Chicago Cross Country Movers
Relocating to the Windy City With Our Movers Chicago
The Cost of Living in Chi-Town
So what can you expect from the prices in this city? Well, for example, renting a one-bedroom apartment in a central location can cost around $1,850 per month, while the rent for a three-bedroom apartment goes about $3,500. Now, we know that is above the national average, but so are the salaries here. The average net salary (after tax) is $4,450. It is expected that a single adult spends around $1,000 monthly for various expenses, without the rent. But in the end, of course, it all depends on your lifestyle, spending habits, preferences, and the number of household members.
Things to Do Around the City
Whether you're relocating with kids or not, Lincoln Park Zoo is a must-see. The most photographed place or sculpture, in this case, is "The Bean," located in Millenium Park along with other photo-worthy attractions such as Jay Pritzker Pavilion and the Crown Fountain. Navy Pier serves excellent views, and from there, you can go on a boat tour or hop on a gigantic Ferris wheel. During the summer months, you can enjoy Movies in the Parks, visit the Botanic Garden, or go for a walk around The 606, a trail that connects Humboldt Park, Logan Square, Bucktown, and Wicker Park.
How Long Does the Windy Season Last?
Winter and spring months can be considered as windy. The wind's average speed is slightly higher during the spring, but due to the lower temperatures during the winter, we have a subjective feeling that the wind is stronger. Winds are much stronger around the lakefront, while farther inland, it is not so bad at all. So clearly, the wind is not something you should stress so much about. Now when we debunked that myth, let us show you how relocating can also be a stress-free event.
Why Choose Moving Services From Cross Country Moving Company
A lot of times, people who already moved at least once think that the next time they could do it all by themselves. The truth is, it doesn't matter how many times you moved before. It can't be more than we did because our crew does it pretty much every day. While for you, this is something that happens once in a few years or once in a few months, our guys do it every single day. They know every single hack and trick, and they have enough experience and expertise to handle it all. So without further ado, let us tell you what our professional movers Chicago can do for you.
Our Chicago Movers Offer the Best Packing Service
If packing a suitcase for a vacation is stressful, just imagine how much time and nerves you'll waste on packing your entire household. Luckily, you don't have to put yourself through that. We have a team of experienced packers who know how to handle all kinds of items and pack them safely. Also, we use stickers with barcodes to ensure nothing gets lost during the process. If you're interested in this, we offer two types of packing services for you to choose from.
Full Packing Means Our Chicago Movers Bring Boxes and Everything Else You Might Need
Proper supplies are far from free, and those you can get at your local liquor store for free are already worn out, so they might not be adequate to protect your belongings. On the other hand, our team will professionally pack every single item from your inventory list by using our supplies, load it, and ship it to your future home while you don't have to lift a finger.
Opt for Partial Service if You Want to Pack Some Things by Yourself
Take Advantage of Free Storage for 30 Days
Shipping a Car Across the Country
No Matter the Distance, We Can Ship Your Car on an Open or Enclosed Trailer
Open trailers are more affordable, they can accommodate more vehicles, they are fast, safe, but they don't protect your car from outdoor conditions such as road debris or bad weather.
Enclosed trailers are preferred among owners of luxurious vehicles since they are more expensive. However, they do provide maximum protection from weather or road debris, but they can carry significantly fewer cars at once, usually no more than four.

Chicago1/12/2016I just had these guys pack for me and load up the truck for a move from Chicago to California.... read more While I can't yet comment on the delivery service as my stuff won't arrive until next week, I can say that Adrian and his team did a great job. Very communicative, fairly priced and he even mopped the muddy floor afterwards!

Definitely would recommend, at least on this end!UPDATE: I used Cross Country again when circumstances dictated I move back to Chicago from California. Johnny and Dan at the main office were super helpful and treated me like family, often taking the time to reassure me when I was totally freaking out. Oscar and his crew did a fantastic job of packing and loading in CA, while (a different) Dan and his crew took excellent care unloading in Chicago. He even called and requested a couple more guys be sent over to make it go as quickly as smoothly as possible. Long distance moves are PAINFUL, but Cross Country does their best to take the sting out whenever they can. If you have to do it, this is the moving company to use. Highly recommended! read less
