Madison County holds the northern Metro East, a dependable push from our yard near The Hill over the river and up I-55 and I-270. We land there regularly: an Edwardsville house near the university one day, a Granite City place midweek, an Alton home up by the bluffs the day after. These are Illinois moves, so First Place Moves runs the county under Illinois Commerce Commission authority alongside our US DOT and MC numbers, all of it in-house with our own gear and W-2 crews. Gina Marchetti opened the company in 2011 after years running dispatch and field teams, and her crews handle a historic Alton brick home with steep steps as smoothly as a newer Edwardsville subdivision two-story. Every figure goes flat and gets fixed before a date is reserved, the team boxing your departure is the team arranging your arrival, and the entry gets walked early so the household rolls without snags.
The county breaks into three: the college town, the river towns, and the subdivisions between. Edwardsville, the seat, sends family homes and student rentals near SIUE, master-planned subdivisions, and townhomes under HOA rules. Granite City contributes solid older single-family stock and downsizings near the Mississippi. Alton up on the bluffs adds historic brick homes with steep front steps, riverfront properties, and first-home buyers off Highway 67. By the hour, a pair runs $115, three runs $155, and four runs $205. Priced flat, a three-bedroom house falls in the $1,660 to $2,780 range and a four-bedroom in the $2,780 to $4,380 range, with boxing or a piano carry tucked in wherever the job needs it. Out-of-state runs head both directions on US DOT and MC authority we hold directly, $1M of cargo coverage along, and climate-controlled storage keeps belongings at $85 to $230 a month by size whenever a date won’t sync. The bridge haul, booked HOA windows, and a snowy winter walk all shape the plan, and the price never moves with the season.
