Access decides most of what happens on a move in Peoria Heights. Streets here are narrower than the newer parts of the metro, many homes have a rear alley instead of a front driveway, and the properties along the bluff sit on grades that no truck is going to argue with. Hiring a trusted moving company in a village like this really means hiring one that has already worked out where the truck goes.

The Parts of Peoria Heights We Cover

We work the full village, from the streets running off Prospect Road through to the homes backing onto the bluff above the river. Moving Mountains, Moving & Storage covers the whole Peoria metro from two Central Illinois addresses, so a Heights job is a short run rather than a trip in from somewhere else. That matters more than it sounds like it should, because it is the difference between a crew that starts fresh and one that has already spent two hours on the road.

Moving for Apartments and Older Homes in the Area

The village has a mix of long-held single-family homes and smaller rental units above and behind the commercial stretch. Upper-floor units without an elevator are common, which means stairs carry and, on some buildings, a front entry is too tight for a wide piece. Our apartment moving services are set up for exactly that, including the tight turns at the top of an older staircase.

What Sets Our Crews Apart Here

Moving Mountains, Moving & Storage is licensed and insured, and the terms are the same on a small apartment job as on a full house. A free estimate first, a clear scope, then a fully refundable 10% deposit to hold the date. Nothing about the size of the job changes the process.

About Peoria Heights

Peoria Heights is a village immediately north of Peoria, sitting on the high ground above the Illinois River with Prospect Road running through the middle of it as the commercial spine. Housing is largely older and closely spaced, with alleys behind many blocks and driveways that run short and steep. Newer development is limited, so the practical constraints on a move here have more to do with the age and layout of the streets than with distance. Anyone moving in or out of the village is usually dealing with a stair carry, a tight turn, or both.

Other Areas We Serve:

Moving within the Heights or heading out of it, the starting point is the same. Give us the address, the floor and what needs to come with you, and we will put together an estimate with no obligation attached. Book your estimate whenever you are ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work out of the alley when there is no driveway? 

Often yes, and where the alley is too tight, we plan a shuttle from the nearest point the truck can hold. We work that out at the estimate rather than on the morning.

Can you handle an upstairs apartment with no elevator? 

Yes. Stair carries are routine work for us. Tell us the floor and the staircase type when you book so the crew and the time are set correctly.

Is a small one-bedroom job worth booking a crew for?

Yes. We quote small jobs on the same basis as large ones, and plenty of what we do in the village is a single apartment rather than a full house.
