Thinking about relocating from Chicago to Evanston? Whether you’re moving into a cozy apartment near Northwestern University or settling into a family home close to Lake Michigan, you’re likely wondering: how much will it cost — and how does this move actually work? ACM Movers Chicago has the answers.
How Far Is It Really?
Chicago to Evanston may look close on the map (just 10 to 15 miles), but don’t let the short distance fool you. The route often involves:
- Busy expressways like I-90 or Lake Shore Drive
- Narrow streets and one-way roads
- Permit-required parking zones
- Older buildings with tight staircases or elevators
That’s why choosing local movers who know both cities is key. We understand the logistics of both downtown high-rises and Evanston’s residential neighborhoods.
What's the Cost to Move from Chicago to Evanston?
While pricing varies by job size, here are some real-world estimates:
Studio or 1-Bedroom Apartment: $500–$800
2-Bedroom Apartment: $800–$1,300
3-Bedroom Home or Larger: $1,200–$2,500+
All quotes include professional movers, travel time, loading/unloading, and basic protection. We also offer flat-rate pricing for peace of mind—no surprise fees.
