They were on time, carefully handled all of the furniture and placement of the furniture, brought the boxes in and told me what was in the box so I would tell them which room to put it And ask before they left if there was something out of place, they could move for me. I would definitely recommend these two gentlemen to anyone who wanted to move.

I just wanted to say that Elite Affordable Movers did an amazing job and were very accommodating. The owner Josh even came out to make sure every thing ran smoothly, him and his crew were very polite, handled my items with great care. And they were more cost effective than the other three companies that I was looking at. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to move your stuff! If I ever need to move any items, I am going to hit them up again. Thank you Josh! -Henry

Real Advice from Indianapolis Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Indianapolis. (They’re really nice!)

"Moving Downtown Indy can definitely be tricky with its heavy population and numerous one way streets. Almost all streets have room to safely park moving trucks and PODS(with proper permits). If ever needing a truck, the best places are U-Haul, they have numerous locations all over the city and give the best prices."

"It is best to book moving services outside of early morning and mid evening. Avoiding high traffic on I-70, I-65 & the 465 will significantly decrease the time to complete your move."

Major Neighborhoods in Indianapolis

As the capital of Indiana and the state's most populated city, Indianapolis is as bustling and entertaining as any big metro — yeah, even in the Midwest! Sure, you've got the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but did you know you can take gondola rides in one of the canals leading to the White River? And like any respectable cosmopolitan city, there's a fun nightlife, so try cocktails and cigars at the retro bar Nicky Blane's Cocktail Longue. And when it's moving day, trust local movers to load, move, and unload—making this the easiest relocation you’ve ever had.

Downtown Indianapolis

Downtown Indianapolis is the city's center in terms of both activities and locale. Also called Mile Square, the area is a thriving entertainment and business hub near many other popular neighborhoods. Living here means easy access to dining and shopping options, major sports venues like Lucas Oil Stadium, and cultural institutions like the Indiana Repertory Theatre. Whenever you decide to make Downtown your new home, trusting movers who know how to get you in and out of the crowds will be your best bet.

Broad Ripple Village

Fun fact about Broad Ripple Village — it's David Letterman’s childhood neighborhood! But it's got more to its name than that. The neighborhood’s main thoroughfare, Broad Ripple Avenue, offers easy access to cafes, vintage stores, global restaurants, brewpubs, and clubs. And with iconic music venues like The Vogue in tandem with great green spaces like Broad Ripple Park, the area is an attractive hub for almost any activity you enjoy. Whether you're interested for those reasons, or want to experience a bit of Letterman's childhood, know that local movers will get you relocated stress-free.

Fountain Square

Just south of downtown lies Fountain Square, a neighborhood you'll often see described as "quirky". It's hard to argue against that when it's home to The Idle, a viewing spot in a park where you can watch cars drive by on the I-60/75 intersection. You can also go duckpin bowling at one of the area's numerous lanes — try Atomic Bowl, they've got authentic '50s and '60s equipment! Speaking of the past, Fountain Square Theatre hosts retro dance nights. Sounds like your kind of vibe? Then let local movers handle all the logistics to get you to your new home.

Lockerbie Square

Known for its beautifully restored Victorian homes, Lockerbie Square is the city's oldest surviving residential district. Streets like Park and College Avenues date all the way back to the 1850s. In the heart of the neighborhood, you can find The James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home, showcasing the famous poet's life. And if you want to enjoy coffee or a meal while peeking into the area's German heritage, visit the castle-like Athenaeum that has a cafe, restaurants, and more inside. Joining this historic community is easy with local professional movers handling all the navigation and heavy lifting.

Jesse and Jarrett were two of the nicest, professional, hard workers! We had a house full of my Dad's old things and they were not bothered by that at all. They were careful, fast, and nice to talk with. If I had to use movers (or any helpers) at all again, I would use them and no one else!! Thanks a lot and take care of them, they are GOLD!
