Household Moving Tips to Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis is the city in and the county seat of Hennepin County, as well as the largest city in the state of Minnesota. It is currently home to a resident population of over 400,000 and is one of the anchors of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is home to over 3.8 million and ranks 14th among all the major metro areas in the U.S.
This is really helpful when it comes to moving services to or from Minneapolis; its sheer size makes it a popular destination for a number of people, and as such it usually sees household moving services into and out of the city on a regular basis.
Minneapolis is the commercial center of Minnesota and the Minneapolis-St. Paul area is the second-largest in the Midwest, behind Chicago, in terms of economic size. Five Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in the city and its economic sectors include retail, manufacturing, healthcare, education, research and development, finance and banking, and much more.
The city is experiencing growth as the nationwide economy slowly begins to recover, and the growth in population has led to a resurgence in new and emerging economic sectors such as alternative energy and is becoming more and more popular among the youth of today. Between its surging economy and its vibrant culture, as well as a reputation for being one of the “nicest” cities in terms of the population’s mood and treatment of one another, the city is fast becoming one of the most popular areas in the country to move to.
Minneapolis, like many major cities, features a compact downtown core surrounded by densely populated neighborhoods, which in turn are surrounded by bustling suburban communities and bedroom cities. Moving into or out of the outskirts of Minneapolis will likely be easier due to the fact that they are more easily accessible by nationwide carriers; in the downtown area, streets tend to be more compact and more difficult for a large interstate moving truck, which is about the same as the average semi-truck that you see on the road, to navigate. If you’re moving into the downtown area, your moving company may need to hire a local mover with smaller trucks to get your stuff to you.
