Local Moves Within Old Town
Old Town Triangle's streets were laid out before Chicago's standard grid — they run on diagonals with asymmetrical intersections that don't behave like the rest of the north side. A truck that needs to turn around on North Crilly Court or Willow Street has limited options. We plan the route before the crew leaves so we're not figuring out truck access on the clock at your front door.
Long Distance & Out-of-State Moves
Old Town households moving out of the city tend to be established — professionals and families heading to the North Shore suburbs or relocating out of state for work. Those moves involve real furniture from homes that have been lived in for years. Binding rate before we load, no fuel surcharges at delivery, same crew both ends when distance allows.
Packing, Storage & Supplies
Old Town's Victorian row houses and cottages have original woodwork, period details, and staircases that need to be protected on move-out as much as your furniture does. We bring floor runners and door padding as standard. For anything fragile or high-value, we do partial packing. Our Lincolnwood warehouse holds overflow between moves, billed on actual cubic feet.

Apartment / Small Home
Studio, 1BR, or 2BR. Studios and one-bedrooms in Old Town walk-ups run $400–$900. Two-bedrooms in Victorian row houses or courtyard buildings typically push toward $1,400 — the narrow street access and original staircases add time we build into the estimate upfront.
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 an Old Town move?
We charge by the hour with the full total given before we start. A studio or one-bedroom in an Old Town walk-up or high-rise typically runs $400–$900. A two-bedroom in a Victorian row house or courtyard building runs $1,000–$1,400. Larger single-family homes or multi-floor townhouses run $1,400–$1,900. We charge hourly with the total quoted upfront — no end-of-day upcharges, fuel surcharges, or surprise fees.
What's different about moving in the Old Town Triangle versus the rest of the neighborhood?
The Old Town Triangle was platted before Chicago adopted its standard street grid, and the streets show it — they run at odd angles, intersection geometry doesn't match anywhere else on the north side, and one-way designations can be counterintuitive for a crew that's used to navigating the grid. Streets like North Crilly Court, Willow, Menomonee, and Eugenie are narrow and don't leave much room for a truck to reposition. We plan truck access and CDOT permit placement when we quote you, not after the crew is already on-site trying to figure it out. For carriage houses — which are common in the Triangle — we confirm the alley entry width and access route at booking.
Does the Old Town Art Fair affect moving schedules?
Yes, significantly. The Old Town Art Fair and Wells Street Art Festival both happen the second weekend of June — Wells Street and surrounding blocks are closed to vehicle traffic for much of that weekend, and the neighborhood draws huge crowds that make parking and truck access nearly impossible even on adjacent streets. If your move falls on that weekend, we flag it when you book and help you decide whether to adjust your start time or reschedule. It's one of the most common booking surprises for people moving into or out of Old Town in early summer.
Do you handle carriage houses and Victorian row homes, or just standard apartments?
Both — and we handle them differently. Victorian row houses have steep original staircases, narrow doorframes, and original woodwork that needs floor runners and door padding to protect on move-out. Carriage houses typically sit behind the main building on an alley, with a narrow entry that affects how the truck stages. High-rises near the lake run standard COI and freight elevator protocol. We ask about your specific building type when you call so the crew knows what they're walking into before the clock starts.
