Moving to Illinois? Here’s What to Expect

Illinois offers a strong job market, cultural diversity, and major metropolitan areas, but moving from Minnesota requires some planning:

‍
‍Climate Differences – Illinois has hot summers and cold winters, similar to Minnesota, but more humidity. Proper packing for temperature-sensitive items like wood furniture and electronics is essential.

‍
‍Popular Moving Destinations – We’ve helped customers relocate to Chicago, Springfield, Naperville, Rockford, and Peoria. No matter where you’re headed, Minne Movers will get you there.

‍
‍Best Time to Move – Spring and fall are the best times for moving to Illinois, avoiding the extreme heat of summer and unpredictable winter storms.

Minne Movers ensures your transition is smooth so you can start your next chapter in Illinois with ease.

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.
