Moving Company near Manor Road AustinManor Road Movers Who Know Cherrywood, French Place, and Every Bungalow Between

Manor Road is an east-west arterial running through the heart of East Austin — connecting I-35 on the west to Mueller and Airport Boulevard on the east, serving as the southern boundary of Cherrywood (ZIP 78722) and the northern edge of French Place and Upper Boggy Creek. If you're searching for a moving company Manor Road Austin residents rely on, Mountain Movers works this corridor regularly. We handle full-service moves for the range of home types here — Cherrywood bungalows and cottages built between the 1930s and 1960s, converted duplexes, garage apartments, new-construction townhomes, and modern apartment communities along the corridor.

Manor Road received significant City of Austin multimodal improvements in 2021, including protected bike lanes, relocated CapMetro bus stops, and reconfigured intersections. Those changes created specific truck staging constraints that didn't exist before. Cherrywood's housing stock also means short driveways, tight lot setbacks, mature pecan and live oak canopies, and interior door clearances that predate modern furniture dimensions. And the MLK Station Transit-Oriented Development plan is adding mid-rise residential buildings directly alongside original single-family bungalows — both building types show up on the same block. A crew that already knows all of this changes how move day goes.

Cherrywood and French Place Were Built in the 1930s–60s — and Moving Those Homes Requires a Different Skill Set

Cherrywood was developed from the late 1930s through the 1960s, primarily for returning WWII veterans and their families on modest budgets. The original bungalow footprint averages 620 to 1,200 square feet, with hallways and doorframes that predate modern sofa depths and mattress sizes by decades. Our crews flag oversized items before move day and bring the right disassembly tools — not after the truck is already parked. Many Cherrywood lots along streets like Cherrywood Road, Maplewood Avenue, and Giles Street have mature pecan trees in the front yard or directly over the driveway. Low-hanging limbs at the curb line make large truck entry a precision maneuver, and those trees are protected under City of Austin Heritage Tree ordinance — limb contact during a move is both a legal risk and a neighbor relations problem. The duplex-conversion trend on the corridor also means shared driveways and common entry corridors; neighbors on move-in and move-out timing need to be coordinated in advance. French Place, south of Manor Road between I-35 and Cherrywood Road, has near-identical housing stock — same era, same tight lots, same pecan canopies.

Manor Road's 2021 Bike Lane and Intersection Overhaul Changed How Moving Trucks Can Legally Stage

In 2021, the City of Austin completed multimodal improvements on Manor Road — protected bicycle lanes, upgraded pedestrian crossings, and new and relocated CapMetro bus stops. The Manor Road and Cherrywood Road intersection was fully reconstructed with dedicated left-turn lanes, raised crosswalks, and reconfigured bus stop placement. Under City of Austin ordinance, a moving truck may not drive across or occupy a protected bicycle lane except to access a driveway, parking space, or alley. Staging along the Manor Road curb where protected bike lanes now exist requires our crew to identify a legal driveway access point or use a parallel residential side street instead — and that gets planned before the truck rolls, not after it arrives. CapMetro bus stops relocated as part of the 2021 project now sit in positions that weren't bus stops previously; parking within those newly marked zones creates citation risk. The Alexander Avenue and Manor Road intersection also received a new crosswalk island and upgraded bicycle connections to the Upper Boggy Creek Trail near MLK Station, which affects truck turns from Alexander Avenue during the morning pedestrian and cyclist peak from 7 to 9 AM. Moves from the Hancock neighborhood west of I-35, which often route through these same intersections, get the same staging awareness from our crew.
