Moving in Chicago: three-flats, back porch stairs, May 1 lease peak, harsh winters

Chicago is famous for its two-flats and three-flats in neighborhoods like Logan Square, Lakeview and Pilsen. Movers often carry items up narrow back porch stairs instead of the front. Many alley-facing buildings make loading easier from the alley.

Lease turnover peaks around May 1 and October 1, so book early for those dates. Winter moves mean snow, ice and cold, so allow extra time. Downtown high-rises in the Loop and Streeterville usually need a booked freight elevator and a COI.
