Arriving and departing
Being next door to the University of Houston gives University Oaks a steady mix of long-time residents and newcomers tied to the campus, and the civic club notes that many families have lived here for generations. That means long-distance moves here can range from a professor's household arriving from another state to an estate of decades-old furniture heading to relatives elsewhere. Both start with a walkthrough and an inventory.
For outbound moves, we load in a single session where possible so the dedicated truck leaves full. Homes in the neighborhood date to the 1940s, and older pieces like china cabinets, antiques and framed art get custom crating or extra pad-wrapping for the long haul. If you also need to ship a car, our partner RunBuggyOne handles door-to-door vehicle transport anywhere in the U.S.
For inbound moves, keep the University of Houston calendar in mind. Residence hall move-in has brought lane restrictions on Cullen Boulevard between Cougar Place Drive and Wheeler Avenue, and commencement has closed part of Cullen in past years. Since a long-distance delivery date can shift slightly, we stay in touch as the truck nears Houston and adjust the final approach to the neighborhood if campus traffic is heavy.
If you are joining the UH faculty or staff, confirm your start date before locking the delivery window so the house is ready when the truck arrives.Set aside heirlooms and antiques for custom crating; tell us about them during the walkthrough so materials are ready on loading day.Plan delivery outside UH commencement week and late-August residence hall move-in when possible.Arrange vehicle shipping through RunBuggyOne at the same time you book the household move to keep both schedules aligned.
