Dundee: Charm, Brick, and Really Tight Driveways
We love Dundee’s classic bungalows and tree-lined streets—but they weren’t exactly designed with box trucks in mind.
Local Moving Insight:
- Narrow, shared driveways are common.
- Alley access? Sometimes your only option.
- Brick streets = bumpy ride for your breakables.
Pro Tip: Schedule your move early in the day and let your neighbors know.
Benson: Hills, Hipsters, and Surprise Elevation
Benson’s got soul—and slope. It’s one of Omaha’s coolest neighborhoods, but moving here can feel like cardio.
Local Moving Insight:
Several homes are perched on hills with long sidewalks or outdoor stairs.
Several homes are perched on hills with long sidewalks or outdoor stairs.
- Limited curb space means double-parking is almost inevitable.
- Popular weekend foot traffic can slow you down.
Pro Tip: If your home is on a hill, consider booking extra muscle to handle the heavy lifting. Yes, we do that.
Midtown: Parking? What Parking?
From Blackstone to Gifford Park, Midtown has exploded with growth—but not parking spaces.
Local Moving Insight:
- Narrow streets packed with street-parked cars.
- Apartment moves? Usually come with tricky loading zones (if any).
- Elevator access might be nonexistent—so, hello staircases.
Pro Tip: We recommend weekday moves when the streets are quieter and it’s easier to grab a curb spot.
West Omaha: Room to Breathe (And Giant Sectionals to Move)
Ahh, suburbia! West Omaha homes often have bigger garages and driveways, which sounds great—until you try to move that massive sectional down a twisty staircase.
Local Moving Insight:
- New builds sometimes have narrow door frames despite open floor plans.
- Neighborhood HOAs may have moving restrictions or time limits.
- Longer distances = more time loading/unloading.
Pro Tip: Measure every door before moving day. We’ve had to disassemble and reassemble more furniture in West Omaha than anywhere else.
Winter Moves? Yes, Even in Nebraska
People think moving in Omaha winter = disaster. Not true! We’ve done hundreds of snowy, successful moves.
Local Moving Insight:
- Side streets are last to get plowed.
- Salted sidewalks aren’t always a given.
- Cold weather = shrinkage (yes, we mean your door seals).
Pro Tip: We bring blankets—for furniture and your toes. Winter moves can actually mean more availability and lower demand.
