PODS is your best Evanston local moving option

If you live anywhere in the Chicago Metropolitan Area and are looking for a change of environment Evanston can be an incredible choice. The schools have an average ranking of 9/10 which puts them in the top 20% of all the schools in the state of Illinois, which really makes it a great place to raise a family. Especially because you are only about 13 miles north of Chicago. This means that you still have access to all of the culture, pro sports, and upscale restaurants and shopping that Chicago offers. But you can choose from one of Evanston’s 19 different neighborhoods to find your perfect home!

When you make your move to Evanston with PODS, you get a personalized experience with expert support. We help you choose your container size, deliver the container right to your driveway, give you all the time you need to load, and then we deliver it to your new place.
