Moving Downtown

There is a multitude of benefits when it comes to living in downtown Detroit. You can be closer to restaurants, shops, and your favorite things to do. In addition to the shorter commutes to the things you love, you can save money on transport by using public transportation or walking where everything is close together. Furthermore, the new downtown areas are presenting more work opportunities and available jobs which makes it desirable for those in the workforce. As such, many people are interested in living in downtown areas and not just urban areas. Moving to downtown Northville, Plymouth, or Ann Arbor have its own special appeal, but it is not the same as moving to Detroit. Unfortunately, moving to any downtown can present its own unique problems. 

Moving Downtown in Urban Areas

Moving Downtown Detroit

Detroit is a city with a little bit of everything which makes it the perfect place to move. However, moving to Downtown Detroit can be difficult for first-time movers or people with little experience. Unlike suburban areas, downtown Detroit is extremely crowded. This leads to lots of pedestrian foot traffic and motor vehicle traffic which can affect the efficiency of your move. Additionally, driving downtown can be confusing due to the confusing layouts and one-way streets. Moving into multi-floor complexes can also be a big hassle for the less experienced. Hiring a local moving company with experience in the area you’re moving to can relieve a lot of stress in your move to downtown Detroit.

Moving to the Smaller Cities

Moving downtown Plymouth

There’s a lot to do in the downtown areas of smaller cities. In areas such as Plymouth and Northville, local store owners own cute shops and the city comes together every season to celebrate holidays, local artists, and the community. While moving to a downtown area in smaller cities or townships may be easier than moving to downtown Detroit, it can still be a difficult process. Often, these smaller downtown areas have limited parking time and a lot of foot traffic. This foot traffic can make a move more strenuous and untimely. Also, multi-floor buildings in these areas may not have elevators which results in repeated trips up and down the stairs. By hiring a trusted mover near you, you’ll solve these issues!

The good news just keeps on coming! Did you see some of the news articles that Men on the Move has been featured in? We recently were featured in Hometownlife and in the Westland Chamber of Commerce Newsletter for our longstanding place in the local community and long record of local involvement. Also, we were happy to sit down with local news affiliates to talk about us as the people behind the company.

We talked with Hometownlife about the basis of our company and what makes us different from the other groups of movers. Also, we told them about how we can help you with any type of move you might have, local or long distance, and that we also offer packing services, and packing supplies to all our customers. At Men on the Move, we were happy to talk about how we are fully licensed for local and long distance moves in the Metro Detroit and greater Michigan area.

At Men on the Move we are always concerned about customers and clients being duped by an unlicensed mover. We were more than happy to talk about it and get to chat about how we started as a company and how we built our company up over time through our great customer service and our professional staff. We talked about our humble beginnings in the Westland area and our Livonia expansion. Our favorite part was when we were able to share some of our favorite memories from the last 25 years.

We enjoyed being featured by Hometownlife and Westland Chamber of Commerce Newsletter and thank them for the article!

Why use a Licensed Moving Company?

Licensed Moving Company

Trucks with no company names, or logos are a flag for a potential unlicensed illegal movers.

Moving day is approaching, and you may have found that you are in need of some extra hands on the move. If you’ve never hired a moving service company you may be asking questions like “How much is this going to cost?”, “What is the difference between a licensed and unlicensed mover”, or “ Why not use this craigslist guy?”.

First off, we are going to strongly advise you not to use the craigslist guy, just for the simple reason that he probably isn’t licensed. Having a license for a moving company is important for you to the consumer because it ensures a few things:

  1. That the company is running a legal operation and can be held accountable for any of their actions
  2. A licensed company will have insurance, and in turn, will probably offer insurance for you the consumer.
  3. Unlicensed movers are more likely to potentially damage your stuff, change prices once they have your possessions, or steal your stuff.

Men on the Move Is A Licensed Moving Company

In the past few years, there has been a skyrocket in complaints against unlicensed moving companies. Many sting operations to shut these illegal operations down (Here is an example story from New Jersey). From items getting stolen to unexpected price hikes, you need a company you can trust. For the Metro Detroit area, there is no better company to use than Men on the Move. You’ve probably seen us on highway helping someone with their move or heard about us on the radio.
