Home » Moving Blog » Moving Companies in Tampa Ask Why Move to Riverview

Riverview, Florida draws families because of strong schools, low crime, a cost of living below both the Florida and national averages, and easy access to Tampa without the noise of a major city. Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa was founded there in 2010 and has completed more than 25,000 moves across the Tampa Bay area, with Riverview as its home base.

Moving Companies Tampa

Our headquarters is in Riverview, Florida. That is not a coincidence. When Gary Thacker founded Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa in 2010, he chose Riverview because he knew the area and believed in it. Over the years we have helped thousands of families move into Riverview homes, and we hear the same reasons over and over for why people pick this community.

Why Do So Many Families Choose to Move to Riverview?

Riverview has been recognized by CNNMoney as one of the top small cities to live in, and the reasons are practical ones. The school system performs well and graduation rates are high. The crime rate is relatively low, which matters a great deal to families with children. The area keeps growing, but it has held onto a neighborhood feel that larger cities tend to lose.

There are restaurants, bowling alleys, parks, and golf courses nearby. Residents still know their neighbors. That combination is harder to find than people expect.

How Close Is Riverview to Tampa and Other Attractions?

Riverview sits close enough to Tampa that day trips to Busch Gardens, Buccaneers games, and other major attractions are genuinely easy. You get the quiet of a smaller community without giving up access to a major metro area. That proximity is one of the things people mention most when we ask why they chose Riverview over other parts of the region.

What Does the Cost of Living Actually Look Like?

The numbers here are worth knowing before you decide. The median household income in Riverview exceeds the national figure by twenty four percent, and the poverty rate is an equal percentage below the national average. The cost of living runs two percent below the Florida average and one percent below the national average. Home prices reflect that. In some cases it is more economical to buy in Riverview than to rent, which draws a lot of buyers who might otherwise have stayed in higher-cost areas.

What About the Weather?

Average temperatures in Riverview range from sixty two to eighty three degrees. That is the honest version of why people keep relocating to Florida in general. Winters that do not require a snow shovel carry real weight when someone is deciding where to put down roots.

Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa is not just a company that serves Riverview. Our location there is our home base. We handle local moves in the Tampa Bay area and long distance moves on our own trucks with our own crews, no brokers involved. If you are planning a move to Riverview or anywhere in the region, call us at (813) 505-2560 and we will give you a straight answer on what it will cost and what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our headquarters is genuinely in Riverview, not a mail drop. Gary Thacker founded the company there in 2010, and the crews serving Hillsborough County south of Tampa are based out of that location. That matters because a crew starting a job from Riverview rather than driving down from north Tampa can mean less travel time billed to you on a local hourly move.

We quote you one hourly rate that covers the crew and the truck before you book, and travel time appears as a single plain line on your estimate, not a hidden fuel surcharge added later. For a Tampa to Riverview move the drive is short, so travel is a small part of the total. You'll know the full picture before we show up, not after the truck is unloaded.

It can affect the time it takes, which on a local hourly move affects your total. If your new Riverview home has a long carry from the truck to the front door, or if the community gate requires a code or escort, those are things worth telling us when you book. We'd rather know ahead of time and give you an accurate picture than have you surprised on moving day.

Florida's default carrier liability is 60 cents per pound per item, which is the legal minimum and rarely covers actual value. A damaged 50-pound dresser would net you 30 dollars under that standard. We explain full-value protection options before your move date, not after something breaks, because finding out how little you're covered for after the fact is the kind of thing that turns a good move into a bad memory.

They are partner crews, not day labor pulled from an app the morning of your move. These movers own or rent their trucks and are paid based on the job, so they have a direct stake in doing the work carefully and efficiently. That structure has been part of how Brothers Easy Moving of Tampa has operated since Gary started the company in Riverview in 2010.
