Why Choose Blue Dolly for movers in Uptown Minneapolis
Minnesota's highest-rated moving company — flat fees, in-house crews, no brokers.
Looking for movers in Uptown Minneapolis? Blue Dolly Moving & Storage runs crews through Uptown — Lyn-Lake, the Wedge, ECCO, and CARAG — every single week. We know which buildings have freight elevators, which alleys back-load fastest, and exactly how to pad-wrap a sectional through a Calhoun Square walk-up stairwell without scuffing the walls.
Most Uptown apartment moves are studio or 1-bedroom rentals priced at a flat $389–$549, all-inclusive. That means truck, fuel, two movers, blankets, dollies, shrink wrap — no surprise fees at the curb. We send a 26-foot truck (small enough for narrow Uptown alleys, big enough to do it in one trip) and a two-mover crew who carry standard COIs for every major Uptown property manager.
We also handle the boring logistics for you: temporary no-parking permits with the City of Minneapolis ($50–$80, included in your quote on request), elevator reservation calls, and certificate-of-insurance paperwork sent directly to your building's leasing office. You handle one thing — pointing at boxes — and we handle the rest.
If you're moving inside Uptown (a 6-block hop from a 4-plex on Bryant to a new build on Lagoon), our 2-hour minimum keeps short moves cheap. If you're moving out of Uptown to a suburb like Edina or Eden Prairie, we'll quote a flat door-to-door rate so you know the total before we touch a box.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Uptown Minneapolis movers cost?+
Most Uptown studio and 1-bedroom moves run $389–$549 flat with Blue Dolly. 2-bedroom apartments run $649–$899. All quotes include truck, two movers, fuel, dollies, blankets, and shrink wrap with no hidden fees.
Can you handle 3rd or 4th floor walk-ups in Uptown?+
Yes — walk-up apartments are our daily bread in Uptown. We add a small flat fee for stairs above the 2nd floor and bring extra crew if needed so your move still finishes in the quoted time window.
Do I need a parking permit for my Uptown move?+
On Hennepin, Lake, Lyndale, or any metered street — yes. We can pull a temporary no-parking permit from the City of Minneapolis for you (typically $50–$80) so the truck has guaranteed curb space the morning of your move.
Are you licensed to move out of Uptown to other Minnesota cities?+
Yes — Blue Dolly is fully licensed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation for in-state moves and FMCSA-registered (US DOT) for interstate. We move from Uptown to anywhere in MN/WI as a flat fee, and to anywhere in the lower 48 on contract.
