Moving services for Hyde Park.
Local Moves
Hyde Park's lakefront buildings — Regents Park, Shoreland, Del Prado, Windermere — all have their own move-in procedures, and some of the co-ops on 55th Street have rules beyond what a standard condo COI covers. We get that information from you at booking so we're not sorting it out the morning of your move.
Long Distance
Hyde Park has a high turnover of faculty, researchers, and graduate students moving in and out of the city — to universities on the East Coast, to positions in other cities, or back to wherever they came from after finishing a program. Those moves tend to involve more books and more fragile items than your typical apartment move. We give you a binding rate before we load, do everything we can to send the same crew both ends, and don't add fuel surcharges at delivery.
Packing & Storage
September 1st in Hyde Park is a different kind of chaos — new students arriving, departing residents trying to clear out, and freight elevators in the big buildings booked solid. If your dates don't line up, our Joliet warehouse holds your shipment until the new place is ready. We also do packing for faculty households with the kinds of things that travel badly: framed artwork, instruments, shelves of books that need proper boxing, not just newspaper stuffed in a box.
Approximate moving cost ranges for Hyde Park.
Every move is different. These are typical ranges based on past Hyde Park jobs. Submit the form above for a free, no-obligation estimate built around your actual move.
Apartment / Small Home
Studio, 1BR, or 2BR. Studio and one-bedroom moves in Hyde Park's walk-up buildings west of campus run toward the lower end of this range. Add a freight elevator reservation and a COI requirement at a lakefront building and you're typically mid-range.
Larger Home
3BR to 4BR or larger. 3 to 4 movers, larger truck, single day. Blankets, shrink wrap, and disassembly included.
Long Distance or Office
Out of state, commercial, or specialty. Binding rate locked at booking. No fuel surcharges or weight surprises at delivery.
Ranges are approximate. Final cost depends on access (stairs, elevators, walk distance), packing needs, heavy or specialty items, distance traveled, and date. Submit the form above for a free, no-obligation estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does EZ Movers price a Hyde Park move?
We charge by the hour with the full estimated total given before we start — not a range, the actual number based on your building, floor, freight elevator situation, and distance. A one-bedroom in a Hyde Park walk-up typically runs $450–$800. A larger unit in one of the lakefront buildings with a freight elevator reservation involved is usually $900–$1,600 depending on floors and how the building times the move window. We charge hourly with the total quoted upfront — no end-of-day upcharges, fuel surcharges, or surprise fees.
Do the big buildings in Hyde Park require a Certificate of Insurance?
Most of the lakefront high-rises do — Regents Park, Shoreland, Del Prado, and the co-ops on 55th Street all require a COI naming the building as an additional insured before any moving crew is allowed in. Some buildings want it a week or two out, not the day before. We carry $2M in general liability and can generate a COI for your building as part of booking. Tell us the building name and manager contact when you call and we'll handle the paperwork — you shouldn't have to chase that down yourself on top of everything else.
How do UChicago's move-in and move-out weeks affect scheduling?
Late August through the first week of September is the single busiest stretch for Hyde Park moves — students and faculty arriving, freight elevators in the big buildings booked for days at a time, and every mover in the neighborhood backed up. Same thing happens in reverse in May and early June. If your move falls in those windows, call us as early as you can — 3-4 weeks minimum, more if you want morning availability on a weekend. The freight elevator at your building may also have limited slots those weeks regardless of when you book with us, so building coordination matters as much as our schedule.
How far ahead should I book for a Hyde Park move?
Outside of the UChicago rush windows, 2-3 weeks is usually enough for weekday availability and 3-4 weeks for weekends in peak season. If you're in a lakefront building that requires a COI and a freight elevator reservation, add extra time for the building's paperwork process — some managers need 10 business days. If you're moving during August or May, treat those like a holiday weekend and book the moment you know your date.
