the lakefront.
Getting Around in Uptown
Uptown is highly walkable (Walk Score reports a 93 Walk Score) and well-served by transit. The Red Line stops at Wilson, Lawrence, and Argyle, and major bus routes run along Broadway, Sheridan, and Clark. For moving day, that means planning around CTA activity, peak traffic, and limited curb space.
Things to do in Uptown
On weekends, Uptown is a magnet for live music and lakefront hangouts. Catch a show near the Aragon Ballroom or Riviera Theatre, grab a drink at the Green Mill, or walk the lakefront by Montrose Beach. It’s one of those neighborhoods where you can feel “Chicago” in the architecture.

Why Choose Our Uptown Moving Services
Uptown moves have a few predictable “gotchas” (parking, elevators, narrow stairwells, and weekend traffic by the lakefront). We plan for them up front, so your move stays on schedule.
- Apartment & high-rise experience: We coordinate freight elevators, COIs, and building rules for properties near DuSable Lake Shore Drive, Sheridan, and Broadway corridors.
- Stairs & walk-ups are normal to us: Vintage buildings around Buena Park, Sheridan Park, and Clarendon Park often mean tight turns and multiple flights - we come prepared.
- Smart parking + loading plan: We’ll talk through curb space, alley access, and best load-in points (especially important near Argyle and Wilson).
- Protection that actually protects: Pads, stretch wrap, floor runners, door jamb protection - the basics done properly.

- Flexible scheduling: If life happens, we’ll work with you on reschedules and short-term storage options when available.

What Our Customers Are Saying About Us | Uptown, 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.
