Moving services for Lincoln Park.
Local Moves Within Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park's narrowest residential streets — Burling, Howe, Orchard, Belden — are one-ways with limited curb space and sidewalks that don't always cooperate with heavy dollies. We pull CDOT permits and plan the carry before the crew arrives, not after we've spent 20 minutes figuring out truck access.
Long Distance & Out-of-State Moves
Lincoln Park households moving out of the city tend to have significant furniture — brownstone families heading to the North Shore or western suburbs, professionals relocating out of state. These moves need more planning and more care than a studio apartment. Binding rate before we load, no fuel surcharges at delivery, same crew both ends when distance allows.
Packing, Storage & Supplies
Lincoln Park brownstones often have the kind of furniture that's been there a while — antiques, custom pieces, art that needs proper wrapping rather than a blanket throw. We do partial packing for the high-value items and full-service for anyone who wants to hand it off entirely. When closing dates don't align, our Lincolnwood warehouse holds the shipment between moves, billed on actual cubic feet.

Apartment / Small Home
Studio, 1BR, or 2BR. DePaul-area studios and one-bedrooms typically run $400–$900. Two-bedrooms in vintage Lincoln Park brownstones or courtyard buildings push toward $1,400 — narrow street access and heavier furniture are things we price in upfront, not after.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does EZ Movers price a Lincoln Park move?
We charge by the hour with the full total given before we start. A studio or one-bedroom near DePaul typically runs $400–$900. A two-bedroom in a vintage brownstone or courtyard building runs $1,000–$1,400. Larger brownstone households or multi-floor single-family moves run $1,400–$1,900 or more. High-rises on the east side near the lake follow the same structure as any COI/freight-elevator building. We charge hourly with the total quoted upfront — no end-of-day upcharges, fuel surcharges, or surprise fees.
What makes moving on Lincoln Park's residential side streets different from other neighborhoods?
Lincoln Park's most desirable blocks — Burling, Howe, Orchard, Belden — are narrow one-ways with mature trees that have been there long enough to push up the sidewalk. A heavy dolly loaded with furniture hits those buckled sections and loses momentum, or worse, tips. On top of that, these streets have tight curb space that fills up fast, so a truck that arrives without a reserved CDOT permit may end up parking further away and running a longer carry. We pull permits before move day and survey the carry when we quote you — so the estimate reflects the actual street, not a generic number.
Does DePaul University's calendar affect move availability in Lincoln Park?
Yes — the last week of August is the single busiest stretch for Lincoln Park moves, with DePaul students moving in and lease-end pressure hitting simultaneously. Late May has the same dynamic going the other direction. If your move falls in those windows, 3–4 weeks advance booking is the practical minimum for weekend availability. Weekday moves are more open, and if you're flexible on timing, we can usually find a slot within two weeks outside of peak season. Call us and we'll tell you exactly what's available.
Do East Lincoln Park buildings near the lake require a COI?
Yes — the high-rises along Sheridan Road and Lake Shore Drive in East Lincoln Park run the same building management process as any downtown high-rise: COI required, freight elevator reservation, scheduled move window. We carry $2M in general liability and generate COIs for your building directly. Give us your building manager's contact when you call and we'll handle the paperwork so you don't have to be the middleman on it.
