Moving Services in Apache Junction
Downsizing and Retirement Moves
About 34 percent of Apache Junction residents are 65 or older. A move into a smaller home or a 55+ park is a residential move billed at $184 to $204 an hour, and two movers with a truck cost $204 an hour at the regular rate. Measure the new space first so the movers load only what fits.
Manufactured and Park Home Moves
Moving out of a manufactured or park home runs on the same hourly rate as any household move. Narrow park streets and tight carports are worth mentioning during the walkthrough.
Local Moves Toward the Valley
A local move from Apache Junction to Mesa, Gilbert, or Queen Creek runs on the hourly rate. Downtown Phoenix is about 33 to 36 miles west by US-60, so a move into the city carries more drive time. Our Phoenix movers handle the city end of those moves.
Long Distance and Seasonal Return Moves
Long distance moves ride on a truck dedicated to your belongings, and you get a direct phone number for the movers. From the Phoenix area to Chicago, a typical household runs $20,659 to $24,791 in our estimates. A cross-country move back east works the same way.
Packing, Boxes, and Storage
The movers can pack for you, or you can order boxes and supplies. If you split the year between Arizona and another home, storage can hold furniture between seasons.
Apache Junction Movers: Hourly Pricing
For an Apache Junction move we typically charge $184 to $204 an hour, depending on the day and our availability. Two movers and one truck bill $204 an hour at the regular rate.
| Movers and trucks | Regular hourly rate |
|---|---|
| 2 movers and 1 truck | $204 |
| 3 movers and 1 truck | $277 |
| 4 movers and 2 trucks | $373 |
The hourly rate covers the movers, the truck, and the dollies, straps, and blankets. A small park home needs fewer hours than a desert home with a full garage and outdoor items. Weekend and summer dates carry premium rates, and certain weekdays come in lower.
Manufactured Homes, Parks, and Winter Residents
Park Rules and Access
Apache Junction and nearby Gold Canyon have dozens of mobile home and RV parks, including several 55+ parks. Each park sets its own rules for move hours, truck size, and parking. Ask the park office before you book, and send us the gate or office instructions.
Winter Population
The city’s population roughly doubles in winter, from about 40,000 year-round residents to around 80,000. If you are moving in or out around the winter season, reserve your date early.
Temporary Moving Containers
Apache Junction zoning rules allow temporary moving containers, such as PODS, in all zoning districts for up to 60 days without a permit. City rules also keep containers out of the public right-of-way and alleys.
Weather, Washes, and Festival Weekends
Monsoon Storms and Washes
Many Apache Junction washes drain from the Superstition Mountains. In July 2022, 1 to 3 inches of rain in an hour or two overflowed Weekes Wash and closed roads, and a 2019 storm closed more than 20 roads. During monsoon season, check road closures before move day.
Summer Heat
Apache Junction averages a July high of about 105 degrees. If your date is flexible, an early start keeps the heavy carrying out of the afternoon heat.
Renaissance Festival Traffic
The Arizona Renaissance Festival runs on weekends from late January to late March on US-60 in Gold Canyon, east of the city. Expect slower traffic on US-60 on festival weekends, and pick a weekday if your move heads that way.
