What Movers Run Into in University City

University City has its own set of rules and rhythms that shape a move here, from residential parking permits to campus move-in season.

Residential Parking Permits and Curb Access

Many streets in University City, especially blocks near the Delmar Loop and Washington University, are part of the city’s residential parking permit program, which limits parking to permit holders. If your block is in a permit area, check with University City’s Planning and Development office before your move date to see whether a temporary curb reservation applies to your truck.

Moving in the Historic Districts

Parts of University City, including the Delmar Loop-Parkview Gardens Historic District, have narrow lots and homes built in the early 1900s. Older brick homes in this part of town often have tighter driveways and smaller garages, so we plan truck placement and a walking path for furniture before we start loading.

Washington University Move Season

University City sits right next to Washington University, and the last two weeks of August get busy with student move-ins and move-outs at apartments along the Loop. Booking in July or early August gives you a better shot at the exact date and time you want.

University City Neighborhoods

University City splits into a few distinct pockets, and each one changes what a move here looks like.

South of Delmar: Parkview and the Historic District

South of Delmar Boulevard, homes in Parkview and the surrounding historic district are larger Tudor and Colonial Revival houses built in the early 1900s. These moves usually mean careful handling of narrow staircases and older doorframes, plus coordination with Parkview’s private street access.

North of Delmar: Ranch and Bungalow Blocks

North of Delmar, University City is mostly smaller ranch and bungalow homes on straightforward residential streets. These moves tend to go faster, with easier truck access and shorter carries from the curb to the door.

The Loop: New Apartments and Vintage Walk-Ups

The Delmar Loop mixes newer apartment buildings with elevators and loading areas with older walk-up conversions with narrow stairwells and no elevator at all. We ask about building type and floor number before move day so we bring the right equipment and enough time for the stairs.

Services We Offer in University City

University City moves range from apartment turnovers near campus to long distance relocations out of state. Here is what we handle in University City and the surrounding area.

This was a fairly complicated move made smooth and efficient by Mike, Michael, and Vaughn! These men can move the world! Every item was carefully wrapped and unwrapped, furniture was placed exactly where we wanted it, and no request was inconvenient. I was a total pain with wanting things moved here and there, and they were so patient and kind! The move was made smooth and easy by these three professionals! Thank you!

They were absolutely AMAZING. Worked from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and moved a big house full of the stuff of 5 kids and 2 adults into another big house–no complaints, so pleasant, polite and professional. We enjoyed working with them all day and felt entirely comfortable having them move all our things, they took great care to make sure things were done safely and correctly. They worked great as a team and we felt like they were on our team as well! We would recommend them without reservation, and use them again (though we DO NOT want to move again any time soon!!!). Having furniture taken apart and the reassembled was an incredible service.

Jared and Devyn’s crew was amazing and I appreciate everything they did. Highly recommend - best crew.

Megan Schranck

Worst experience ever. They stole $200 cash from our shelf. Treadmill cord was sliced in half. They left food and drink trash all over our house. Stuff was put in all the wrong places (even though I color coded everything for them and verbally told them where it goes). So now I need to hire people to come move furniture around. Have never felt so violated. Cannot recommend this company.

They no longer work in Texas!
