Do You Specialize in Senior Moves in Edgewater?

Do You Specialize in Senior Moves in Edgewater?

Last updated: October 2026

Yes. Edgewater is where our senior moving service does its most frequent work.

Edgewater has a lot of lakefront high-rises and vintage buildings, and many longtime residents have lived in the same apartment for decades. When it's time to downsize, move closer to family, or move into a retirement community, the move is about much more than furniture. It's about leaving a home full of memories, and doing it at a pace that feels right.

A pace that feels right

Senior moves don't have to happen in one rushed day. They can be spread over several days, so nobody feels pressured. Read can a senior move be spread over several days.

Packing help

Packing is the most-used add-on for our senior moves, and we unpack on request. Read do you help with packing for seniors.

Deciding what comes along

The new place is often smaller. Not everything fits. That's okay.

To family. Pieces can go to children and grandchildren. Read delivering items to family or donation during a senior move.

To storage. For pieces that need time. Read do you offer storage without a move.

To donation. Usable items go to local donation centers. We provide a receipt and an invoice for every donation pickup.

Retirement and assisted living

Many Edgewater senior moves are into retirement or assisted living communities. Those communities often have their own move-in rules. Read moving an elderly parent into assisted living.

High-rise moves

Lakefront high-rises have elevator windows and COI requirements. Two weeks is a safe lead time. Read how far ahead should Edgewater high-rise moves be booked.

White glove

For many seniors, white glove makes the biggest difference. With white glove, customers rest while we handle every step. The new home is set up on the first day. Read white glove vs. standard moving.

Working with family

Adult children often help plan a parent's move, sometimes from another city, juggling their own jobs and families while trying to make sure the move goes gently and nothing important gets left behind or given away by mistake. Photos and phone calls help, and family members can each tell us which pieces are theirs before moving day.

Taking time to say goodbye

Leaving a longtime home is hard. A slower pace gives everyone time to walk through the rooms one last time, take photos, and say goodbye properly. We plan the move so there's room for that.

How it's priced

Senior moves are hourly, like our other moves, with a 2-hour minimum. More days and more stops mean more time. Read how much does a senior move cost.

Vintage buildings

Not every Edgewater senior move is a high-rise. Some are in vintage courtyard walk-ups. Read can you move me out of a vintage courtyard walk-up in Edgewater.

Senior moves are covered on our Edgewater movers page and our senior citizen moving service, part of our moving services.

Call (773) 275-4100 or email info@wcmoving.com, and tell us about the move.

I have used Windy City Movers for my last three moves in Chicago. Both the moving crew and the in-office staff are great! They wrapped all my items, moved them carefully, and were attentive.

I had an excellent move out experience with Windy City movers. I had a two bedroom apartment that also had a piano, and I lived on the top third floor without an elevator.
