Recent Moves Completed in Minneapolis

We move in Minneapolis on a daily basis. These are just a few experiences from real CMM customers.

We helped John and his wife downsize from a large home in Shakopee to a 2-bedroom apartment in Uptown.

"Our team showed up right on time, they were all polite, professional, and FAST. When I say these guys hustled... they HUSTLED. They handled all of our stuff with great care, and everything arrived in perfect condition. They made our move so much easier. They did a truly fantastic job and we will absolutely be using College Muscle Movers when we move in the future." - John in Uptown, November 22nd, 2025

We helped Laura pack her family’s belongings and move them to their new home in South Minneapolis.

"I have used CMM 4-5 times and have always been more than satisfied with the service. Always nice respectful, competent, capable, efficient with full service options. And I love that I can rent bins and don't have to find boxes and then fill the landfill - truly worthwhile feature. Thank you!" - Laura in South Minneapolis, December 6th, 2025

We helped Chris complete his relocation to Minnesota by unloading a POD into his new home in North Minneapolis.

"Movers arrived ahead of schedule went through all of the details fully. They handled my belongings as if they were their own. Very polite and professional. Got a fully loaded POD unloaded in less time than I could have imagined. I would use them again absolutely!!" - Chris in North Minneapolis, January 12th, 2026

We moved Aaron from Odin Apartments to a townhome across the River.

"Kyle and his crew performed a flawless move from our apartment to new townhome! Every item and box was handled with appropriate care and not a single thing was damaged in the move, which we were very impressed with, considering we had most of a 26' truck filled with bulky items. Will definitely use CMM again in the future based on our experience this time!" - Aaron in Minneapolis, February 25, 2026

What to Know Before Moving in Minneapolis

Moving in Minneapolis comes with a few local considerations:

Parking Logistics

Some areas may require temporary parking arrangements for moving trucks, especially in denser neighborhoods. Planning ahead prevents delays. If necessary, you can apply online for a Minneapolis obstruction permit.

Peak Moving Season

Late spring through early fall is the busiest time for moves in Minneapolis. Booking early helps secure your preferred date.

Student Turnover

Properties near the University of Minnesota experience heavy turnover in late summer. Availability fills quickly during this period.

Winter Moves

Snow and ice can complicate loading and unloading. We recommend clearing walkways in advance and confirming flexible timing during major snow events.
