Real Advice from Detroit Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Detroit. (They’re really nice!)
"It's often a good idea to pack small loads and make multiple trips. Also be aware that there are no official loading zones around the dorms for move-out. All of the usual Ann Arbor parking regulations will be enforced."
Advice for Moving in Detroit or Anywhere.
Because we know a little about moving, we've written some need-to-know articles that can help make moving in Detroit, or anywhere really, as easy as can be.
Major Neighborhoods in Detroit
Detroit is Michigan’s most populated city and birthplace of the modern automobile — hence the nickname “Motor City”. But it's also home to Motown Records and a great live music scene. And it's one of only four US cities to host pro teams in all major sports: football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. So whether you spend your weekends going to games at Ford Field, exploring museums, or trying new restaurants, there's a Detroit neighborhood you'll love to call home.
Downtown Detroit
There is no shortage of iconic landmarks and attractions in Downtown Detroit. The skyscrapers of the Renaissance Center are the most eye-catching, but if you don't want to keep craning your neck up, check out the flowers, holiday lights, or artificial beach in Campus Martius. There's also the historic Greektown, which has been a culinary and cultural center in the city since the 1800s. Thinking of joining Downtown Detroit's community? Hiring professional movers who know the ins and outs of the neighborhood's unique layout is invaluable.
Midtown
The core of the city's arts and culture is undoubtedly Midtown. Previously known as "Cass Corridor" (and you'll still hear some locals call it that), it's home to the Detroit Cultural Center, a complex of museums and galleries. You'll also find Wayne State University's sprawling campus in the area and West Canfield Historic District's restored Queen Anne-style houses. However, consider hiring local professional movers if this area has you charmed enough to start planning a move. They're so familiar with the neighborhood, they'll save you time even through the festival and event crowds.
Corktown
Once home to Irish immigrants in the 1800s, Corktown's name pays homage to County Cork, Ireland. It's Detroit's oldest neighborhood, and has iconic landmarks like Michigan Central Station. Up and down the main thoroughfare Michigan Ave, you can find vintage shops, restaurants, and modern cafes like Bobcat Bonnie's (there's a mimosa bar!). Planning a move here can be a little intimidating, since navigating the narrow streets and limited parking options isn't easy. But hiring professional movers versed in Corktown's layout can ensure a hassle-free moving experience.
Woodbridge
Woodbridge is best known for its green spaces, proximity to other popular areas in the city, and Victorian-style homes. One is the Hunter House, a former bed and breakfast turned into a Historic Site. Another is the Trumbullplex, a housing collective with an art space and zine library open for public viewing. But if historic homes aren't your thing, you can try riding in the Woodbridge Bicycle Garden and look at the bicycle sculptures there instead. Our local movers can ensure your transition into the Woodbridge community is seamless and worry-free.

Norris and Jason were prompt, courteous, and very careful in handling all of our belongings. They went above and beyond to ensure that nothing was left behind and or undone. We would highly recommend them and would definitely use them in the future!
Excellent work and attitude from Brice and partner. I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone. I’ve used movers in the past and they’re as good as any moving company out there. Thanks gents!
I would recommend as they were punctual, efficient and professional. Handling my belongs with care. They definitely exceeded my expectations and made the moving process smooth and stress-free. They were also fast. Wish I could call them to unload in Ohio.
Aaron and Cam showed up on time and did a great job loading my most fragile and heavy items. They were very friendly and hard workers. I'm very satisfied and would recommend their services to anyone. Thanks guys!!
They were on time and incredibly prepared and efficient with my pod loading! Very respectful of space and property and I would happily hire them down
I had to keep rescheduling because of the delivery time of my POD and Precious (the receptionist in the office) was so patient and accommodating and the gentleman that called each time to confirm the change in time was also so helpful. I would definitely use them again. The workers were on time and placed everything just where I wanted it.
Brice and his team were punctual, courteous, and super helpful. They even got me a discount for unused hours on the quote because they didn't need all the time that Simple Moving Marketplace included in the order. Highly recommend! I would definitely work with them again.
The guys were very efficient, verified where every item was to be unloaded to. They carried everything upstairs as asked, and were kind, and courteous!
Bryce and his helper were very steady and strong in helping me with an 11,000 lb "unload only". I would hire them again, which is the highest compliment I could ever give.
Made short work of unloading my whole truck. They where vary professional and nice. I would definitely use this service in the future. Thank you guys, I really appreciated all your help.
Harold, Roscoe, Charles and Isiah helped us with our move. They worked very hard and maintained a very friendly and professional attitude the whole day. Our move was difficult with many odd shaped and heavy items. They handled our furniture with great care and were very patient and kind throughout the whole process. We highly recommend these strong, hard working, great guys!
