MovingLocal moves across Cathedral City
From a Cove ranch house to a condo off Date Palm Drive, each piece of furniture is padded and wrapped before it’s carried out, and the written price is in your hands before moving day.
Local moving
PackingPacking and unpacking
We can box up only the breakables or every room, and unpack at the other end if you’d like. Beds, tables and other big pieces are taken apart and put back together for you.
Full-service packing
StorageA place for things between homes
Closing dates don’t always line up. Your belongings can wait in a sealed wooden vault in our own warehouse, and we bring them to the new address when you call ahead.
Household storage
StorageStorage for the car, too
Heading out of the valley for the summer and leaving the car behind? We can keep it indoors and under cover until you’re back. Give us a call to check whether there’s room.

Why us
Cathedral City moves, worked out before the day
- We look before we quote
We walk through your home, or see it on a video call, and the written estimate comes before any date goes on the calendar.
- Big pieces taken apart and rebuilt
Bed frames, dining tables and other large furniture come apart for tight hallways and doorways, then go back together in the room you choose.
- Summer schedules built around the heat
In the summer months we time Cathedral City jobs to keep the crew, and your furniture, out of the worst of the day’s heat.
Local movers for Cathedral City
Desert Moving is a family-owned Coachella Valley moving and storage company, in business since 1987. We move Cathedral City renters, homeowners and small businesses, whether the trip is across town, next door to Palm Springs or Rancho Mirage, or further.
Cathedral City packs a lot of different housing between the mountains and Interstate 10, and each type moves a little differently. That's why the price comes after we've seen the place, in person or by video, as a written estimate under California's rules for household moves.
The Cove, up against the mountains
Cathedral City Cove, built out from the 1960s onward at the foot of the Santa Rosa Mountains, is mostly ranch and Spanish-style houses on smaller lots. Smaller lots mean shorter driveways and less room at the curb. If a neighbor's car or a trash-day bin sits where the truck needs to stop, the crew carries further, so let us know about street parking when you book.
Condos and villas at Desert Princess
Desert Princess Country Club is a guard-gated community of more than 1,200 condos and villas set around its golf course. For a move there, two things matter most: the gate, and which building and unit you're in. Give us the unit number, whether it's upstairs, and the nearest parking to your door, and we'll size the crew around that walk.
Manufactured-home and 55+ communities
Cathedral City has several manufactured-home parks, including 55+ communities such as Tramview. The lanes are narrow and park offices often have rules about vehicles and move times. Check with the office before the day, and tell us about steps, ramps or a carport, so the right equipment is on the truck when it turns in.
Water service depends on your side of the wash
Two agencies supply Cathedral City’s water, and the Whitewater Wash divides them: Desert Water Agency serves homes west and south of the wash, and Coachella Valley Water District serves those east and north of it. Check which side your new address is on before you call to start service, so the water is on when you move in.
Check your street-sweeping day
The city sweeps its public streets once a month, on a set day for each of eight zones, from the first Monday for Zone 1 to the second Friday for Zone 8. Look up your zone on the city’s street-sweeping map, and if it falls on moving day, tell us so the truck can park clear of the sweeper. Gated communities and private streets aren’t part of the city’s program.
Date Palm Drive and the downtown district
Date Palm Drive is the city's main north-south road, running from its Interstate 10 interchange down toward Highway 111, and it's how most moving trucks come into town. Near Highway 111 and Cathedral Canyon Drive, the Downtown Arts & Entertainment District, home to the Mary Pickford Theatre, CVRep and Town Square Park, hosts events like the Hot Air Balloon Festival and Cathedral City LGBT Days. Moving near downtown on a festival weekend? Mention it early and we'll plan the route and start time around the street closures.
Short moves to Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage
Cathedral City sits between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage along Highway 111; the Cove is about 7 miles from downtown Palm Springs. Moves between the three are usually a single day, loaded in the morning and placed by the afternoon. If the new place won't be free when the old one has to be empty, we can hold your furniture in sealed wooden vaults at our building and deliver it once you call ahead. Storage services.
Packing, if you want it
Plenty of Cathedral City moves are apartments and condos where one tight weekend has to cover everything. Our crew can pack the kitchen and breakables, or the whole home, ahead of the truck. Full-service packing.
Reviews
Careful with every piece
4.6 stars from 181 Google reviews.
I was anxious about moving my oversized furniture upstairs in my new home. The movers were professional, personable, and removed all my worries. Everything was moved and placed exactly where I imagined the furniture should be in my new home. They took care of my items as if it was their own. I will tell anyone that is moving to use this company; they will take the stress of moving out of the equation.
Raquel S.Google reviewDesert Moving and Storage was prompt, very careful and efficient. Carefully wrapped all items prior to packing, and blanket wrapped all furniture before moving out of the home. We did not have a single thing damaged. They were cost competitive and would recommend them.
Martin C.Google reviewFast, efficient, and took care of my items. The three man crew worked diligently and had my in town move handled in less time than expected. I highly recommend this moving company and will be using them again come next move.
David C.Google reviewWhat a great moving company. This is the 3rd time we have used them for moving and we are never dissatisfied. Great guys to work with

FAQ
Common questions
Are you a local moving company for Cathedral City, CA?
Yes. Our crews and warehouse are in Indio, about 17 miles away, and Cathedral City is well inside the part of the valley we serve. We handle apartments, condos, houses and small offices, and we store belongings between homes.
How far is Cathedral City from Palm Springs?
Close. Cathedral City borders Palm Springs on Highway 111, and the Cove neighborhood is about 7 miles from downtown Palm Springs. A household move between the two towns is normally finished in one day.
Can you move a condo at Desert Princess Country Club?
Yes. Share your building and unit number, whether it's an upper floor, and the gate details when you book. We'll plan parking and the carry to your door before the day, so the crew isn't working it out on arrival.
Do you offer packing services in Cathedral City?
Yes. We bring the cartons and materials and pack as much or as little as you want, from fragile kitchen items to the entire home, ahead of loading. It's added to your written estimate.
What does a Cathedral City move cost?
That depends on how much is going, the stairs, parking and walking distance at both addresses, and whether you add packing or storage. You get a written estimate after we've seen the home, and that estimate comes before any date is booked.
