The two movers from MinuteMen came on time and were very nice. They worked very hard to get some of our heavy/bulky items stacked with care. They also helped us wrap a few difficult items with plastic wrap. We were doing a shuttle service to a Upack service center and they organized our relocube to perfectly fit all of our items.

Real Advice from Minneapolis Movers

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

"If you're moving within the Minneapolis area using a rental truck, the best location to rent the truck is by far U-HAUL Moving & Storage of Plymouth. It is worth the extra mileage to rent from here because there are never any problems like there are with other places, and you can rest assured you will be getting your truck on time. "

Major Neighborhoods in Minneapolis

Rarely can you find a blend between nature and a modern metropolis like you can in Minneapolis. Surrounded by parks and lakes, it's one half of "The Twin Cities" (along with St. Paul) and a bustling metro home to many cultural landmarks. One of the most recognizable is the Mall of America, with over 500 stores and attractions to visit. As for the nature lovers, you get to live along the Mississippi River, which bisects the city, and can explore the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway with gardens, beaches, a gold course, and over 51 miles of paved trails. If you plan to move to this beloved Midwestern city, check out our list to find the best local moving help for a smooth transition.

Downtown Minneapolis

Downtown Minneapolis is also called the “Downtown Core” because it’s the heart of the city’s activity. One of the most unique things to do has to be strolling along the Skyway, an impressive network of enclosed, second-level bridges dotted with shops and eateries that span 80 blocks. This neighborhood is also where the sports fans gather at one of three stadiums for games, including the U.S. Bank Stadium. And no matter how early or late you venture out, you can grab something to eat at the local favorite Nicolett Diner, open 24 hours. Downtown Minneapolis has several neighborhoods, so choosing a local moving company that’s familiar with the area is a good idea to keep your move stress-free.

Uptown

Yep, it's the one you know from the Prince song! Uptown is a lakeside neighborhood full of gastropubs, bistros, independent boutiques, and local shops. Indie and foreign films are shown at the classic Uptown Theatre, where you can grab a drink at the bar as well as a movie. Of course, being right next to the water is great for those who love the outdoors, and there are plenty of walking and cycling paths to choose from in Chain of Lakes Park. And if you get hungry, Pinoli is a popular spot with rooftop seating and casual Italian fare. The neighborhood is waiting to welcome you, so let local movers help you get there safely and easily.

North Loop

AKA the Warehouse District, North Loop is a fun neighborhood where many of the bars, eateries, and shops are converted from late 19th- and early 20th-century warehouses. Or even a horse stable, like the Spoon and Stable restaurant with an award-winning chef at the helm. Or, if you're a home chef, visit the Minneapolis Farmers Market to grab locally grown produce, handmade snacks, candy, and more. Target Field isn't only for Twins games, either, it's also a hub for the light rail that can take you to the airport, other stadiums, or even to St. Paul. If this sounds like a perfect fit for you, then do yourself a favor and hire local movers. Their knowledge of the area will make your move a breeze.

Linden Hills

Linden Hills is the place to be if you love to spend most of your time outside. The neighborhood has two lakes, and numerous cycling and walking trails. Lake Harriet Park regularly has summer movies and concerts, as well as year-round amenities like a boat pier and playgrounds. If you don't feel like walking or biking for the day, take a ride on the historic Como-Harriet Streetcar Line and visit the Minnesota Streetcar Museum to learn more about the history of this transportation. And each winter, you're treated to the sight of the Lake Harriet Winter Kite Festival, where colorful kites cover the sky every February. Want to join the Linden Hills community? Local movers familiar with the area will help you relocate.

Malcolm and Jake were on time, courteous, and hard working. We just needed them to load a truck and they did such a great job! Nothing shifted in transit, even though the truck was not completely full. They stacked everything carefully and used ratchet straps to secure the load. I would definitely hire them again!
