Lakewood runs from dense blocks near Colfax to foothill homes on Green Mountain. Each part of town brings its own moving day hurdles. We plan for them before the truck shows up.
- Belmar and Union Square condos. Many buildings need elevator holds and set loading times. Tell us your building rules, and we’ll schedule around them.
- Older homes in Eiber and Two Creeks. Narrow streets and on-street parking can mean a longer carry. We never charge a walking fee for it.
- Green Mountain and Rooney Valley. Steep driveways and foothill grades slow a crew, and winter adds snow and ice. We watch the forecast and call you if the weather affects your move.
- Rental trailers and RVs. Lakewood bans RVs and trailers from parking on public streets. Plan your load and unload so a trailer never sits out front overnight.
- Busy corridors. US-6, Wadsworth Boulevard, Colfax, and the W Line light rail shape truck routes and staging. Our crews plan the route to keep your hours down.

Moving to Lakewood, CO
Lakewood sits just west of Denver. It is the fifth most populous city in Colorado and the largest city in Jefferson County. It has a strong craft beer scene, with local spots like Green Mountain Beer Company, LandLocked Ales and Old 121 Brewhouse. Denver and the Rocky Mountains are both close, so there’s always something to explore outdoors. The city counts more than 110 parks and over 7,400 acres of parks and open space. It also has more than 240 miles of trails to walk, hike, jog or bike.
Community events fill the calendar too. Highlights include the fall festival Cider Days, free movies at the Rockin’ Block Party, and summer farmers’ markets.
Lakewood is also a major job center. The Denver Federal Center houses 26 federal agencies and about 8,000 workers. That makes it the largest group of federal agencies outside Washington, D.C.

Watch out for a mover with no PUC permit number, no written estimate, or no contract. Colorado movers must accept at least two forms of payment, so a cash-only demand is a warning sign. The PUC also warns against estimates made only over the phone.
