Crown Point Movers
Crown Point is the county seat, and the historic courthouse square downtown still shapes how the rest of town grew up around it, older homes ringing the square giving way to newer subdivisions on the edges and a stretch of rural acreage further out past those. Jeff Nowicki, who opened Jeff’s Movers in 2010, treats those as three different jobs wearing the same zip code, and he prices them that way.
“A house two blocks off the square, a subdivision on the edge of town, and a place out on five acres are three different moves. Same crew, same truck, but I quote them differently because the job actually is different.” — Jeff Nowicki, owner
| Part of town | What it means for the crew |
|---|---|
| Older home near the courthouse square | Street parking checked first, since the square draws its own traffic |
| Newer subdivision on the edge of town | Standard driveway approach, nothing extra to plan for |
| Rural acreage on the outskirts | Longer gravel or dirt approach staged before load-in |
The square changes parking, not much else
An older home a few blocks from the courthouse square means Denise checks street parking before your date is set, since downtown draws its own foot and car traffic on a weekday. Once the truck’s parked, the job runs the same as anywhere else.

Out on the acreage
A property out on the outskirts sometimes means a long gravel drive instead of pavement. Andre stages the truck at the top of the drive rather than risk it on soft ground after a wet week.
The same math, wherever in Crown Point you land
A typical three-bedroom Crown Point home runs $1,780 to $2,900 as a set price, whether it’s a block from the square, a subdivision on the edge of town, or a spread out on acreage.
