Local Mover Reviews
The two young men that came to help did exactly what was asked of them, they were professional and courteous.
The crew from People First Moving were terrific! We couldn't have asked for more. Not only did they unload the container, they moved pieces and moved them again—without a word. Always saying "whatever you need." They were true professionals delivering excellent service and very courteous.
On time, even a bit early. Very careful and quick. Great move for us.
These 2 guys were awesome - I was still packing and they cleared my living room in 15 minutes! I couldn't keep up lol. I would highly recommend Affordable Movers again.
The guys that came to help were friendly as could be and professional and got our truck unloaded quick. I'd Definitely use this company again in the future.
Corbin and Tim were wonderful! I still can’t believe how organized and efficient they were in loading my truck…..I would definitely recommend and will employ them again… Thank you again guys, you rock!
Them boys brought it!
Good guys! Got it done, got it right!

Real Advice from Cincinnati Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Cincinnati. (They’re really nice!)
"When moving to Cincinnati, Ohio you should check the weather because our weather fluctuates and could cause a problem with your move. "
- JEFF WOOD COMPANIES LLC"Moving to Cincinnati by PODS? PODS are usually dropped in the most generalized location of a house or apartment without needing any permits. Moving out of Cincinnati? Many neighborhoods are right off the highway and easily accessible, so you can park trucks and containers on the street or in driveways without permits sometimes."

Over-the-Rhine
Over-the-Rhine is a memorable name for a memorable neighborhood. It's a reference to the Rhine River, thanks to all the German immigrants who settled in the area during the mid-1800s. There's plenty of history here, including one of the oldest farmer's markets at Findlay Market. You can also watch some classic plays at the Cincy Shakespeare Company in the contrastingly modern Otto M. Bugig Theater. But if you're not much of a history buff, there's bound to be something to love at Washington Park, which features festivals, movie nights, a dog park, a playground, and a concessions area. Sounds like your kind of place? Then check out our list of local moving services. The pros and their expertise will absolutely make moving day easier.
Hyde Park
Hyde Park is an affluent neighborhood centered around Hyde Park Square, known for its unique luxury boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and more. The Rookwood Commons & Pavilion is a major shopping complex where you can peruse big-name fashion and home goods stores. Even better than all the shopping you can get done is how walkable the area is. It's easy to hop from a store to a local spot like Awakenings Coffee Roasters to grab a coffee or lunch. There are also homes that date to the 1800s in the Observatory Historic District, with architectural styles that aren't found in many other places. Whatever attracts you to this neighborhood, know that local movers can help with your relocation. Leaving it to the pros is never a bad idea!
Mount Adams
If you like great views and green spaces, then Mount Adams is the best fit for you. Most anywhere in the neighborhood you can get some elevation will afford you some beautiful sights of the downtown skyline and the Ohio River. It's also home to the Krohn Observatory, where you can enjoy a selection of over 3,500 exotic plants, a seasonal butterfly exhibit, and more. But the centerpiece of the area is undoubtedly Eden Park, which has walking trails, lakes, event pavillions, and the Cincinnati Art Museum. Traffic can get a little dense during weekends and events, so if you plan on making a move to Mount Adams, take some of the stress off by hiring local movers who know their way around the neighborhood.
Oakley
Oakley is a lively and fast-growing part of the city ideal for fans of local restaurants, craft breweries, and community events. Residents especially enjoy Oakley After Hours, a monthly event featuring live musical acts and vendors, hosted at the neighborhood's business district, Oakley Square. Locals can also attest to the delicious food here, including hotspots like Redtree Art Gallery and Coffee Shop, where you can look at works by local artists while getting a latte or working remotely. Madison Ave is the main thoroughfare and will easily lead you to other parts of the city, but it can get a little congested at times. Make sure to hire local movers who know how to take the backroads if you plan on relocating here.

Great job again today with same team! Arrived right on time. Worked hard both days! Did not mess around as my husband stated! Job today 3 hrs. 10:30 to 1:30 pm. 5 hrs yesterday.
They were great from beginning to end. They called an hour ahead of time to let me know they would be delayed. When they arrived, they went right to work and did not waste any time moving and packing. Super professional and high quality work. I would hire them again.
We had the pleasure of working with Jordan and Cory. They communicated very well letting us know their ETA. Efficient and polite, the gentleman worked seamlessly to pack my items effectively and safely into our POD. We were concerned everything wouldn’t fit, but they worked their magic! Very happy with their work and would absolutely recommend.
These 2 guys were awesome - I was still packing and they cleared my living room in 15 minutes! I couldn't keep up lol. I would highly recommend Affordable Movers again.
Larry and Adrien were fantastic! They arrived on time, worked efficiently, were courteous and did a great job fitting everything in the Pod. Highly recommend
Great job Harold, Devin, and Josh! Efficient and secured all boxes and furniture very well in our pod. Packed our pod very well! A lot in there! Appreciate their help a lot!
Marty and Andrew are excellent professional movers. They did a diligent and speedy job at hustling down my heavy dresser and mattress down 4 flights of stairs! Not to mention maximizing the space of my POD so it all worked out perfectly. Thank you!
Corbin and Tim were wonderful! I still can’t believe how organized and efficient they were in loading my truck…..I would definitely recommend and will employ them again… Thank you again guys, you rock!
These guys were fast and courteous. I received texts and calls to keep me updated. They were scheduled to come tomorrow and they accommodated to come earlier. I am impressed with their politeness. I would highly recommend them as well as use them again.
