Phoenix, AZ → Avondale, AZ · Local move
About 27 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,160–$1,730, delivery in 0–1 days, 1,433 carriers on the Phoenix side and 311 in Avondale.
Moving from Phoenix to Avondale is a local move of roughly 27 road miles, heading southwest within Arizona.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 51 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,160 and $1,730, before packing or storage.
On the Phoenix side there are 1,433 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (623 of them authorized for interstate work), and 311 around Avondale (138 interstate). For an in-state move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Avondale.
Phoenix has a population of about 1.7 million and Avondale about 100,983. Phoenix is considerably denser (3,105 people per square mile versus 1,889), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $610 to $910 for a studio, $720 to $1,070 for a one-bedroom, $1,160 to $1,730 for a two-bedroom, $1,810 to $2,690 for a three-bedroom and $2,720 to $4,040 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 27 road miles (23 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 51 min.
For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Phoenix and Avondale are in Arizona, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $180 to $250 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,040 to $1,540. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Phoenix–Avondale corridor.
