Moving in Hillcrest: What to Expect
Hillcrest is one of Little Rock's oldest and most-loved neighborhoods, 1920s craftsman bungalows and Tudors on narrow tree-lined streets around the Kavanaugh shops. Most of these homes have steep original staircases, skinny doorways, and a detached garage down a back drive, so a move here turns on the carry, and Corey's crew scouts the stairs and the parking before the truck rolls up.
What to square away before a Hillcrest move
- Older homes have steep, narrow original staircases and tight doorways
- Many houses sit up on a slope with a long or stepped front walk
- Curbside parking on the tree-lined streets can be tight

Three Steps to Moving Day
Everything from your very first hello to the moment the final carton lands in the room where it belongs.
Tell Us About the Move
Walk us through the job by phone, over a short video call, or right here on the form. You get back a written flat rate, not a vague guess that balloons the second everything is on the truck.
Lock In Your Date
Choose a date and we assign the crew and truck that fit it, then handle whatever the job calls for: a curbside parking permit, a building certificate of insurance, or a reserved freight elevator.
We Carry the Load
A single lead runs it start to finish, wrapping, loading, driving, and setting each piece down, backed by our own Little Rock crew, and we map the drive around I-30, I-430, and I-630 so the schedule holds.

VIP Moving did the impossible, they made a move very pleasant. For once, I could actually focus on the hopes and dreams associated with relocation rather than wondering if my stuff would arrive at all and if so, in one piece. It's revolutionary stuff here. I'm still reeling. Their rates are extremely reasonable, the communication prior to my move was prompt and clear, and the crew did everything they could to ensure my move was seamless and easy. They were totally cool about my moving pod being dropped off about a block away from my apartment due to some issues with the pod truck being too tall for my parking deck's height restrictions. All of my furniture was arranged carefully to ensure it would arrive without being damaged and to maximize the space in the pod. Since they charge by the hour, they encouraged me to just pack whatever I could in bags and boxes as they carried it all out. My apartment was cleared faster and my pod could carry more because of the movers' careful placement and arrangement. They even wrapped my TV and put it in my car for me so it could be driven safely. They were that good. Their crew was also super friendly, polite, and had a great sense of humor. You can't do better than VIP Moving. After several moves, I can say this is the best moving company I've ever worked with. If you need a mover, hire them now.
VIP Moving helped me move from Arkansas to Texas. They did not charge me an arm and a leg like all the other companies. Very professional crew that got the job done quickly and efficiently. Would 100% recommend if you plan on doing a move and are worried about entrusting your valuables and personal goods to someone else. Corey the owner will do whatever it takes to get the job done and make you satisfied.
Netzer, Cruz, and Jesus were an awesome crew.

Questions We Hear a Lot
Do you move within Hillcrest?
Yes, these historic homes are where a lot of our work happens. Local jobs start at $120/hr on a flat, written price, and the stair carry, the hillside access, and the curb parking are all on us. When the move leaves Arkansas, we price it on weight and mileage instead.
Are you licensed and insured?
We are. VIP Moving of Arkansas carries Arkansas household-goods authority and full insurance, and our own crew stays on your job the whole way through, with no broker slipping in to skim a cut. We will gladly review the authority numbers and coverage with you, and we go through your valuation options before a thing is locked in.
Do you handle a loft or condo move where the building demands a COI?
All the time, and we cover senior-living and healthcare facilities the same way. Those downtown River Market lofts and condos usually need a certificate of insurance on file and the freight elevator reserved for a set window. We file the COI with building management, secure the elevator, pad the cab and hallways, and finish inside your booked slot so the dock opens back up on schedule.
The staircase in my Hillcrest bungalow is narrow and steep. Will that be an issue?
That is squarely what we do. The vintage craftsman houses around Hillcrest, the Quapaw Quarter, and Capitol View tend to have steep original stairs, narrow doorways, and stepped porches out front. We size up each turn, pad the door frames and railings, and lift or hand-carry whatever will not make the corner, exactly as we have for more than 20 years.
Will you handle the packing?
As much as you want. Want the entire house boxed up? Done. Just the kitchen and the art? That works too. We arrive with heavy-duty cartons and paper, mark every box by its room, and once the truck is unloaded we will unpack you at the new place.
Do you handle pianos, gun safes, and slate pool tables?
Absolutely, our crew handles them just about every week. Upright or grand piano, a loaded gun safe, a slate pool table, a treasured heirloom, or a framed painting, each one travels on the proper board or dolly with the right straps and pads, and we build a made-to-fit crate any time a piece needs one.
Can I move or cancel my date?
Of course. Let us know at least two days ahead to move or cancel your date and your full deposit comes straight back. Every condition is written out in plain language on your booking, so nothing is left to guesswork.
