Accredited Movers Serving Forest Grove
Movers in Forest Grove, OR, From Just Down the Road
Priority Moving Services moves Forest Grove households from our base at 560 SE 4th Avenue in Hillsboro, about 15 minutes east on Highway 8. That short drive means our crews know the town well: the older homes on the tree-lined streets around Pacific University, the newer subdivisions on the north side, and the farms and acreage that stretch out toward Gales Creek and Gaston. We have been moving Oregon families since 2006, with more than 17,000 moves completed, and every mover is a background-checked employee covered by workers' comp.
Forest Grove moves come in every shape. Families move between Forest Grove and Hillsboro or Beaverton for work and schools, students and faculty move in and out around the Pacific University calendar, and rural owners need crews who can handle long gravel driveways and barns full of equipment. Our local moving crews handle the short moves, and our long-distance team handles moves out of state.
Here is what you can expect with your move:
- Hourly pricing and a free quote
- Background-checked employee movers
- Furniture padded and wrapped before it leaves the house
- Full or partial packing available
- Climate-controlled storage in nearby Hillsboro

Forest Grove is one of the oldest towns in Oregon, and it shows in the housing. Near downtown and Pacific University you will find older homes with narrow staircases, steep porch steps, and tight turns that call for careful furniture handling. North of town, newer subdivisions bring wider driveways and larger furniture. Out past the city limits, farms, vineyards, and rural homes often mean long gravel drives, outbuildings, and heavy equipment that needs a plan before the truck arrives.
Our crews walk through those details with you when you book, so the right size crew and truck show up and the day stays on schedule. If your move is part of a bigger change, such as heading to the coast or moving into the city, see our Oregon Coast movers or Portland movers pages.

What Affects the Cost of a Forest Grove Move
Moves are charged by the hour. These are the things that change how many hours your Forest Grove move takes.
| Factor | How it affects your move |
|---|---|
| Home size and belongings | The biggest factor. More rooms and more furniture mean more crew hours. |
| Access at each home | Stairs, long carries, gravel drives, and gates add time at either end. |
| Distance | Moves inside Forest Grove are short drives; moves to Portland or the coast add drive time. |
| Packing | Packing yourself saves crew hours; full packing saves your time. |
| Large and specialty items | Pianos, safes, hot tubs, and shop equipment need extra crew or gear. |
| Day and season | Weekends, month-end, and semester weeks book up first. |
