WHY BOSTON

Pros of Moving from Chicago to Boston

✓

The Academic and Medical Capital of the Country
Boston has more universities and teaching hospitals per square mile than any other U.S. city. Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Tufts anchor a research economy that pulls talent from everywhere. If your career is in medicine, biotech, education, or research, Boston puts you at the center of it.

✓

A Walkable City Where You Can Ditch the Car
Chicago is spread out and most residents depend on driving for errands, even with the CTA. Boston is compact enough that many residents walk, bike, or take the T to work and never touch a car. Neighborhoods like Beacon Hill, the South End, and Cambridge are built for foot traffic.

✓

Waterfront Access That Feels Different Every Season
Chicago has Lake Michigan, but Boston gives you the harbor, the Charles River, and the Atlantic coastline all within minutes. Summers bring sailing, kayaking, and harbor walks that rival anything on the lakefront. Fall turns the Esplanade and the Charles into some of the best scenery on the East Coast.

✓

A Sports City That Matches Chicago Pound for Pound
Chicago fans are loyal, and so are Boston fans — that much you already know. The Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots give Boston a year-round sports identity that few cities can match. You will trade United Center for TD Garden, but the intensity stays the same.

✓

Everything Is Closer Together
Chicago’s metro area stretches for miles in every direction, and commuting across the city can take over an hour. Boston’s footprint is smaller, which means shorter commutes, quicker errands, and more time at home. Most Boston neighborhoods are 15 to 25 minutes apart even during rush hour.

PRICING

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.

Poseidon just moved my furniture from Boston to San Francisco, and they did an amazing job. 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!

They really have a very nice team. I have used their services not once but twice. First time within Massachusetts and Second time Massachusetts to New Jersey. They are a thouroughly professional team at affordable price. We can rely on them and they are flexible enough with our travel plans. I opted for full packing, they patiently listened and attended to each of household items with care. I can recommend them to any. They ease your tensions and get things done one time. I am always grateful to this team
