local move

Same-area address change

A local move is a household relocation within the same general area—typically the same city or metropolitan region.

Moving companies often define it by distance (usually under 50 miles) or by whether the move stays within state lines.

Local moves are usually charged by the hour rather than by weight, unlike long-distance moves.

We hired two guys for our local move across town.
