Tips for Moving in Evanston

Northwestern move-in season

Evanston's calendar revolves around Northwestern's academic year, and late August through early September brings heavy move-in traffic near campus and downtown. We book early and route around peak student move dates so your move isn't caught in the crush. 

Downtown high-rises and elevator reservations

Many downtown Evanston buildings near Fountain Square and Sherman Avenue require reserved freight elevators and certificates of insurance. We coordinate elevator bookings and COIs with building management ahead of time so move day goes smoothly.  

Historic homes and permit parking

Evanston's lakefront and Ridge Historic District homes often sit on narrow, permit-restricted streets. We arrange temporary parking permits with the City of Evanston so the truck has legal curb access and your crew avoids tickets.

Hollander treated us like family from the very first phone call. Their team relieved all our stress and handled our belongings with incredible care. They wrapped every piece of furniture and protected our floors. Truly the best movers in Chicago for local and long-distance needs. We would not trust anyone else with our home.

As a top-rated United agent, they made our move seamless. The crew was professional, affordable, and attentive to every detail. They arrived on time and finished ahead of schedule. Highly recommended for anyone needing a Chicago moving company that actually delivers on its promises.

Corporate Client

This experience was excellent. Our crew was on time, courteous, and very professional. They were clearly experienced … taking any and all measures to move our possessions carefully. Can’t say enough good things about our crew (Kyle, Supervisor; Vedale; Conner, and Turtle). Thank you for doing such a good job!
