Real Homewood Moving Scenarios
“We regularly handle moves in the apartments near 183rd & Halsted. We coordinate elevator reservations directly with property management to ensure we don’t block resident access.”
“For historic bungalows on Gottschalk Ave, we bring specialized door jamb protectors because the vintage 1920s woodwork is often irreplaceable and requires extra care.”

Local Knowledge Matters
We Know Homewood Logistics
Moving in Homewood means dealing with commuter traffic, low railroad viaducts, and busy event schedules. We handle it all safely.
Viaduct Clearance
We strictly plan routes around the low viaducts on Park Ave and near the Metra station to ensure truck safety.
Metra Traffic
We schedule around heavy commuter times at the Homewood Amtrak/Metra station to avoid delays.
Ridge Road Events
Moving during Artisan Street Fair or Fall Fest? We coordinate parking and access to avoid road closures.
Homewood Moving Regulations & Parking Rules
Overnight Parking Ban
Homewood enforces a strict overnight parking ban (2:00 AM – 6:00 AM) on all village streets. If your move requires a truck to be parked overnight, we must coordinate a temporary permit with the Village Hall or Police Department in advance.
Condo & Apartment Move-Ins
For buildings near the Metra station or Halsted St (like Cherry Creek), elevator reservations are often mandatory. We recommend booking the service elevator at least 2 weeks prior to your move date.
Viaduct Height Restrictions
Low clearance warnings exist at the Park Ave and Dixie Hwy viaducts (some as low as 12’4″). DIY trucks often get stuck here. Our professional drivers use commercial GPS routing to bypass these hazards safely.
