About University Heights, Cuyahoga County
Population approximately 13,265; median home value about $264,188; median household income about $99,236.
University Heights is a compact, highly-educated eastern Cuyahoga County inner-ring suburb anchored by John Carroll University, sitting roughly 17 miles east of our Parma home base in just 1.83 square miles — the smallest city by land area in our service area (Source: 2024 ACS, Census Reporter). With a population of approximately 13,265, median household income of $99,236, and median home value of $264,188, University Heights blends a young, professional family base with one of the most educated populations in Northeast Ohio — 67.0% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The city has a defining median age of 30.1, the youngest in our service area, substantially driven by John Carroll University's student body. University Heights is closely tied to neighboring Cleveland Heights, sharing the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District (chuh.org), the Heights Libraries system, and shared post office. The housing stock is predominantly 1920s–1950s pre-postwar and early-postwar construction — generating distinctive work patterns including faculty moves, estate cleanouts in long-tenured older homes, and renovation work on aging housing stock.

Frequently Asked Questions — University Heights Movers
How fast can you schedule a University Heights move from your Parma base?
We're 17 miles west of University Heights at 6871 Ames Road in Parma. Drive time is 25-35 minutes via I-480 East to I-271 North to Cedar Road. We typically schedule University Heights moves within 24-48 hours, and same-day or next-day moves are often available. May and August fill up faster — book ahead during John Carroll academic transitions.
Do you handle John Carroll University moves?
Yes — John Carroll moves are a distinctive part of our University Heights work. The university's 3,546 students generate substantial moving volume around May (move-out) and August (move-in), plus faculty relocations year-round. We handle apartment-to-apartment moves, dorm-to-apartment transitions, faculty downsizing, and out-of-state moves. Booking 2-3 weeks ahead for August/May is recommended.
What's the typical cost for a University Heights student/faculty apartment move?
Most University Heights apartment moves with a 2-mover crew run 3-4 hours, totaling $570-$760 plus travel fee. Faculty homes (3-bedroom with full basement) run 5-7 hours with a 3-mover crew, totaling $1,350-$1,890.
What's the typical cost for a University Heights family home move?
Most University Heights 3-bedroom moves with full basements take 5-7 hours with a 3-mover crew, running $1,350-$1,890 plus travel fee. With 32.2% of households having children under 18, family moves often involve outgrown children's items that benefit from coordinated junk removal during the move.
Can you coordinate moving plus junk removal in one University Heights project?
Yes — this is especially common for University Heights. Faculty downsizing from larger homes, families upgrading or expanding, and student move-outs all benefit from coordinated visits. We sort what comes, what donates (routed to the eastern Habitat ReStore), and what disposes — keeping the move efficient and the new home clutter-free.
Do you serve all University Heights neighborhoods including the John Carroll area?
Yes — we serve every street in University Heights' 1.83 square miles, from John Carroll University and the Cedar Center commercial district to residential neighborhoods along Meadowbrook Boulevard, Warrensville Center Road, and Belvoir Boulevard. The compact city footprint means we're never far from any address.
Are you insured for University Heights apartment building moves?
Yes — fully licensed and insured. We carry full liability insurance and provide certificates of insurance to apartment buildings, HOAs, and property managers as required. Many University Heights apartment buildings near John Carroll require COIs prior to move-in — we handle this coordination upfront so move day goes smoothly.
