Portage Park Movers

The wonderful neighborhood of Portage Park owes its namesake to the large Native American Indian population that used to live here and used the natural early 1880's marshy land-bridge as a way of moving their canoes from the Des Plaines River into the Chicago River. Thus, they were the first Portage Park movers.

The area has beautiful homes, scenic parks, and many thriving businesses. There is even a large shopping center situated there. The homes generally have large front yards, and boast interesting front porches. There is a mixture of Victorian, English Tudor as well a Georgian architecture. Portage Park movers are also well established here.

The area is dotted with frame houses, and historic brick bungalows, but now there are also newer town homes, rehabbed flats, and even condominiums to move into. It's obvious that as the Portage Park moving company, New City Moving, we're kept very busy.

This neighborhood is filled after dinner with neighbors using the many front porches to chat with their neighbors, and if they are more actively minded, they are usually found in the namesake park where they may indulge in biking or walking in its attractive 36 acres of football, soccer or baseball fields. There, the growing children of Portage Park may also indulge in after school activities run especially for them.
