Evanston packs a lot into one lakefront city: downtown high-rises, vintage courtyard buildings near the CTA Purple Line, large older homes close to the lake, and student and faculty housing around Northwestern University. Jackson Moving & Storage has served Chicago-area families for more than 100 years, and our Evanston movers plan each move around the building, the block and your schedule. From our Franklin Park location, we handle local moves on the North Shore and long-distance moves anywhere in the country.
Moving Evanston Apartments, Condos and Vintage Buildings
A lot of Evanston moves happen in multi-unit buildings, and each one has its own rules. Downtown towers often require elevator and loading-dock reservations and a certificate of insurance before your move. Vintage walk-ups and courtyard buildings mean stairs, tight landings and long carries from the unit to the curb. Our crews pad-wrap furniture, protect hallways and doorways, and work efficiently within your building’s move window. Our apartment movers handle these moves every week, and our guide to high-rise and vintage building moves in Evanston covers what to ask your building in advance.
Street parking matters too. Many Evanston blocks have residential permit parking and limited curb space, so we’ll talk through truck placement during your estimate and recommend checking with the City of Evanston about temporary parking if needed. Want help with packing? We offer full-service packing and fragile-only packing, and we can unpack at your new home.
