A typical full‑service move in Bend can range widely in price. Local movers in Central Oregon charge based on the state of Oregon-approved moving tariffs, with total costs varying from $300-$400 for a studio to around $1,500-$3,000 for a four‑bedroom home. Most two‑ or three‑bedroom moves average between $700 and $1,500, depending on the crew size and hours involved. Factors like the size of your home, the distance between locations, and whether you need packing, full protection, and specialty services all influence the final price. We’ve moved small 1-bedroom homes off of Newport and Galveston, all the way up to working ranches in Powell Butte and Tumalo. Size is one factor of a move, but no two moves are exactly alike. For the most accurate picture, we recommend reaching out for a personalized estimate so you know what to expect before moving day– it makes coordinating a game plan much easier. Most estimates are less than 20 minutes.
Bend has neighborhoods for every lifestyle. If you love historic charm and walkability, Old Bend puts you near Drake Park and Mirror Pond with tree‑lined streets, restored Craftsman houses, and easy access to breweries, restaurants, and local events. Families often gravitate to Northwest Crossing, a planned community with Craftsman‑style homes, highly rated schools, a town centre with shops and cafés, and close proximity to parks like Discovery and Shevlin.
Outdoor enthusiasts flock to the Westside, where the Deschutes River Trail, Cascade Lakes, and Mt. Bachelor are just outside your door, and where a mix of rustic cabins and modern mountain homes sit within walking distance of iconic breweries. For more space and affordability, Southeast Bend features newer subdivisions with roomy yards, easy access to parks such as Ponderosa and Larkspur and a quieter, community‑oriented atmosphere. And if you're looking for upscale living, Awbrey Butte offers large, custom homes, panoramic views of the Cascades and Deschutes River, and a tranquil, hillside setting near golf courses.
Bend’s high-desert climate allows for moving nearly year-round, though some seasons are more comfortable than others. Summer offers long, sunny days but can be busy with tourists, while winter brings snow and cold nights—great for skiers but tougher for driving and outdoor work. We’ve helped clients move even in two feet of snow, so we’re always prepared for any season.
Many locals find late spring or early fall ideal for relocating. May and September–October bring mild temperatures and fewer crowds, making it easier to schedule movers and settle in. Autumn, in particular, is a favorite—warm days, cool nights, and light rainfall after summer make it one of the best times to experience Bend.
Ultimately, the best time to move depends on your schedule and lifestyle—but our Bend team works year-round, ready to help with our moving trucks whenever you’re ready to go.
We offer complete moving services, including local and long-distance moves, professional packing and unpacking, labor-only loading and unloading, furniture assembly and disassembly, junk removal, recycling, and secure storage options. Our skilled crews are also experienced in handling specialty items such as pianos, antiques, and office equipment with care.
We frequently help customers move items to and from storage units, though we don’t own or operate our own facilities. If you need a trusted storage recommendation, our team will be glad to point you in the right direction.
Tipping is never expected but always appreciated. A general guideline is 15–20% of the total moving cost, or for smaller local moves, $10–$20 per mover. Ultimately, it’s up to you — we encourage tipping based on the quality of service you receive, and our movers are always grateful for the gesture!
Our seasoned crews are Central Oregon locals and can adapt to unique conditions — planning routes around seasonal traffic and highways, securing parking at your home or downtown, and moving you quickly and safely across town.
Already have a rental truck or portable container? Let our team handle the heavy lifting — we’ll load, unload, or rearrange your items as needed. We can even assist with home staging to get your property ready for sale.
If your move-out and move-in dates don’t match up, we’ll safely store your belongings in our secure, climate-controlled facility. We treat every item like it is specialized equipment that needs care, which is why we pad-wrap every item for protection, and we maintain detailed inventories for your peace of mind.
Moving to a smaller home or into assisted living? Our caring team assists seniors with sorting, packing, and moving — always with patience, respect, and special attention to treasured belongings.
Bend sits at the heart of Central Oregon’s high desert, roughly three hours southeast of Portland by car. The city’s unique geography—perched between the Cascade Mountains and the sagebrush plains—gives residents easy access to both alpine forests and desert vistas. Commuters rely on U.S. 97 and other east‑west highways (20, 26, and 126) to connect Bend with nearby towns like Redmond, Sisters, and La Pine. Roberts Field Airport (RDM) in Redmond is just a 20‑minute drive from downtown Bend and offers direct flights to major cities across the West. Shuttle and bus services link Bend with Portland and other Oregon communities, making regional travel straightforward.
If you’re moving to Bend, be prepared to spend a lot of time outdoors. Bend Park & Recreation District manages more than 80 local parks—over 2,600 acres of trails, playgrounds, and open space. You can stroll the 13‑acre Drake Park along Mirror Pond in downtown Bend, climb the 500‑foot Pilot Butte, a dormant volcano within city limits that offers panoramic views of the Cascades and Oregon Badlands, or explore the 159‑acre Pine Nursery Park, complete with soccer fields, pickleball courts, a disc‑golf course, and a 14‑acre dog park. Nearby state and national parks—including Smith Rock and the Newberry National Volcanic Monument—add even more adventure. Year‑round sunshine (250–300 days annually) and a high‑desert climate with warm summers (80–90 °F) and snowy winters mean you can ski Mt. Bachelor in the morning, then bike the Deschutes River Trail or paddleboard at one of the Cascade Lakes in the afternoon.
Bend’s calendar is packed with festivals and community gatherings that celebrate everything from art and music to craft beer and film. Annual events include the Sunriver Music Festival, Art in the High Desert, the Little Woody barrel‑aged brew festival, Reggae Rise Up, Bend Comedy Festival, Cascade Equinox Festival, Sisters Folk Festival, and the Bend Film Festival. These festivals draw locals and visitors alike—beer lovers, artists, mountain bikers, families, and van‑lifers—to scenic venues along the Deschutes River and under the Cascade peaks. Neighborhood farmers' markets, the Bend Summer Festival and WinterFest, and regular concerts at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater offer year‑round entertainment. Bend’s arts and culinary scenes flourish with more than 30 craft breweries, farm‑to‑table restaurants, and galleries featuring local artists.
People move to Bend for its clean air, laid‑back lifestyle, and strong sense of community. You’ll find Ponderosa pine forests and sagebrush hills right outside your door, along with a friendly, dog‑loving culture and miles of urban trails. The city boasts a robust economy supported by healthcare, tourism, tech, and outdoor industries. That said, newcomers should plan ahead: housing is expensive—median home prices have climbed above $800,000, and rentals average $2,000–$2,500 per month. Utility bills remain moderate at roughly $180–$250 per month, but groceries and dining out are slightly above national averages.
Bend is also remote; it’s a three‑hour drive to Portland, and most long‑distance flights require connections. Wildfire season in July and August can bring smoky skies and occasional evacuation warnings. Despite these challenges, the blend of small‑town charm, endless recreation, and a supportive community makes Bend a rewarding place to call home.
Don’t let clutter slow down your move. Our Bend junk removal specialists handle everything from furniture and appliance disposal to yard waste and post‑renovation debris. We donate and recycle whenever possible to keep waste out of landfills.
