Kingwood Movers for the Villages of the Livable Forest
Blue Ox Moving & Storage is a family-owned Houston mover, in business since 2012. In Kingwood we move families between the villages, out of brick homes on wooded lots in the original sections, into golf-course homes and onto the larger lots near Lake Houston. Our movers are Blue Ox employees, and our TxDMV license (006708702) and USDOT number (2378720) are a click away.
Send us your move date with the short form or call (832) 934-2583. For a larger Kingwood home, a moving consultant can come out in person, and a smaller move can be priced on a video call.
- Houston hourly rates and only a 1-hour trip charge
- Crews that plan for tall pines, long driveways and greenbelt lots

In Kingwood, the hours usually go to four- and five-bedroom homes, long carries from driveways under the trees, and garages and attics full of decades of family things. A walkthrough or video call with your moving consultant settles the crew size and hours. See Houston moving prices by home size or read how our free estimates work.
Kingwood Villages We Move In
Kingwood is a master-planned community in northeast Houston, started in 1971 by Friendswood Development (an Exxon company) and King Ranch and annexed by the City of Houston in 1996. It covers about 14,000 acres on the east fork of the San Jacinto River and Lake Houston, with more than 75 miles of greenbelt trails, in ZIP codes 77339 and 77345. Our Kingwood moves mostly come from these villages:
- Trailwood: the first Kingwood village, built in the 1970s, with brick homes under tall pines
- Bear Branch: another of the early villages, close to Kingwood Town Center, with shaded greenbelt trails
- Kings Point: larger homes on wooded lots built from the 1980s on, with trails down to Lake Houston
- Kingwood Greens: a golf-course village from the 1990s, near The Clubs of Kingwood
- Woodland Hills, Greentree, Sand Creek and Mills Branch: established villages with single-family homes along the greenbelt trails
We also move people in Elm Grove, Fosters Mill, Kings Forest, Royal Shores and Forest Cove, out toward Porter and New Caney, and between Kingwood and Humble, Atascocita, The Woodlands or Houston. A move from one village to another is billed by the hour like any local move.
Moving in Kingwood: What Our Crews Plan For
Tall pines, wooded lots, golf-course and lake homes, flood history and the long drive up I-69 all shape a Kingwood move. This is what we plan for ahead of time:
-
Tall Pines and Wooded Lots
The Livable Forest means low branches over driveways and long walks to the front door. We check truck clearance and the carry distance at the estimate so the crew size fits the house.
-
Golf-Course and Lake Homes
Homes in Kingwood Greens, in Kings Point and near the lake tend to be larger, with patios and outdoor furniture. We size the crew and truck for the whole property, not just the rooms.
-
Flood History
Parts of Kingwood flooded in Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and again in 2019. If your home has taken water, our restoration contents team can pack out, clean and store what can be saved.
-
Village Rules
Kingwood villages have their own community associations, and some limit where a moving truck can park and when it can unload. Send us the rules and we plan the day around them.
-
I-69 and the Drive North
Most trips to Kingwood run up I-69 or the Sam Houston Tollway, and either can slow at rush hour. We pick start times around it, and traffic never changes your trip charge.
Tips for Your Kingwood Move
- Tell us about low branches, a narrow driveway or a long walk to the door before move day.
- Get your village's truck parking and move-in rules to your moving consultant early.
- Near the river or a creek? Keep a little room in your dates during storm season.
- Moving into a golf-course or lake home? Mention stairs and long walkways so we bring enough movers.
- Clear out the attic and garage first; in older Kingwood homes that is where the hours go.
Your Dates, Guaranteed
We write your pickup and delivery dates down the day you book. If your closing date or repair schedule changes, call your moving consultant and we move the dates with you.
Getting to Kingwood
Kingwood is about 36 miles from our Clara Road warehouse by the Sam Houston Tollway, or about 38 miles by I-69, usually close to an hour. The trip charge is a flat hour at your crew's rate, with no mileage and no fuel charge.
