Inside the neighborhood
Most in-neighborhood moves here fall into two patterns. Families who have outgrown a home move to a larger lot on the lakes, and empty nesters leave a big house for one of the roughly 39 homes in the gated Friendswood Lakes Garden Homes section, where median lots are closer to 7,200 square feet. Both moves are short, but the second one takes planning, because a full four-bedroom household rarely fits into a garden home without decisions about what to keep.
Homes in the main section were mostly built in the early to mid 2000s, and listings show a mix of one-story and two-story plans with large rooms. Heavy pieces such as armoires, sectional sofas and king bedframes need to come apart to clear stairwells and doorways. That disassembly and reassembly is part of our standard service, so it does not add a separate charge even when every bedroom has a bed to break down.
Streets like Garden Lakes Drive and Stoney Lake Drive curve around the water, and many backyards face a lake rather than the street. Patio sets, grills and outdoor furniture can be a long carry from the truck. Moves heading out to nearby areas often use Friendswood Lakes Boulevard to reach FM 528, and the 2021 four-lane extension to West Boulevard gives the crew another way out of the neighborhood when traffic builds.
Measure rooms in a garden home before move day and decide which large pieces will go to storage or be hauled off.Reserve a spot on your street for the truck the evening before so it can park close to your front door.Ask the crew to start with the game room and garage, since heavy items there set the pace for the rest of the day.Let neighbors on a shared drive or cul-de-sac know your move date so cars are clear of the truck's turning path.
