How much do movers cost in Burnsville?

Expect $590–$890 for a 1-bedroom, $890–$1,450 for a 2-bedroom, and $1,450–$2,600 for a 3-bedroom house, all-inclusive. Third-floor walk-up apartments sit toward the top of the 1-bedroom band.

Is Burnsville a good place to live?

It's one of the more affordable well-connected south-metro cities — 20–25 minutes to downtown Minneapolis, a major transit hub, strong retail, and a lot of housing under the metro median price.

Do you move third-floor walk-up apartments?

Yes, and we tell you the flat fee before move day. Walk-ups take longer, so we staff a bigger crew rather than letting the clock run.

How far is Burnsville from Minneapolis?

Roughly 20–25 minutes via I-35W outside rush hour, with express bus service from the Burnsville Transit Station.

Can you move me from Minneapolis to Burnsville?

It's one of our most frequent routes. Local moves within the metro are quoted as one flat fee including drive time and mileage.

What it's like living in Burnsville

Burnsville sits just across the Minnesota River from Bloomington, where I-35 splits into 35W and 35E. That interchange defines the city: it's the gateway between the Twin Cities and the southern suburbs, with a retail spine along County Road 42 and Burnsville Center.

Housing runs more affordable than the southwest suburbs, with a lot of 1970s–80s splits, ramblers, and townhomes plus substantial apartment stock. It's a common landing spot for first-time buyers and for households moving out of Minneapolis for more space at a lower price.

Housing in Burnsville

Split-level and split-entry homes from the 1970s and 1980s are the most common single-family type, alongside ramblers and a big townhome market. Apartment inventory is large and mostly walk-up or low-rise, which means more stair carries than an elevator building.

What our crews plan for on a Burnsville move

Split-entry stairs slow every large item — crew size matters more than truck size in this city.

Walk-up apartment buildings without elevators are common; third-floor units add real handling time, priced into the flat fee up front.

Buck Hill-area slopes need salt and runners in winter, and careful truck positioning year-round.

35W/35E interchange congestion is heavy at peak — we start early.

First-time-buyer moves here often include a storage gap between lease end and closing; we store and deliver on one contract.
