Movers in Montgomery, IL, on both sides of the Fox River

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-year estimates (data.census.gov profile for Montgomery). About 6 miles straight-line from downtown Yorkville and 6 miles from Amenity’s Plainfield warehouse.

The drive into Montgomery from Plainfield and Yorkville

Montgomery is a short haul from both directions: about 6.3 miles straight-line from Amenity’s warehouse at 10028 Mandel St in Plainfield, and about 5.5 miles from Yorkville. That matters for price, because Illinois hourly moves count travel time in the hours shown on the estimate (92 Ill. Adm. Code 1457.610). A close starting point keeps that part of the bill small.

The Fox River runs through the village, and the downtown sits along it; the Mill Street bridge is one of the river crossings near Montgomery Park (Village of Montgomery). Which bank you live on shapes the route in. On the village’s west side, near Orchard Road and US Route 30, the village plans to extend Mulberry Drive north to Aucutt Road.

Street work is the other drive reality for 2026. The village’s water main program lists Montgomery Road, Sherman Road, Broadway Avenue and Mill Street, plus a South River Street project covering S. River, N. River, Jefferson and Case streets, tied to the switch to Lake Michigan water (Montgomery construction projects). If your street is on that list, say so at the estimate; a lane closure can change where the truck parks.

Not every home near Montgomery is inside the village. The village’s garbage page notes that Boulder Hill and other unincorporated areas pick their own trash hauler through Oswego Township, so village services, and village rules, stop at the line. Neighbors on the other side of the line are covered on our Oswego movers page.

Montgomery village rules that touch a move

Montgomery’s rules that affect a move are about snow, trash, leaves and water, not truck permits. This table pulls them together from the village’s own pages.

We found no Montgomery requirement for a permit to park a moving truck at the curb. The village does require a Right-of-Way Permit before any work in the public right-of-way (Montgomery Public Works), so if a dumpster or container would sit anywhere but your own driveway, call Village Hall at 200 N. River St. (630-896-8080) first.

Montgomery neighborhoods and the houses in them

Montgomery’s housing is young: 53.0% of homes were built in the 2000s and another 17.5% since 2010, according to Census estimates for 2020–2024 (U.S. Census Bureau). Only 10.7% predate 1960.

Single-family detached homes make up 71.7% of units and townhome-style attached homes 16.7%, with 10.7% in buildings of two or more units. One household in five rents (20.7%), the median home has 6.6 rooms, and 21.4% of households settled here in 2020 or later, so plenty of Montgomery moves involve recent arrivals.

Village project notices name subdivisions such as Lakewood Creek and Lakewood Creek West south of Route 30 and Seasons Ridge, and Kaneland’s McDole Elementary sits on Foxmoor Drive. Montgomery is also split among school districts: Oswego CUSD 308 covers portions of the village (SD308), and Kaneland CUSD 302’s boundaries include all or part of it, along with parts of Aurora, North Aurora and Sugar Grove (Kaneland). Confirm the district for a specific address before you sign a lease or contract.

For the estimate, the home’s room count and contents set the crew size and hours; the 6-mile trip from Plainfield adds little.

Services Montgomery households use most

Three Amenity services line up with Montgomery’s housing: new-construction moves, apartment and townhome moves, and moving with storage.

New-construction home moves

A newly built home closes on the builder’s schedule, which can shift by days or weeks. Amenity can load your current home on the day you must leave, keep everything in its warehouse and deliver to the new house once you have keys. See new-construction home moves for how those jobs are planned.

Apartment and townhome moves

With 16.7% of homes attached and a fifth of households renting, smaller moves are common. Amenity brings several truck sizes to make the fewest trips, never puts another customer’s goods on your truck, and carries furniture pads on every truck. See apartment and townhome moving, and add partial packing if only the kitchen or fragile items need a professional.

Moving and storage together

When dates don’t match, moving and storage with one company keeps your goods in the same hands from pickup to delivery. The next sections cover how a moving day and a storage stay work.

A Montgomery moving day from first call to last box

1. Six weeks out or moreBook the free in-home estimate. Illinois regulators recommend giving the mover search six weeks or more (Illinois Commerce Commission).
2. Two to three weeks outSubmit the village’s final water read request (rental or transfer of ownership), and start setting out one bulk item and one white good a week for LRS.
3. The night beforeIf snow is forecast, plan to get every car into a driveway or garage. In fall, keep the curb in front of leaf piles clear.
4. Morning of the moveThe crew arrives from Plainfield, walks the house with you and pads furniture; in winter Amenity lays floor runners.
5. Loading and the driveYour household rides alone on the truck. With a short drive, most of the hours go to loading and unloading.
6. UnloadingFurniture goes where you direct. Amenity collects emptied packing containers after the move, with some limitations.

Our 8-week moving checklist spreads the rest of the prep across the weeks before the truck arrives, and the in-home estimate guide explains what the walkthrough covers.

Storage when a Montgomery closing date slips

When the sale of one home and the purchase of the next don’t close on one date, Amenity can pick up your household, hold it in its Plainfield warehouse and deliver it when you have keys. Storage runs from one day to several years, and you can drop goods off or have Amenity pick them up.

Furniture is wrapped in pads and cardboard, then packed and sealed in large wooden crates, 8 by 7.5 by 5 feet; sofas go on sofa racks. Every item is entered in an inventory database and you receive a detailed list. The 12,000-square-foot warehouse is climate-controlled, alarmed and watched by an outdoor security camera, and only Amenity personnel go inside. More on short-term storage and wooden crate storage.

This is not drive-up self-storage. You don’t get a key or a unit; your goods stay crated until delivery, which means one load-in and one load-out instead of carrying everything twice yourself.
