Moving the Historic Harbor City

Waukegan is a city of rich history and industrial strength, sitting proudly on the shores of Lake Michigan. From the beautifully restored Genesee Theatre downtown to the bustling commercial corridors along Grand Avenue, Waukegan offers a diverse mix of urban energy and lakeside beauty. Whether you are moving into a historic Victorian home near the Near North Historic District, a modern apartment by the harbor, or a new development near the Gurnee border, you need a mover who understands the local landscape.

 

Hollander Storage and Moving are your premier Waukegan movers specializing in local moves throughout the area. At Hollander, we bring four generations of experience to each and every move that we undergo. We have a “no-funny-business” approach to doing the job right. We begin by providing you with a free move quote, followed by a thorough plan developed by our relocation consultants so you know exactly what to expect. Our goal is to carry out each and every move with precision and care, offering great service at an affordable rate.

Tips for Moving in Waukegan

Watch the Grand Avenue Traffic

Grand Avenue (Route 132) is the main east-west artery through Waukegan and can be heavily congested during rush hour and weekends. We recommend scheduling your move start time for mid-morning to avoid the peak traffic, ensuring the moving truck has easier access to your home.  

Navigate the Historic District

If you are moving to the Near North Historic District, be aware that streets can be narrow and lined with mature trees. Parking a large moving truck requires precision. Let us know in advance so we can assess the site and potentially use shuttle vehicles to load your goods safely without damaging the historic streetscape. 

Prepare for Lake Effect Weather

Waukegan's location on Lake Michigan means it often experiences "lake effect" snow and wind, which can be more severe than inland areas. If moving in winter, ensure your walkways are salted. Our crews are prepared with floor runners and protective gear to keep your home clean despite the elements.

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.
