Moving in Akron

Akron is a city of neighborhoods, and each one moves a little differently. In Highland Square and West Akron it's older two-story homes with narrow staircases and street parking that has to be worked out before the truck arrives. Firestone Park, Wallhaven and Ellet are mostly single-family streets where the driveway does the work. Downtown, the newer apartment conversions bring elevators, loading zones and building managers who want a certificate of insurance on file before move-in.

August is its own season here. University of Akron students move in and out in the same few weeks, so if you need a weekend that month, book early. We also move offices downtown after hours, so the business opens on time the next morning. Most Akron jobs connect to somewhere close by: Fairlawn, Cuyahoga Falls, Green, Barberton, Copley or Tallmadge, or back toward Medina County.

Reviews from Akron

Brian and Matt did a terrific job of orchestrating the move my Matrix A30 Ascent trainer from Akron to Cleveland. Though there some tight corners and tricky steps with which they had to deal, the hevy exercise machine move was handled quickly and well. Brian and Matt were highly responsive, very courteous, and prompt. Excellent working with the two of them! Thank You Guys!!

Midwest Moving Direct was amazing! They moved my stuff from Akron to Downtown Cleveland and made the whole process so easy and stress-free. They were so kind, professional, and careful with everything. Super awesome team and great service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Taylor O., AkronMove to downtown Cleveland

We’ve used Midwest Moving Direct twice in the past year and they are amazing! They take impeccable care of your belongings and home while they move things in and out. One of our moves was from Columbus, Ohio to Akron, Ohio, and another one from Bath Ohio. Joey and Jimmy made the process as stress-free as moving can be! I would recommend Joey Todaro’s company to anyone considering a local or long distance move ~ Sue

Frequently asked questions

Can you handle street parking in Highland Square and West Akron?

Yes. We look at the street before move day, plan where the truck goes, and tell you if a parking permit or a word with the neighbors will help.

Do you move University of Akron students?

Yes. August is the busiest stretch, so book two to three weeks ahead. Small dorm and apartment moves usually fit our small-load rate; see our single item and small load movers page.

How far ahead should I book an Akron move?

Two to three weeks for a spring or summer weekend, longer for the end of August. November through March we can often move you within a few days.

Can you move a piano out of an older Akron home?

Yes. Narrow stairs and tight turns are common in older Akron houses, so we ask for photos of the path and send a three-person crew when the piano needs it.

How far is Akron from your office?

About 25 minutes from 350 State Street in Wadsworth, which keeps Akron a local move.
