Prospect Park is one of the hillier, more architecturally varied neighborhoods in Southeast Minneapolis, built on rolling terrain that climbs toward Tower Hill Park and the neighborhood’s landmark water tower, the Witch’s Hat. Homes here range from early 1900s Tudor Revivals and Craftsman bungalows to newer townhomes near the Green Line, and that mix of age and layout is exactly why residents look for a trusted moving company instead of whoever happens to answer the phone first. We move households throughout Prospect Park and the rest of Southeast Minneapolis, and the way we handle each job is built around that variety rather than a single standard approach.
From Century-Old Houses to New Townhomes
A neighborhood with homes dating back over a century means a lot of variation in what a move actually requires. Some Prospect Park houses have narrow original staircases and older door frames, while newer townhomes near the light rail come with attached garages and more straightforward access. We offer local moving, full and partial packing, and unpacking for homeowners across the neighborhood.
Careful Hands for Original Woodwork and Antiques
Nobody wants their move day estimate to change once the truck is already parked outside. Daymakers Moving and Storage starts every job with a free in-home or live video walkthrough, so the number we give you up front is the number you pay. Our crews are trained and background-checked before working in any home, and customers consistently mention how carefully our teams handle older furniture and fragile items, which matters in a neighborhood full of century-old houses with original woodwork and built-ins.
Hills, Curved Streets, and the Green Line Corridor
Prospect Park’s hilly, curvilinear streets around Tower Hill Park were laid out well before modern moving trucks existed, so some blocks have tighter turns and steeper grades than a typical grid neighborhood. Properties closer to University Avenue and the Green Line light rail also see steady foot and bike traffic, which affects how and when we stage a truck for loading. Homes near the Mississippi River bluffs on the neighborhood’s southern edge can add another layer of planning, since steep driveways and limited street parking are common in that stretch. We scope these details out during the walkthrough so moving day doesn’t include any surprises, and for anyone relocating out of state, we offer long-distance moving with flat-rate pricing.
Reaching the East Bank From Our Roseville Base
We coordinate Prospect Park moves out of our Roseville, MN, office, which puts us within easy reach of Southeast Minneapolis without adding unnecessary drive time to your move. Working from an established Twin Cities office means we’re already familiar with the traffic patterns and access points around the University of Minnesota area, since we serve Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs on a regular basis. That familiarity carries over directly into how we plan and schedule a Prospect Park move.
About Prospect Park, MN
Prospect Park is a residential neighborhood in Southeast Minneapolis, bordered by the University of Minnesota to the west, the Mississippi River to the south, and the Saint Paul city line to the east.

The Green Line light rail runs through the neighborhood along University Avenue, and the area continues to draw a mix of longtime homeowners, university-affiliated residents, and newer townhome buyers.
