Portland Mover Reviews
The team did a great and quick job. They showed up a little after we set the time to start. My only wish is they communicated and confirmed as I only had hire a helper confirmation.
They showed up when they said and got the job done, I would definitely use them again
STAR Moving team was very professional and friendly. They cared and valued my opinion of where I wanted everything placed. I will definitely use them again!
Matt, Liam, Joey and Dakota did a great job. They got the move done in the time frame we agreed on up front, and they were very careful with our belongings. We would be happy to work with you again. Many Thanks, Daniel

Frequently asked moving questions in Portland
Real Advice from Portland Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Portland. (They’re really nice!)
"It rains alot in Oregon, so look for a company with good house prep and techniques to keep your belongings and home dry and clean."
- Moove Moving Labors
"Parking permits are required in downtown Portland. I-405 downtown Portland literally loops all the way around downtown, so you can take North, South, East or Westbound in any direction. Don't panic if you miss your exit."
- Brian's Expert Movers
"Consider minimizing the amount of loose items (e.g., fans, trash cans, lamps, etc.) If everything is boxed and ready to go, your move time will will be quicker, as opposed to having miscellaneous items that are difficult to pack in a moving truck. Consider transporting some of these items in your personal vehicle, if possible."
- Primetime Movers
"Portland and the surrounding areas are unique and beautiful, but busy. Keep traffic in mind, whether you're getting your belongings unloaded or we're loading them up to leave town."
- Thumbs Up Moving Labor - OR
"In Portland, we recommend the U-Haul on 88th and Foster for all of your truck rental needs."
- Portland Movers Ready
"Portland's street offers a lot of hustle and bustle, so be prepared for our movers to act fast when loading and unloading your truck while it's parked in a metered curbside spot. If you happen to move just on the outside of Downtown Portland, be aware of tight streets lined with vehicles, bicycle corrals, and even some of Portland's famous food carts."

Major Neighborhoods in Portland, Oregon
You might know that Portland is Oregon's largest city, but what about the climate being perfect for growing roses? If gardening isn't your thing, there's the iconic Powell's City of Books, the greenery of Forest Park, or the delicious Voodoo Doughnuts to experience instead. Or you can Keep Portland Weird by checking out the city's eclectic music scene, microbreweries, markets, and indie art galleries, too.
Pearl District
The Pearl District used to be an industrial sector, but all the warehouses from its past have been transformed into hip art galleries, restaurants, and bars. For instance, Portland Center Stage at the Armory is, well, a former armory transformed into a theater. Places like the Teardrop Cocktail Lounge even make some of their drink ingredients in-house. The neighborhood isn't far from Downtown either — just travel along 11th and you're there. And when it comes to moving in, let local professional movers handle the logistics.
Alberta Arts District
As you might expect from the name, Alberta Arts District is full of murals, galleries, and colorful storefronts. Situated in the northeast quadrant of Portland, the neighborhood is home to places like the dog-friendly Tin Shed café and whimsical Wonderwood Minigolf. And you absolutely can't miss Last Thursday, a monthly summer event with artists, galleries, and performers lining Alberta Street. When moving day rolls around, let local professional movers who know this neighborhood best handle the heavy lifting.
Hawthorne District
You'll often hear the Hawthorne District described as "quirky". It's not hard to see why when it's home to the extinct volcano Mount Tabor, and over 20 food carts in an open-air market called Hawthorne Asylum. It might be a good idea to visit one of the many local coffee houses for a caffeine boost before playing all night at the arcade bar QuarterLand, too. Thinking of moving to the Hawthorne District? Local professional movers can help you get to your new home stress-free.
Sellwood-Moreland
Along the banks of the Willamette River, you'll find Sellwood-Moreland, a great place for families and nature lovers alike. You can visit the Oaks Amusement Park for some classic rides, or go birdwatching in the wetlands at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. Between the waterfront views, parks, and biking trails, you'll forget you're minutes from downtown via the Sellwood Bridge. If you're considering a move to Sellwood-Moreland, local movers can handle the transition to this riverside neighborhood.
