Travis Heights Homes Present Real Moving Challenges Crews Must Plan For
Travis Heights is full of 1920s–1960s bungalows and historic homes with character — and real moving challenges. Tight interior layouts and low doorframes are common in older builds. Our crews know what to expect before they walk through the door.
Uneven lots and steep driveways throughout the neighborhood make large truck positioning tricky. Mature live oak canopy on many streets limits overhead clearance for tall moving trucks. In some cases, we use smaller secondary vehicles on the narrowest winding streets between South Congress and I-35.
Furniture wrap and stair equipment are standard on every Travis Heights job. Split-level entries and original wood staircases need proper protection. We bring the right tools so your belongings arrive without a scratch.
Choosing a Mover Who Knows South Austin Saves Time on Move Day
If your mover doesn't know South Austin, you pay for it in wasted time. We know Riverside Drive, Oltorf Street, and the I-35 access points that get our crews to your door fast. Local familiarity cuts down on delays before the first box is even loaded.
South Congress sees heavy foot traffic during First Thursday events every month. Crews who know SoCo can route around that congestion without adding time to your move. We also serve Fairview Park, Bouldin Creek, and South Congress neighborhoods on the same day.
Permit parking and overnight restrictions vary block to block in 78704. We know which streets have restrictions and plan accordingly. You won't lose time on move day because of a parking problem we could have avoided.

A Pre-Move Walkthrough Prevents Surprises on Hilly Travis Heights Streets

Many Travis Heights homes built in the 1920s–1940s have narrow hallways and original wood staircases. Victorian and Craftsman-style homes may have wraparound porches that change how furniture gets routed out. These details affect how we stage the truck and sequence the load.
