Why Tempe chooses Gilbert Moving

Tempe never stops moving. Between ASU’s academic calendar, the dense apartment blocks around Mill Avenue, and the young professionals working the tech campuses on Tempe Town Lake, lease-end turnover here is a year-round sport — and parking and stair access are half the job.

We help Tempe families move a parent from a longtime South Tempe or The Lakes home into a smaller residence or care community, frequently coordinating with adult children who live elsewhere. We sort, pack, move, and set up so the new place is livable from night one.

We work with families remotely and locally, keeping everyone informed with photos and updates throughout the Tempe move.

Local know-how for Tempe moves

Tempe is a stairs-and-parking town. Around Mill Avenue and the ASU campus we arrange loading-zone permits, reserve elevators in high-density complexes, and plan third-floor walk-ups before arrival, so a tight apartment turnover doesn’t blow up the timeline.

How to choose a Tempe mover (and avoid the bad ones)

If you’re comparing senior moving companies in Tempe, a few checks keep you safe. Verify the mover’s license — a legitimate company has a USDOT number you can look up on the FMCSA website (ours is 3190108). Confirm they carry insurance and will put your move details in writing. And read recent reviews to see how they handle real move days. If anything feels vague or rushed, ask plenty of questions before you commit.
