Mladen assisted me from the first phone call, until the very last item was placed in my new apartment. I have used Affordable City Movers for a second time moving in Chicago and I have ZERO regrets. They once again knocked it out of the park with their pricing, professionalism, and efficiency. Please people if you are looking to move in the Chicagoland area, reach out to Affordable City Movers, you will not regret it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about apartment moving in Chicago
How much does it cost to move a 2-bedroom apartment in Chicago?
Most 2-bedroom apartment moves in Chicago take 4-5 hours and typically range from $900-$1,800 depending on the distance, number of stairs, and amount of furniture. We provide free, accurate quotes over the phone based on your specific situation. Factors that affect pricing include building access (elevator vs. walk-up), parking availability, and whether you need packing services. Call us at 312-210-0259 for an exact estimate tailored to your move.
Do you offer same-day apartment moving service?
Yes! We offer same-day and last-minute moving services based on crew availability. Chicago apartment moves often come up unexpectedly—whether you found a new place quickly, your lease ended sooner than expected, or you need to move urgently. Call us at 312-210-0259 as early as possible to check today’s availability. We frequently have crews ready for same-day moves, especially on weekdays.
Do you charge extra for stairs in Chicago apartment buildings?
Our hourly rate includes moves with up to 3 flights of stairs at both pickup and delivery locations. Chicago has many historic walk-up apartments, and we’re experienced at navigating them efficiently. For buildings with more than 3 flights and no elevator, additional time may be required, which is reflected in the total move duration. We’ll discuss this during your free quote to give you an accurate estimate.
What’s included in your apartment moving service?
Every apartment move includes: 2 professional movers, a fully-equipped moving truck, furniture pads, shrink wrap, dollies, moving straps, and basic tools—all at no additional cost. We bring everything needed to safely move your apartment. Our movers carefully wrap and protect your furniture, navigate stairs and tight hallways, and ensure safe transport through Chicago’s streets. There are no hidden fees for standard equipment. Optional packing services and supplies are available for an additional charge.
Can you move me on weekends or holidays?
Yes! We provide apartment moving services 7 days a week including Sundays and most holidays. Weekend moves are very common in Chicago, especially during peak moving season (May-September). Our rates remain the same for weekend service—no premium charges. We recommend booking weekend moves 1-2 weeks in advance when possible, though we often have same-day weekend availability.
Do you handle high-rise apartment buildings with strict requirements?
Absolutely. Our movers are experienced with Chicago’s high-rise buildings and their specific requirements including elevator reservations, Certificate of Insurance (COI) submissions, loading dock protocols, and union building regulations. We’ve successfully completed hundreds of moves in buildings throughout River North, Streeterville, South Loop, and West Loop. We coordinate with building management and handle all necessary paperwork to ensure a smooth, compliant move.
How far in advance should I book my apartment move?
We recommend booking 1-2 weeks in advance during peak season (May through September, especially around the 1st of the month when most Chicago leases turn over). However, we frequently have availability for moves with just a few days’ notice, and we offer same-day service when crews are available. The earlier you book, the more flexibility you’ll have with timing. Call 312-210-0259 to check availability for your preferred date.
Which Chicago neighborhoods do you serve?
We provide apartment moving services throughout all Chicago neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs including Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park, Logan Square, Bucktown, South Loop, West Loop, River North, Gold Coast, Streeterville, Pilsen, Hyde Park, Rogers Park, Edgewater, Andersonville, Ravenswood, Uptown, and beyond. We also serve near suburbs like Evanston, Oak Park, and Berwyn. If you’re moving anywhere in the Chicagoland area, we can help.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, all major credit cards with a 3% processing fee(Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express), and Venmo. Payment is due upon completion of your move. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees—the quote we give you is the price you pay (plus any additional services you request during the move).
