ABF Service Center: Grand Rapids, Michigan

Moving to Grand Rapids, MI
Located on the Grand River, Grand Rapids, MI is a great place to move to. It has a metro population of more than 774,000 residents, and it’s the second largest city in Michigan after Detroit. It’s nicknamed the “Furniture City” because it is home to 5 of the world’s leading office furniture companies. Grand Rapids was also home to the 38^th president of the United States, Gerald Ford. Here’s why you’ll love moving to Grand Rapids, MI:

Weather. Warm, humid summers, cold and snowy winters, and short, mild springs and autumns make up Grand Rapid’s weather. Thanks to Lake Michigan’s lake effect snow, Grand Rapids gets about 64 inches of snow per year! The average summer high remains in the high 70s to low 80s, while the average winter low remains often below freezing.

Festivals. You don’t want to miss the Celebration on the Grand. It occurs the weekend after Labor Day. You’ll have fun with free concerts, fireworks display, and plenty of food booths. For more listings of festivals in Grand Rapids.

Recreation. Go the beach, or have some fun street, mountain, or trail biking! If you’re feeling competitive, sign up for a bike race! There are plenty of fun things to do with the family, like going to the climbing center, Craig’s Cruisers (go-karts, bumper boats, etc.), or enjoy an indoor family water park that includes a three story waterslide! With great snow comes great snow skiing, so get out there and have some fun year round!

Culture. Make sure that you don’t miss ArtPrize, the world’s largest art competition! The art is displayed within three square miles of downtown Grand Rapids, and the public decides the winner! There are plenty of museums in the area, including a children’s museum. Be sure to visit the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum. John Ball Zoo is home to more than 1,100 animals from 5 continents! There’s even a 4 story, 300 ft. “fly” over the zoo zip line!

Education. K-12 public education is provided by the Grand Rapids Public Schools. There are a lot of charter schools, too. Grand Rapids has the oldest co-educational Catholic High School in the United States. Grand Rapids also has several college and universities to choose from.

Grand Rapids

Kim

I should have laid down plastic under my things instead of a blanket. The inside of the trailer apparently got wet so some of my furniture did too. It’s nothing I’m too concerned about since the damage was minimal. In making a recommendation to a friend, I would mention it. Overall, I was very satisfied with ABF U-Pack. I appreciated the flexibility of options. I opted for terminal-to-terminal delivery for economic reasons but I appreciated how things were all set up when I arrived. The Grand Rapids terminal even set the ramp up ahead of time. For the price, I could not find a better option. Thanks!

I am not moving to Grand Rapids. I am moving to Gladwin. I do not want to pick up my things at a terminal I want it at my location. Can this happen?
