DIRECTLY, WITHOUT USING SUBCONTRACTORS

If you ever read moving company reviews, you could notice that #1 reason why people experience issues when moving long distance is that their moving company outsources the delivery to other transportation companies and therefore loses control over the stuff.

In a situation like that the moving company can’t know where the stuff is and when exactly it will be delivered.

That is why at Roadway Moving we have our own trailers and we do not outsource delivery to others.

We can move you directly from Los Angeles to any part of Chicago and you can rest assured that your stuff will be packed safely, GPS tracked during the whole move and delivered on time.

Cost of living

Chicago offers a lower cost of living compared to New York City, making it an attractive option for those seeking big-city amenities at a more affordable price. While rent in Manhattan can exceed $3,000 per month, you can find similar apartments in Chicago’s vibrant neighborhoods like Lincoln Park or the West Loop for around $1,500 to $2,500. Groceries, dining, and transportation also tend to be less expensive in Chicago, allowing residents to enjoy the perks of a major metropolis without the extreme financial pressure of NYC.

Housing

Housing in Chicago is much more affordable than in New York City, with a range of options to fit different budgets and lifestyles. From trendy downtown high-rise apartments to charming homes in neighborhoods like Wicker Park or Lakeview, Chicago offers a diverse selection of housing at more reasonable prices than Manhattan. Suburbs such as Oak Park or Evanston offer family-friendly communities with larger homes, good schools, and easy access to the city via public transportation. Whether you’re looking for urban living or suburban comfort, Chicago’s housing market has something for everyone.

Job opportunities

Chicago is a major hub for industries such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology, providing a wealth of job opportunities. The city is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Boeing, United Airlines, and McDonald’s, making it a center for corporate headquarters. Additionally, the tech industry has been growing rapidly in Chicago, with many startups and established companies calling the city home. With its diverse economy and strong job market, Chicago offers plenty of opportunities for career growth across a range of sectors.

Education

Chicago offers excellent educational opportunities, both in terms of public and private schools as well as higher education institutions. The city is home to some of the best universities in the country, including the University of Chicago and Northwestern University, known for their world-class research and academic programs. Public schools in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park and the suburbs of Wilmette and Naperville are highly rated, making Chicago a great place for families seeking quality education. Additionally, there are numerous private schools and charter school options throughout the city.

Transportation

Chicago’s transportation system is extensive, with the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) operating a network of buses and the famous “L” trains that connect the city and suburbs. While traffic can be heavy during rush hour, Chicago is far easier to navigate than New York City, and many residents rely on public transit or bikes to get around. The city’s walkable neighborhoods also make it convenient to live without a car. O’Hare International Airport and Midway International Airport provide easy access for both domestic and international travel, ensuring that Chicago is a well-connected city.

Entertainment

Chicago is a cultural and entertainment powerhouse, offering a wide range of activities from world-class museums to exciting live music and theater. The city is home to iconic institutions like the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, and the Museum of Science and Industry. Chicago’s theater scene is vibrant, with renowned companies like Steppenwolf Theatre and the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. The city is also famous for its music, from blues and jazz to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Whether you’re enjoying a night out in River North or exploring one of the city’s many festivals, Chicago has endless entertainment options.

Parks and Recreation

Chicago’s expansive park system and access to Lake Michigan make it a fantastic place for outdoor enthusiasts. Millennium Park, with its iconic Cloud Gate sculpture (better known as “The Bean”), offers concerts, outdoor events, and green spaces in the heart of the city. The Chicago Lakefront Trail stretches for 18 miles along Lake Michigan, providing residents with opportunities for biking, running, and beach activities. Lincoln Park, one of the largest city parks, includes the free Lincoln Park Zoo and the beautiful Conservatory. With its well-maintained parks, beaches, and outdoor events, Chicago offers plenty of ways to enjoy nature year-round.
