Cost ranges for Melrose Park moves
For moves within Cook County or nearby suburbs, local crews usually charge by the hour. Leaving Illinois shifts the estimate toward total weight and mileage rather than time.
| Move type | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Local hourly | $120–$192 per hour for 2–3 movers and a truck |
| Local 1–2 bedroom | $1,300–$2,500, rising with heavy specialty items or volume |
| Interstate | $3,000–$10,000+, based mainly on weight and mileage |
For smaller local jobs, a one-bedroom apartment with two movers can start around $360. Some modestly sized apartments moved by professional movers fall between $400 and $750.
Heavy specialty pieces such as pianos or large safes, along with total volume, can push a local move toward the upper end of the typical range. Mention those items when you contact a mover.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Cook County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 8% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
