Areas We Serve · Salt Lake City
Murray is the only city outside Salt Lake City where TRAX and FrontRunner share a station. Its electric utility has been publicly owned since 1913, which keeps rates lower than most neighbors. Furthermore, mid-century ranch homes and brick bungalows near Murray Park require a protection plan that newer construction does not. Murray movers who know this city’s character before the truck ever leaves the yard.
A First-Ring Suburb That Has Been Doing Things Its Own Way Since 1913
Most Salt Lake suburbs buy their electricity from Rocky Mountain Power. Murray, however, has run its own municipal utility since 1913. The same independent streak shows up in its school district, which serves only Murray. And the housing stock along established streets near Murray Park reflects a city that built out in the 1950s and 1960s and has maintained that character since.
Murray's most established neighborhoods near Murray Park and the city center are predominantly mid-century ranch homes and brick bungalows built in the 1950s and 1960s. Consequently, these homes have narrower original driveways, smaller garages, and original hardwood floors that require a specific protection plan. We ask about your home era at booking so the crew arrives briefed on what they are working with.
Murray Central is the only station outside Salt Lake City where TRAX and FrontRunner share a platform. Three TRAX stations serve the city: Murray North at 4300 South, Murray Central at 5200 South, and Fashion Place West. As a result, the streets surrounding these stations have higher pedestrian density and more constrained truck access than typical suburban corridors. We account for station proximity when planning crew routing.
State Street is Murray's commercial spine and it is actively changing. The Pointe @53rd mixed-use development started construction in 2025. The Old Galleria property is in planning for apartments and townhomes. Active development on and around State Street creates shifting access and parking conditions. We check current corridor status before every Murray move near State Street.
Our Process
A mid-century ranch near Murray Park and a new transit-oriented unit near Murray Central are different operations. Here is how we build the right plan for yours from the first call.
We ask for your address and approximate home build decade at booking. Mid-century Murray homes near Murray Park require a different protection brief than newer construction near Fashion Place or the TRAX corridors. Starting with that distinction means the right plan goes on paper before the crew is assigned.
Original 1950s and 1960s driveways in Murray are narrower than modern builds. Additionally, older garage openings may not accommodate standard-width equipment. We confirm driveway dimensions and access constraints at booking for mid-century addresses so the right approach is planned before move day.
We check active State Street construction and TRAX station pedestrian traffic before the crew departs. Both the Pointe @53rd project and the Fashion Place West station area affect access on the State Street corridor. Consequently, the crew takes a planned route rather than the default path through active work zones.
Murray's mid-century homes often have original hardwood floors, period door casings, and brick exteriors that scuff more readily than modern finishes. We arrive with floor runners, corner guards, and door-jamb protection matched to the era of your specific home before the first item moves.
We walk every room with you before the truck pulls away. Your previous Murray address leaves in the condition it needs to be. Your new home is set up the way you described it. We do not consider the job done until you have walked it with us and confirmed it. That is the #BestMoveEver commitment we hold in every city we serve.

Murray Questions
Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s near Murray Park have original features that modern construction does not. Consequently, floor runners, door-jamb guards, and careful furniture sequencing matter more here. We ask about your home era at booking and brief the crew before they leave the yard.
The municipal utility has served Murray since 1913. When you move into Murray, your electric service transfers to Murray City Power rather than Rocky Mountain Power. This is an easy process to set up, though it is a step that surprises some new arrivals who assume their provider stays the same across city lines.
Mid-century homes with narrower driveways and original hardwood protection requirements may add some time compared to newer open-plan construction. However, You Move Me charges an hourly rate with a flat travel fee and no hidden charges, confirmed before we book.
Murray Central at 5200 South is one of the busiest transit hubs in the Salt Lake Valley, combining both TRAX Blue and Red lines with FrontRunner. As a result, the streets immediately surrounding the station have higher foot traffic and less available curb space than typical Murray residential streets. We account for station proximity when routing the crew.
Mid-week moves avoid the weekend premium and lighter State Street and I-15 traffic keeps crew transit times lower. Furthermore, Murray City School District’s school-year start in late August drives late summer demand from local families. Mid-week outside of July and August offers the best price and availability.
Murray is a high-demand first-ring suburb with consistent year-round move activity. Additionally, mid-century homes with access constraints and State Street corridor moves near active construction benefit from earlier booking so the plan is confirmed before availability gets tight.
