Missouri City Neighborhoods We Move In
Missouri City sits southwest of Houston, mostly in Fort Bend County, with Highway 6, the Fort Bend Toll Road and the Sam Houston Tollway running through it. These are the neighborhoods we move in and what to expect in each:
- Quail Valley: Missouri City's first master-planned neighborhood, started in the late 1960s along Cartwright Road, with ranch homes, patio homes and townhomes around the Quail Valley golf course
- Lake Olympia (77459): begun in 1984 on former Palmer Plantation land, with more than 100 acres of connected lakes and brick one- and two-story homes
- Sienna (77459): the master-planned community south of Highway 6 off Sienna Parkway, with Oyster Creek running through it and the Brazos River along its west side
- Hunters Glen: ranch and two-story homes from the 1970s and 80s on tree-lined streets near Hunters Glen Park
- Colony Lakes: 1990s and early-2000s homes around a lake, a few minutes from Sugar Land Town Square
- Fondren Park: an early-1960s neighborhood near US-90A on the Harris County side of the city, zoned to Houston ISD
We also move people in Vicksburg, Lexington Colony, Brightwater and Teal Run, in Stafford and Fresno next door, and from Missouri City to anywhere in greater Houston. A move from one side of the city to the other is billed the same hourly way.
Moving in Missouri City: What Our Crews Plan For
HOA rules, two-story homes, older houses full of belongings and Beltway traffic all change how a move runs. Here is what we sort out before move day:
-
HOA Rules in Planned Neighborhoods
Lake Olympia has a mandatory homeowners association, and most planned neighborhoods here, Sienna included, have deed restrictions. Tell us about any limits on truck parking, move hours or storage containers in the driveway and we plan around them.
-
Two-Story Homes
Many Lake Olympia, Colony Lakes and Sienna homes put the bedrooms upstairs. We pad banisters and door frames, measure big headboards and dressers against the stairway, and bring enough crew to carry them down safely.
-
Older Homes With Full Garages and Attics
Houses in Quail Valley, Hunters Glen and Fondren Park have often held one family for decades. Start on the garage and attic early, and if you want help, our packing crew can box what you are keeping.
-
Creeks, Lakes and Storm Season
Oyster Creek runs through Missouri City and the Brazos River runs along Sienna's west side. If a storm or a burst pipe forces you out, our contents restoration team can pack out, clean and store your belongings while the house is repaired.
-
Beltway, Highway 6 and School Traffic
We time arrival around rush hour on the Sam Houston Tollway, Highway 6 and Texas Parkway and around the school run at Ridge Point, Elkins and Hightower high schools. Traffic never changes the trip charge; it is one hour.
Tips for Your Missouri City Move
- Check your HOA rules for moving trucks and storage containers before you set the date.
- Clear the garage and attic a week or two early; they take longer than any room in the house.
- Measure big furniture against the stairs and upstairs doorways in a two-story home.
- If you are buying a new build, get a firm closing date from the builder or title company before you book movers.
- Keep medicines, documents and keys with you instead of in a box.
Your Dates, Guaranteed
Your pickup and delivery dates go into your booking in writing. If the buyer's closing moves or the new house is not ready, call your moving consultant and we change the date with you.
Getting to Missouri City
Missouri City is about 22 miles from our Clara Road warehouse, roughly 30 minutes down the Sam Houston Tollway in morning traffic. You pay the same 1-hour trip charge as a move across town; there is no mileage fee and no fuel surcharge.
