True Move is a residential moving company in Tempe, and the homes here are not all alike. Some lakefront houses in The Lakes have private boat docks, Maple-Ash holds Tempe’s highest concentration of historic properties, and Mirabella at ASU is a 20-story high-rise. Our residential movers in Tempe plan each job around that.

Before we quote a home move in Tempe, we ask what kind of place it is: a lakefront house, a historic home, a condo or an apartment building. Each one has its own loading and timing needs, and we plan for them.
Moving within Tempe can mean an apartment, a house in The Lakes built between 1970 and 1980, or a historic home near Maple-Ash. As apartment movers in Tempe, we confirm parking and building access first. For houses, we go over the layout with you, then match crew size and packing to the home.
Our movers are trained and experienced in residential moves of every kind. In Tempe, that means treating a lakefront house in The Lakes differently from a high-rise unit, and sizing the crew to the home.
We pack and unpack, including fragile glassware, antiques, artwork and furniture, and place items where you want them. For a full-service house move in Tempe, AZ, that means a crew that can handle the packing, the truck and the unpacking.
Your quote lists what is included. Tell us about the building, the parking and the carry to the door, and we price the move you actually have.
Our customer service team answers questions and gives updates throughout your move. Ask us about building move-in rules, the carry from truck to door, or timing around Tempe’s every-other-month bulk pickup.
Local moves in Tempe run on short drives, so the work is in the loading order and access. Whether it is a high-rise on Mill Avenue or a house in The Lakes, we load so each room comes off the truck together.
Leaving Tempe for another state? Our well-maintained trucks and experienced drivers handle long-distance moves. Before the truck loads, sort what you will not take, since the city’s bulk pickup comes only every other month.

Housing Mix
How Tempe's mix of homes shapes the way we plan
Parts of Tempe are in the Kyrene School District, so we ask families about school dates when choosing a move day.
Access Check
We confirm parking, gates and elevators ahead of moving day
At Mirabella at ASU, residents moved in four units a day at opening, so we plan around building schedules.
Leftover Items
How Tempe's city drop-off sites fit into your move plan
Tempe’s Household Products Collection Center, 1320 E. University Drive, takes appliances and paint Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Ready to plan your move? Tell us the address, the type of home and any access details, such as a gate, a high-rise elevator or a long carry from the curb. We will send a quote based on that. If you are clearing out before the move, ask about our pickup and haul off for furniture and appliances, since Tempe’s city bulk pickup comes only every other month. Request a free quote and we will take it from there.
Careful handling starts with the route. In a historic Maple-Ash home we plan the path through each room, and at a lakefront house in The Lakes we ask whether a private boat dock holds anything to move.
Sort first. Tempe’s bulk pickup comes every other month, and residents may drop up to 1,000 pounds once a month at no extra charge at the Sky Harbor Regional Transfer Station, which does not take soil.
Our crew arrives ready to load room by room and adjust to your building’s parking and access.
Our team unpacks and places items where you want them. Old appliances can go to Tempe’s HPCC, which takes washers, dryers and stoves, or we can haul them off.
Relocating out of state or across the country? We move households from Tempe to any contiguous state, and the same access check applies at both addresses.
Mirabella at ASU is a 20-story building at Mill Avenue and University Drive with 239 independent-living apartments and 59 health care units for residents 62 and older. When it opened in December 2020, residents moved in at four units a day, so building schedules set the pace. We plan the truck and crew around the building's move-in window, not the other way around.
They can. Maple-Ash has the highest concentration of historic properties in Tempe, and residents of the Greater Maple Ash area, including the Mitchell Park neighborhood association, have pushed to preserve its historic homes and large lots. Before moving day we plan the route through each room and ask about the carry from the truck to the door.
The Lakes in south Tempe is built around two man-made lakes, with single-family and attached homes built between 1970 and 1980. Some lakefront homes have private boat docks, so tell us whether anything stored there is coming with you. We then plan packing and loading for the house you actually have.
Tempe residential customers get bulk trash and green organics collection every other month, not monthly, so a missed pickup can mean a long wait. Residents can also drop up to 1,000 pounds once a month at no additional charge at the Sky Harbor Regional Transfer Station, which does not accept soil or dirt. For bigger piles, True Move offers pickup and haul off.
Tempe's Household Products Collection Center at 1320 E. University Drive takes refrigerators, washers, dryers, freezers, water heaters, stoves, dishwashers, A/C units, paints, solvents, automotive fluids and tires. It is open 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and you need a driver's license, a current Tempe utility bill or an ASU student ID.
