Benefits of Moving from Boston to Chicago
Boston and Chicago are two very unique cities, and so moving from Boston to Chicago means opening yourself up to a whole new world. While there’s plenty to love about Boston, there’s just as much to enjoy in the Windy City. Let’s take a look at just a few benefits of calling Chicago home…
Food Lover’s Paradise
Sure, Chicago is known for deep dish pizza. But the city has so much more to offer when it comes to culinary delights. There’s plenty of five-star restaurants owned by celebrity chefs, but grass-roots food is another point of pride in Chicago. Get fresh fruits and veggies at a local farmer’s market, or snag some Italian beef. You’ll find some of the highest-rated food spots in the world in Chicago, but there’s also nothing quite as good as a hotdog at Wrigley Field.
Lake Michigan
While the Atlantic Ocean will no longer be your backyard once you move from Boston to Chicago, you won’t miss the water. Why? You’ll have access to beautiful Lake Michigan (and even the Chicago River!). Take the family out for a day on the water for skiing, tubing, fishing, and more. Or go for a relaxing day on the beach with your feet in the sand and a cocktail in your hand. Of course, circle St. Patrick’s Day on your calendar so you can enjoy water a whole new way when the city turns the Chicago River green!
Weather Anyone Can Enjoy
You’re coming from Boston, so you know all about the cold. And yes, Chicago is plenty cold in the winter. But you’ll still get those days of beautiful snow and three other seasons of gorgeous weather. In the fall, you’ll get those incredible changes of color that makes every experience just a little bit nicer. Of course, summer never gets too hot and the Chicago spring is some of the most comfortable weather you can find just about anywhere.
No Shortage of Sports
Boston is a sports crazy town, but so is Chicago. And while you might have to say goodbye to the likes of Fenway Park, you’ll still get to see plenty of Boston teams when they come to town to play one of the many Chicago sports teams. From the White Sox to the Cubs to the Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, and beyond, there’s a game just about every day of the year. And some of those teams get to call historic stadiums home, like Wrigley Field.
It’s a City of Adventure
Like any of America’s great cities, Chicago has no shortage of entertainment and activities to keep you busy throughout the year. For starters, beautiful architecture is weaved throughout the city, making every stroll a wondrous adventure. If art and culture is what you’re looking for, head over to Millennium Park for festivals and all sorts of family-friendly entertainment. Head down to Navy Pier for a day of fun by the water filled with great food, delicious drinks, and plenty of things to see. The Shedd Aquarium gives you and your children an up-close look at the ocean’s animals. And the Museum of Contemporary Art is perfect for a relaxing day of cultural fulfillment.
Packing Tips
When it comes to long-distance moving, the packing process can be one of the most important aspects of a stress-free move. When you know you’ve packed correctly, you can have peace of mind during the journey. And you’ll also have a much easier time unpacking when you reach Chicago!
Let’s check out a few tips…
- Start With More Than Enough Boxes
There’s nothing worse than getting through 75% of the packing process and realizing you don’t have enough boxes. Save yourself a time, an extra trip, and a lot of frustration by stocking up ahead of time. An easy way to do so is using our resources! We can deliver boxes straight to your home. We’ll be sure to deliver more than you need, then we’ll pick up any boxes you don’t use. Of course, you’ll only pay for the boxes you actually use. - Disassemble Furniture
Big, clunky furniture can be awkward to move. On top of dealing with the weight, it’s hard to get around door frames and staircases without hitting something. So, take apart your furniture first. Our moving team is more than happy to do it for you. We’ll disassemble your furniture, then put it back together once we get to your Chicago home. - Label Every Box
Make the unpacking process easier on yourself by taking a few minutes to write down what each box contains and where it goes. Once you arrive in Chicago, you’ll be able to place boxes where they need to be, speeding up your unpacking process by hours.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when moving from Boston to Chicago is failing to account for everything they’ll need when it comes to moving themselves. For example, you won’t just need to rent a moving truck. You’ll also need to pay for gas and navigate the moving truck through highways and city streets. You won’t just be moving boxes. You’ll also be moving furniture, delicate items, and more.
Instead of dealing with the planning, preparation, and frustrations of long-distance moving, let us do it all for you. Thanks to our extremely low rates, it’s often far more cost effective for movers to hire us than to pay for moving trucks, gas, storage, materials, and more! We bring premium packing materials, a well-maintained moving vehicle, pristine equipment, storage options, and more to the table.
And when we do everything, you can sit back and relax. We’ll plan the ideal moving process for your budget and schedule. We can handle the packing, loading, transportation, and unloading with an experienced moving team. And with special features like GPS tracking, you can stay in control of the moving process from start to finish. We’ll be happy to answer every question you have along the way.
