Atascocita Neighborhoods We Move In
Atascocita is an unincorporated Harris County community of about 88,000 people (2020 census), roughly 18 miles northeast of downtown Houston, with FM 1960 running through it and Lake Houston along its eastern edge. Our Atascocita moves mostly come from these neighborhoods:
- Eagle Springs (77346): a 1,300-acre master-planned community off Will Clayton and West Lake Houston parkways, with two clubhouses and a 15-acre sports complex
- The Groves (77346): 993 acres at West Lake Houston Parkway and Madera Run Parkway, opened in 2014, planned for about 2,200 homes around 64 acres of preserved forest
- Balmoral (77346): newer homes near the Sam Houston Parkway and Woodland Hills Drive, built around a 2-acre crystal lagoon that opened in 2018
- Walden on Lake Houston (77346): homes along the lake and around the Walden on Lake Houston Golf and Country Club
- Older Atascocita off FM 1960 and Atascocita Road (77346): neighborhoods built from the 1970s through the 1990s, including Atascocita Shores and the streets near Atascocita Country Club
We also move people in Lakeshore, Waters Edge, Pinehurst and The Bridges on Lake Houston, and between Atascocita and Humble, Kingwood, Summerwood or Houston. A move across Atascocita is billed by the hour like any other local move.
Moving in Atascocita: What Our Crews Plan For
Lakefront homes, HOA rules, older homes off FM 1960, school traffic and the drive across north Houston all shape an Atascocita move. Here is what we plan for ahead of time:
-
Lakefront Homes
Homes near Lake Houston often have patios, outdoor kitchens, boat gear and a long carry from the driveway. Tell us what is outside so the crew, pads and truck are sized for it.
-
HOA Rules in Planned Communities
Eagle Springs, The Groves and Balmoral each have an HOA, and some limit truck parking and loading hours. Send us the rules before move day and we plan the crew around them.
-
Older Homes off FM 1960
Atascocita started building in the 1970s, and homes on the older streets tend to have attic storage, full garages and tighter halls than new builds. We count the attic and garage when we size the crew.
-
Humble ISD School Traffic
Drop-off and pickup at Atascocita High School and the elementary campuses slow FM 1960 and West Lake Houston Parkway. On school days we time arrivals to miss those windows.
-
Sam Houston Tollway and I-69
Our trucks reach Atascocita by the Sam Houston Tollway or I-69, and heavy traffic on either can add time. We set start times to miss the worst of it, and traffic never changes your trip charge.
Tips for Your Atascocita Move
- Ask your HOA for its truck parking and move-in rules and pass them to your moving consultant.
- List patio furniture, grills, kayaks and anything stored by the water so it is on the estimate.
- On school days, ask for a start time after the morning drop-off rush.
- Buying in The Groves or Balmoral? Get the closing date in writing before you book delivery out of storage.
- Pack a first-night box with medications, chargers, documents and valuables, and keep it in your car.
Your Dates, Guaranteed
Your pickup and delivery dates are written down the day you book. If a closing or lease date shifts, tell your moving consultant and we reschedule with you.
Getting to Atascocita
Atascocita is about 32 miles from our Clara Road warehouse by the Sam Houston Tollway, or about 35 miles by I-69, usually 50 minutes to an hour. The trip charge is the standard 1 hour at your crew's rate. There is no mileage fee and no fuel surcharge.
