About Friendswood
Friendswood was founded in 1895 by a group of Quakers led by T. Hadley Lewis and Frank J. Brown, and for decades it stayed a small farming community known for Magnolia figs. After 1950, Houston families began buying farmland for subdivisions, and the city incorporated in 1960. That history shows up in the housing today: established neighborhoods close to the old town center sit near newer master-planned areas such as Avalon at Friendswood and Friendswood Trails, so no two moves here look quite the same.
The city straddles Galveston and Harris counties and uses the 77546 and 77549 ZIP codes. Clear Creek runs through it and also marks the school line, with Friendswood ISD to the south and Clear Creek ISD to the north. Families timing a move around a school year should confirm which side of the creek a new address falls on. The creek also floods in major storms; Hurricane Harvey in 2017 hit the city hard, and afterward some residents began building homes raised above ground level.
Three state roads carry most moving traffic. FM 518, which runs through downtown as Friendswood Drive, links Pearland to League City. FM 528, known in town as Ralph L. Lowe Parkway, runs northeast toward I-45. FM 2351 crosses the city and continues northeast to SH 146 near Shoreacres. Downtown has been redeveloping, with mixed-use and medical office projects along South Friendswood Drive, so our crews plan parking and loading before the truck arrives.
Plan around the Fourth of July celebration, when the long-running parade travels down Friendswood Drive to Stevenson Park and fills the downtown area.Check whether your new address is north or south of Clear Creek before enrolling kids, since the creek divides Friendswood ISD from Clear Creek ISD.If your home was built or rebuilt higher off the ground after Harvey, mention it during the walkthrough so we plan for the extra entry steps.Give yourself extra time on FM 518 during weekday rush hours, when traffic between Pearland and League City backs up through town.

FAQ's
Answers to common questions from people planning a move in or out of Friendswood.
Yes. Friendswood sits in both counties, and we move homes and businesses on either side, including addresses north of Clear Creek in the Clear Creek ISD area and south of it in Friendswood ISD. The county line does not change how we quote or schedule your move.
We handle local moves within Friendswood and to nearby cities, long-distance moves to anywhere in the continental U.S., and commercial and office relocations. Packing, storage, specialty items like pianos and gun safes, and estate cleanouts are also available.
Local moves are charged by the hour for the time the crew actually works. The deposit equals the two-hour minimum, and it is fully refundable if you cancel or reschedule at least 48 hours ahead. Weekend moves cost the same hourly rate as weekdays.
Crews keep working through normal rain using floor protectors, shrink-wrap and waterproof pads. If conditions become unsafe, such as thunderstorms or a hurricane warning, we reschedule with no fee. That matters in a city where Clear Creek has flooded during major storms.
Mid-week, mid-month dates usually have the most openings. May through August and the last weekend of each month book up fastest. We suggest booking at least a week ahead, and three or more weeks ahead for a holiday weekend such as the Fourth of July.
Yes. We offer overnight, week-long and month-to-month storage, which helps when a Friendswood sale closes before your next home is ready. Your belongings stay wrapped and inventoried until we deliver them, whether that is across town or to another city in the Houston area.
Thank you for considering us for your moving needs. We will get back to you during normal business hours.
