Apartment and condo jobs in Cincinnati live or die on building rules: the freight-elevator slot, the loading-zone spot off Vine Street, the certificate of insurance the property manager keeps on file. A+ Don’s Moving handles studios, walk-ups, and downtown high-rises across The Banks, Over-the-Rhine, and the UC student belt — and we sort all of that for you.
The Cincinnati buildings we work in
The downtown core and the campus periphery are a patchwork of mid-rises, gated condo communities, and converted Over-the-Rhine Italianates broken into walk-up units. Each carries its own logistics, and we plan for them before move day rather than improvising in the lobby.
- Downtown high-rises around Fountain Square, The Banks, and the Carew Tower district with shared freight elevators
- Gated and access-controlled condo communities along Reading Road and Montgomery Road
- Third-floor walk-ups in converted Over-the-Rhine and Mt. Adams Italianates
- Student complexes around UC, Xavier, and NKU during May and August turnover
Building logistics we handle
Most complexes require a reserved elevator window and a certificate of insurance, and many limit truck staging on Bengals and Reds game weekends. We sort the paperwork and the timing with your property manager ahead of time.

Built for tight stairwells and student-season turnover
A two-mover crew at $115/hr handles most studios and one-bedrooms — the same rate as a small short-haul job elsewhere in the metro. For a Carew Tower high-rise with a slow service elevator or a long walk down Vine Street from the loading bay, we add a third mover so the reserved window is not wasted standing in line.
Who books an apartment relocation with us
UC and Xavier students switching between Clifton complexes, UC Health residents rotating into Mason rentals, and downsizers leaving a Mt. Adams three-story Italianate for a low-maintenance Banks condo (our house movers handle the move out) make up most of these jobs. We cover apartments throughout the Cincinnati service area.
- Building check — send the elevator rules, loading-zone or permit parking, and any insurance certificate the property wants with your free quote request.
- Reserve the window — your job is scheduled around the elevator slot and the crew is sized to finish inside it.
- Move day — pads on the elevator and corners, furniture wrapped, and a clean walk-through before we leave.

What It Costs Around Cincinnati
A two-mover team runs $115/hr with a two-hour minimum; a three-mover team is $155/hr, and bigger Cincinnati jobs are pinned down as one flat written figure before our truck rolls off Spring Grove Avenue.
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded box truck, four-wheelers, shrink wrap and quilted blankets — the entire Cincinnati job folded into a single A+ Don’s Moving rate, with no handoff to a third-party van line at any point in the day.
