Gresham, OR Movers
Moving to Gresham
Founded in 1851, the city now known as Gresham was originally called Powell’s Valley after Jackson and James Powell, the two brothers who founded the area. It was then changed in 1884 when the area became home to its first post office and locals decided to name the town after the city’s first postmaster, Walter Q. Gresham. The city was incorporated in 1905 with a humble number of about 360 residents.
Gresham is now home to a population of more than 110,000 people, making it the fourth-largest city in Oregon. Nearly half are married families with children due to its safe communities and quiet atmosphere. The area’s biggest growth spurts came during the 90s and early 2000s when over 55,000 people moved to the area.
Thinking about relocating to Gresham? Our crew has established itself as the top moving company in Gresham and other Portland suburbs. Trust PDX Movers to handle your transition safely, efficiently, and professionally.
As you’re looking around at local neighborhoods, you’re sure to see a variety of comfortable and quiet areas to pick from. On the west side, near the border of Portland, communities like Centennial, Hollybrook, and Pleasant Valley give residents easy access to commute into the big city. And on the south side of town, you’ll find a number of family-friendly neighborhoods like Gresham Butte, Mount Hood, and Kelly Creek.
Once you’re in town and searching for fun things to do in Gresham, you’ll find great activities like swimming, kayaking, and fishing at Sandy River Gorge in Oxbow Regional Park. Another popular attraction in town is the Gresham Japanese Garden, similar to the other gardens of the same style found in Portland. And when it’s time to eat, head over to either Nicholas Restaurant for some unique Lebanese and Mediterranean Cuisine or enjoy some classic Italian food at Boccelli’s Ristorante.
For parents with young children, a handful of local schools are part of Portland’s Centennial School District, but the city also hosts its own Gresham-Barlow District. Elementary students can attend programs at schools like Gresham Arthur Academy and East Orient Elementary, while teenage students have top-rated high schools in the area such as Sam Barlow High and Centennial High. The only secondary school in town is Mount Hood Community College, which offers both 2-year programs and Bachelor programs through their partnership with Eastern Oregon University.
Although the city is mainly residential, Gresham jobs can be found in a few business parks and retail areas around town. The largest employer is the Adventist Medical Center, a faith-based, not-for-profit hospital network with over 1,000 employees. Another large company you’ve surely heard of before with a location in the area is Boeing’s Portland office.
When it comes to local weather, you likely know most areas in the northwest U.S. are known for a fair amount of rain. Gresham is no exception with cold winters with about 56 inches of annual rainfall. But you’ll also experience comfortable summers with temps ranging between the mid-50s and low 80s.

I would say they were a little too pedantic with wrapping all furniture, and seemed kinda obvious they were stringing out the time. Our home was small, and I had moved out everything, but the large furniture. The new place was less than 10 minutes, so thankfully I didn't have to pay much for drive time. Update:Business contacted me regarding the excessive wrapping, and what seemed to be the stringing out of time. They included me I updated policies, and now allow the home owner to have some discretion on how much wrapping is done on items. read less

I had a garage project which required me to empty my garage for a month. They have the processed dialed in. Easy emailed contracts, good updates of when they said they would arrive with the truck. Workers ready to get the job done. I had a two man team who worked a good pace and knew what they were doing. For sure I would recommend these guys for moving or temporary storage. read less

This last move with PDX Movers has been up there with the very best moves that I have ever had.

I was given PDX Movers information and I couldn't of been happier. This was my first time using movers and I will use them again or movers in general to help with the load. These guys were great though, gave me a heads up before they arrived and had all the items they needed for wrapping fragile items. We loaded up a 26ft (maybe bigger) truck and unloaded it at the new house in about 6 house. The movers were a get bunch of guys and I could tell they have been doing this for a while. They walked the house with me to see why needed to be moved. It helped I packed up 99% of the house ahead of time. When the truck started to get half way they asked again if there were other larger items I needed for sure at the house. The smaller items I could throw in a box and transport myself. Thank you to Desmond, Ethan and Raven. You guys did an excellent job! read less

They were in constant contact the morning of the move, ETA, what I needed (blankets, packing materials, etc.).

Their team, Walker, Clay, and Elliott, could not have been more respectful and nicer to work with. They laid out "red carpets" so as to minimize tracking dirt in to the house, and asked what they could do in between containers being delivered. Highly recommend them. Although we're not completely unpacked, we think things were stored properly and no damage. read less

Karri and Seth were excellent with communication, sales information and always available for calls and responsive with questions and follow up. Pricing quote was clear and fair. The overall price was in line with other company quotes and because of their service levels and professionalism made the overall proposition a real value. The packing team was actually incredible, Desmond the team leader was professional and easy to work with. He really knew what he was doing and you could tell by the way his team worked with him that they all were well trained and they focused on doing things "right" the "right way." There was no idle conversation, looking at cell phones, excessive breaks etc. The only time we heard anyone speaking was actually when one team member was training or teaching another team member how to do something better, or using a proper / safe technique etc. The packing and load team was comprised of Travis, Nic, Cirilo, Isai, and Cory, I cannot say enough positive things about them. Andrei the driver and supervisor on the delivery end was just as professional and service focused. There were some minor/major problems during packing and unloading but they were handled by the team extremely well, (In a large cross state move you have to expect some issues to arise) The PDX Movers team was proactive and engaged in solving any problems in a quick efficient manner. It was evident they have a really strong people oriented service culture. Mike Devenport, owner was very active and involved in working with his team to solve any issue and make things the best possible for the client. I only have positive things to say about this company and their service, product levels. The really understand what it takes to be successful, and make people happy. read less

The pair were quick, efficient, and communicative throughout the whole process. And I believe it was Justin's first day. They protected all my furniture in more than I would have expected. They literally rolled out the red carpet for me (and also to avoid getting my floors dirty I guess). They showed up within the delivery window and finished all within a couple hours. I would recommend PDX Movers to anyone looking to move! read less
