Local Movers in Rochester, MN

Top-Rated Moving Company

Matt’s Moving is a locally owned Minnesota moving company with over 15 years of experience and a track record of more than 200,000 customers moved throughout the state. With a 4.7-star rating across hundreds of verified Google reviews, we offer residential, long-distance, and medical professional relocation moving services with no hidden fees and a fully licensed and insured crew.

Rochester customers choose Matt’s Moving because we understand that moving in and out of this city operates on a different clock. Mayo start dates don’t move. Fellowship end dates don’t move. We plan around your actual timeline — whether that’s a February move-in for a new position or a mid-September transition between programs.

Rochester is unlike any other city we serve. Minnesota’s second-largest city at 90 miles southeast of the Twin Cities, Rochester’s move market is fundamentally shaped by Mayo Clinic — one of the largest employers in the country. The continuous flow of physicians, researchers, medical residents, fellows, and international staff relocating to and from Mayo drives year-round move demand that doesn’t follow the standard seasonal pattern of most Minnesota markets. Moves happen in January, in September, in the middle of a Minnesota winter, because contract start dates and fellowship rotations don’t wait for spring.

Beyond the medical community, Rochester has genuine housing variety — Victorian and Craftsman homes in the Historic Southwest District near downtown, mid-century neighborhoods in Kutzky Park and Silver Lake, newer construction in northwest Rochester’s growing developments, and a dense apartment market near the Mayo campus serving medical students and young professionals. We serve Rochester as part of our long-distance moving services and have moved many people both into and out of the city.

Neighborhoods and areas we serve in Rochester include:

• Historic Southwest District — Victorian and Craftsman homes near downtown and the Mayo campus
• Kutzky Park, Silver Lake, and Country Club Manor established neighborhoods
• Downtown Rochester and near-campus apartments and condos
• Northwest Rochester — growing suburban developments and newer construction
• Folwell, Northrop, Cooke Park, and surrounding residential neighborhoods
• Surrounding communities including Byron, Stewartville, and Kasson

Matt’s Moving provides full-service moving options for Rochester residents and anyone relocating to or from the city. Because Rochester operates on a different moving rhythm than the rest of Minnesota, we plan around your actual timeline — not a standard seasonal window.

Mayo Clinic and Medical Professional Relocation

Mayo Clinic employment and training creates some of the most time-sensitive moves in the state — physicians starting new positions, residents beginning rotations, fellows transitioning between programs, and researchers arriving on academic calendars that don’t align with the summer moving season. We coordinate around fixed start dates, tight windows, and the overlap between temporary and permanent housing that medical relocations often involve.

Residential Moving Services in Rochester

Our residential movers in Rochester handle the full range of housing the city offers — Victorian and Craftsman homes in the Historic Southwest District that require careful handling of original floors and period architecture, mid-century neighborhoods, newer suburban construction in northwest Rochester, and apartment and condo moves near the downtown and Mayo campus corridors.

Long-Distance Moving Between Rochester and the Twin Cities

Rochester to Minneapolis or Saint Paul is one of the most common long-distance corridors we handle. Whether you’re completing a fellowship and returning to the metro, relocating from the Cities to start a position at Mayo, or moving between the two markets for any other reason, we provide coordinated pickup and delivery with consistent communication throughout.

Packing and Unpacking Services in Rochester

We offer full packing, partial packing, and packing supplies. For time-constrained medical relocation moves where packing time is limited, full-service packing lets you focus on the start-date logistics while we handle everything else.
