Moving to Des Moines? Here’s What to Expect

Des Moines offers affordable living, steady job growth, and a welcoming community, making it a popular destination for those relocating from the Twin Cities. Here’s what to keep in mind as you plan your move:


Regional Simplicity, Professional Execution – While it’s a shorter move than most of our interstate routes, Des Moines relocations still benefit from the same white-glove service—dedicated trucks, W2-employed movers, and no shared loads. The travel time may be shorter, but our attention to detail never changes.


Popular Moving Destinations – We’ve helped customers move into Downtown Des Moines, Beaverdale, Waukee, West Des Moines, and Ankeny. Whether you're relocating to the city center or the suburbs, we know how to plan for access, layout, and unloading at your new home.


Best Time to Move – Des Moines experiences all four seasons, much like Minneapolis. Spring and early fall are ideal for moves, but we’re equipped to handle your relocation year-round—even in the snow.

Minne Movers ensures that your move to Des Moines is efficient, stress-free, and completed with care, no matter the distance.

The whole experience from first contact to when they drove away after a long day was top notch.The quoting process was simple and straight forward. They did need to come to our house in order to give an accurate quote, but the quote ended up being very accurate.
