Waukegan is the county seat of Lake County, set on the bluffs above Lake Michigan about 35 miles north of downtown Chicago. The city mixes historic homes near downtown and the Genesee Theatre, brick bungalows and two-flats on the older blocks, ranch homes and newer subdivisions toward the west side, and apartment and condo buildings near the lakefront and harbor. Each brings its own moving-day challenges, from steep steps to elevator reservations.
Jackson Moving & Storage has helped Chicago-area families and businesses move for more than 100 years. Our Waukegan movers handle local moves within the city, moves across Lake County and long-distance moves through our partnership with North American Van Lines.

Moving Services for Waukegan Homes and Businesses
Residential Moving
We pad and wrap furniture, protect floors and doorways, and load carefully. Older Waukegan homes often have tight turns and steep steps, so we plan the route through the house before we start.
Apartment and Condo Moving
Elevator reservations, loading docks and limited parking need planning. Our apartment movers confirm building rules ahead of time so moving day runs on schedule.
Office and Commercial Moving
We protect desks, files and equipment, label everything for the new space and schedule around your business hours to keep downtime short.
Long-Distance and International Moving
As a North American Van Lines agent, we handle long-distance moves from Waukegan to any state, and we coordinate overseas moves through North American International. See our international movers page for details.

Moving Tips for Waukegan Residents
A little preparation makes moving day faster and simpler. Here are a few tips from our team:
Book early for summer
May through September is the busiest moving season in Lake County. Book as soon as you know your date.
Check building and HOA rules
Many condo buildings and townhome communities set moving hours, require elevator reservations or limit where trucks can park. Ask early and share the rules with us.
Declutter and label
Donate or sell what you don’t need, then label every box with its room so unloading goes faster.
