Pros of Moving from Austin to Chicago
✓ More Affordable Urban Housing
While Austin’s housing market has seen a sharp rise in home values, Chicago offers a more balanced and accessible real estate landscape. The median home price in Illinois is around $280,000 compared to Austin’s $450,000+, meaning you’ll likely get more space for your money in many Chicago neighborhoods. Renters can also find affordable options in areas like Albany Park, Avondale, and Rogers Park.
✓ Diversified Job Market Across Industries
While Austin, Texas is known for tech and startups, Chicago’s economy spans a much wider range. The city is a major national hub for finance, education, healthcare, logistics, and law. It’s home to major employers like United Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and numerous Fortune 500 companies—offering strong job opportunities across sectors.
✓ Accessible Public Transit & Walkable Living
In contrast to Austin’s car-dependent infrastructure, Chicago’s CTA transit system makes it easy to get around without owning a car. Between the ‘L’ trains, buses, and walkable neighborhoods, the city supports an active lifestyle and reduces the stress of commuting. Neighborhoods like Lakeview, Lincoln Square, and Wicker Park are ideal for pedestrians and bikers alike.
✓ Dynamic Culture, Arts & Music Scene
From the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to world-renowned museums like the Art Institute, Chicago offers deep cultural roots. The city’s neighborhoods each bring their own flavor—Pilsen for murals and Latinx culture, Hyde Park for jazz and architecture, and Logan Square for indie music and nightlife.
✓ Lakeside Recreation & Four Distinct Seasons
One of the perks of leaving Austin’s year-round heat is enjoying true seasonal variety. Chicagoans experience crisp autumns, snowy winters, and beautiful spring blooms. In summer, Lake Michigan becomes a playground, with beaches, waterfront trails, and scenic skyline views.

Booking Poseidon Moving services couldn't have been easier and the attention given couldn't have been topped. Oleg was a great communicator and we got plenty of emailed information on what to expect moving day and how to best prepare for it. On moving day, communication with the moving crew was clear and concise. The moving team was careful with our belongings and efficient moving things out and into our new place. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Everything about using Poseidon was great! Professional and fast service, and everything arrived in perfect condition right on time. The price and delivery window for my cross country move was by far the most ideal.

They took great care packing my furniture with padding and blankets, and everything arrived in perfect condition. They stuck to their pick-up and delivery dates, and the upfront pricing was spot on—no surprise charges. The whole experience far exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!
