Real Advice from Detroit Movers
We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Detroit. (They’re really nice!)
"It's often a good idea to pack small loads and make multiple trips. Also be aware that there are no official loading zones around the dorms for move-out. All of the usual Ann Arbor parking regulations will be enforced."

Major Neighborhoods in Detroit
Detroit is Michigan’s most populated city and birthplace of the modern automobile — hence the nickname “Motor City”. But it's also home to Motown Records and a great live music scene. And it's one of only four US cities to host pro teams in all major sports: football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. So whether you spend your weekends going to games at Ford Field, exploring museums, or trying new restaurants, there's a Detroit neighborhood you'll love to call home.
Downtown Detroit
There is no shortage of iconic landmarks and attractions in Downtown Detroit. The skyscrapers of the Renaissance Center are the most eye-catching, but if you don't want to keep craning your neck up, check out the flowers, holiday lights, or artificial beach in Campus Martius. There's also the historic Greektown, which has been a culinary and cultural center in the city since the 1800s. Thinking of joining Downtown Detroit's community? Hiring professional movers who know the ins and outs of the neighborhood's unique layout is invaluable.
Midtown
The core of the city's arts and culture is undoubtedly Midtown. Previously known as "Cass Corridor" (and you'll still hear some locals call it that), it's home to the Detroit Cultural Center, a complex of museums and galleries. You'll also find Wayne State University's sprawling campus in the area and West Canfield Historic District's restored Queen Anne-style houses. However, consider hiring local professional movers if this area has you charmed enough to start planning a move. They're so familiar with the neighborhood, they'll save you time even through the festival and event crowds.
Corktown
Once home to Irish immigrants in the 1800s, Corktown's name pays homage to County Cork, Ireland. It's Detroit's oldest neighborhood, and has iconic landmarks like Michigan Central Station. Up and down the main thoroughfare Michigan Ave, you can find vintage shops, restaurants, and modern cafes like Bobcat Bonnie's (there's a mimosa bar!). Planning a move here can be a little intimidating, since navigating the narrow streets and limited parking options isn't easy. But hiring professional movers versed in Corktown's layout can ensure a hassle-free moving experience.
Woodbridge
Woodbridge is best known for its green spaces, proximity to other popular areas in the city, and Victorian-style homes. One is the Hunter House, a former bed and breakfast turned into a Historic Site. Another is the Trumbullplex, a housing collective with an art space and zine library open for public viewing. But if historic homes aren't your thing, you can try riding in the Woodbridge Bicycle Garden and look at the bicycle sculptures there instead. Our local movers can ensure your transition into the Woodbridge community is seamless and worry-free.

I had to keep rescheduling because of the delivery time of my POD and Precious (the receptionist in the office) was so patient and accommodating and the gentleman that called each time to confirm the change in time was also so helpful. I would definitely use them again. The workers were on time and placed everything just where I wanted it.

Harold and the young man who worked alongside him were absolutely excellent. They were on time and did exactly as I asked. I would certainly use them again.
I would recommend as they were punctual, efficient and professional. Handling my belongs with care. They definitely exceeded my expectations and made the moving process smooth and stress-free. They were also fast. Wish I could call them to unload in Ohio.
They were on time and incredibly prepared and efficient with my pod loading! Very respectful of space and property and I would happily hire them down
Awesome workers!! They communicated with me the whole time, they were very nice, respectful and quick. Highly recommend! I couldn’t ask for better people to help me with this project. Thank you ??
Excellent work and attitude from Brice and partner. I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone. I’ve used movers in the past and they’re as good as any moving company out there. Thanks gents!
Awesome team! Arrived on time with full crew. Friendly, hard working and respectful of the house. They packed a POD container for me and I couldn’t believe how much they were able to fit into the container and was amazed at their ability to organize and stack in such a way that nothing would shift in transit. Would highly recommend and would definitely use them again. Thank you Helping Hands team!
The crew arrived on n time. Engaged immediately. Their demeanor was pleasant helpful polite. Work ethic was professional and thorough. I’m pleased with the service, payment adjustment and all the company staff who provided service. I will easily recommend your company and staff. N.Holliday for Alexsander Martin
They were perfect! They were courteous and respectful but also friendly. True professionals and even managed to get my huge bed frame up the stairs and around the railings with no problem. I highly recommend this service! Well worth it.
Brice and his team were punctual, courteous, and super helpful. They even got me a discount for unused hours on the quote because they didn't need all the time that Simple Moving Marketplace included in the order. Highly recommend! I would definitely work with them again.
Bryce and his helper were very steady and strong in helping me with an 11,000 lb "unload only". I would hire them again, which is the highest compliment I could ever give.
