Movers in Kendall County, IL, from Bristol and Boulder Hill to Lisbon and Millington

Moving within, into or out of Kendall County

Every township in Kendall County is part of Amenity’s service area, from new subdivisions in Oswego Township to older village homes in Lisbon and Millington. The county is growing quickly: the 2020 Census counted 131,869 residents, and the Census Bureau’s estimate for July 1, 2025 is 145,470. Yorkville has been the county seat since 1859, and the county’s administrative offices are in downtown Yorkville.

Most homes here are owner-occupied and fairly new. Census ACS 2020–2024 estimates show 84.0% of the county’s occupied homes are owner-occupied, 73.9% are detached single-family houses and 17.0% are townhomes or other attached homes, and 42.0% were built between 2000 and 2009. The mean commute is 31.6 minutes.

Trucks leave from Amenity’s Plainfield warehouse on Mandel Street, roughly 10 miles east of downtown Yorkville. Plainfield itself reaches into Kendall County, with about 3,390 of its residents on the Kendall side in the 2025 estimates.

Kendall County's nine townships

Kendall County has nine townships, and knowing yours tells you which town center, roads and services are closest. Oswego Township is by far the most populous, with about 61,778 residents in the Census Bureau’s 2025 estimates, while Fox, Big Grove and Lisbon townships each have fewer than 1,700.

Several of these towns have their own pages: Oswego, Montgomery, Plano, Sandwich, Plainfield, Minooka and Newark. Joliet also reaches into the county, with about 14,550 residents in Na-Au-Say and Seward townships.

About 25,964 people (2025 estimate) live in unincorporated parts of the county, outside any city or village. City contracts don’t reach them: the City of Yorkville notes that residents of unincorporated Yorkville and greater Kendall County choose their own trash hauler.

Villages and places without their own page

These are the county’s smallest villages and its largest unincorporated community. Counts are from the 2020 Census; housing notes use ACS 2020–2024 estimates, which carry wide margins of error for places this small. Distances are straight-line from Yorkville, from Census Gazetteer points.

Bristol (ZIP 60512)

Bristol began as the settlement platted north of the Fox River in the 1830s; it incorporated in 1861 and joined Yorkville in 1957 to form the United City of Yorkville. The name lives on in Bristol Township and in mailing addresses with ZIP 60512, such as Bristol Grade School at 23 Hunt Street. About 3,385 Bristol Township residents live outside any city or village (2025 estimate), and a Bristol address doesn’t settle which side of a city limit a home sits on, so confirm it before arranging trash or water service. The subdivisions on the old Bristol side are covered in our Yorkville neighborhoods guide.

Boulder Hill

Boulder Hill is an unincorporated Census-designated place in Oswego Township, about 6 miles northeast of Yorkville, with 8,394 residents and 2,962 housing units in the 2020 Census on 1.46 square miles of land. Its housing is older than most of the county: ACS estimates place 33.5% of homes in the 1960s and 39.4% in the 1970s, and 91.4% are detached single-family houses. Homes from that era can have narrower halls and tighter stair turns than 2000s builds, so the estimator measures for large pieces.

Millbrook

Millbrook is a village of 277 people and 109 housing units (2020 Census) in Fox Township, about 7 miles west-southwest of Yorkville. ACS estimates describe nearly all its homes as detached houses built across many decades, from before 1940 to the 2000s.

Plattville

Plattville had 220 people and 88 housing units in the 2020 Census, all in Lisbon Township, about 9 miles south-southeast of Yorkville. Those 88 homes are spread over 2.26 square miles of land, and ACS estimates show them as detached houses, most built in the 1970s and 1980s.

Lisbon

Lisbon village straddles Big Grove and Lisbon townships, about 12.5 miles south of Yorkville, with 271 residents and 111 housing units in the 2020 Census. ACS estimates suggest roughly a third of its homes were built in 1939 or earlier, so expect porch steps and older stairways in many of them.

Millington

Millington crosses a county line: of its 629 residents in the 2025 estimates, about 209 live in Kendall County’s Fox Township and about 420 in LaSalle County. The 2020 Census counted 617 people and 240 housing units, about 11.5 miles southwest of Yorkville. County offices for a Millington home depend on which side of that line it sits.

Newark

Newark is the largest of the southwest villages, with 973 people and 389 housing units in the 2020 Census (984 estimated for 2025), almost all in Big Grove Township and about 12 miles southwest of Yorkville. See movers in Newark, IL for village detail.

Roads that carry Kendall County moves

Illinois 47 runs north–south through Yorkville, the county seat, and since December 10, 2019 drivers can get on and off I-88 in every direction at IL 47 in Sugar Grove. IDOT’s FY2026–2031 program funds a 4.2-mile rebuild of IL 47 with added lanes between IL 71 and Caton Farm Road, and a 9.2-mile repaving of IL 126 between IL 71 and the Will County line. North of town, a separate state project on IL 47 between Kennedy Road in Yorkville and Cross Street in Sugar Grove is split between IDOT Districts 3 and 1.

In Yorkville, US 34 is Veterans Parkway, and its intersection with IL 47 is the city’s main commercial hub. Per a 2023 Shaw Local report, the Eldamain Road bridge over the Fox River between Yorkville and Plano opened that May, adding a river crossing west of IL 47.

Truck rules differ by town. Yorkville’s Ordinance 2020-12 caps axle weight on City roads at 20,000 pounds and requires a police permit for oversize loads; villages set their own rules, so the estimator checks the destination’s. Yorkville’s snow ban and utilities are covered in our guide to moving to Yorkville.

County resources for new residents

New Kendall County households usually need these county and state resources first.

• County offices: the historic Kendall County Courthouse, first built in 1864 on the hill where Yorkville’s first permanent structure went up in 1833, still houses county departments, and a newer courthouse opened on US 34 in 1997 (Yorkville’s 2015 plan).
• Clerk, recorder and elections: according to a 2024 Shaw Local report, these offices moved into a new county building that year, so confirm the current address on kendallcountyil.gov before visiting. Voter registration can also be updated online through the Illinois State Board of Elections.
• Transit: Kendall Area Transit, operated by Kendall County, provides local rides to registered riders.
• Paint and chemicals: Illinois EPA puts the closest permanent drop-off in Naperville (156 Fort Hill Drive, Saturdays and Sundays, 9 a.m.–2 p.m.), and the state’s one-day collection events take pre-registration.
• Driver’s license: Illinois requires an address update with the Secretary of State within 10 days of a move, online or at a Driver Services facility.
• Forest preserves: Yorkville’s 2015 plan lists county preserves such as Hoover, Harris, Meremech Woods, Subat, Lyon, Richard Young, Henneberry and Pickerell-Pigott within 20 to 30 minutes of Yorkville.

How Kendall County moves are priced and booked

The Illinois Commerce Commission’s consumer guide for in-state moves says a move under 50 miles, or one staying inside Kendall, Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties, can be charged by crew size and time; longer moves outside those counties are priced differently. An Illinois estimate isn’t binding, but if charges top 110% of the written estimate, you pay up to 110% at delivery and get 30 days for the rest. Our page on how moving costs work in Yorkville breaks down what adds hours.

Every for-hire household goods mover in Illinois needs an ICC license; Amenity’s is ILCC 73744 MC-C, and our page on moving company red flags shows how to check any mover’s. Moves leaving Illinois are booked through Amenity’s role as a Wheaton World Wide Moving agent, and the shipment rides under Wheaton Van Lines, Inc.’s federal authority (USDOT 70719, MC-87113); see long-distance moving.
