Moving to Houston

Affectionately called "H-Town," Houston is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. The Houston area comprises about 600 square miles and has a population of more than two million people. With a strong job market, affordable housing, and a thriving nightlife scene, Houston is becoming a mecca for young professionals to live and play in. The arts culture is equally as rich in Houston, with many galleries and museums sure to delight.

With such a large area, there are many options for diverse neighborhoods to move to. The Montrose neighborhood is an eclectic area with artsy coffee shops, unique boutiques, and fun thrift shops. If you want to be in the thick of all that Houston has to offer, the Downtown neighborhood is filled with young working professionals, retirees, artists, musicians, and everyone in between. Downtown is a desirable place to live with its easy access to fine dining, music, shopping, and cultural events.

For a more quiet neighborhood, head over to River Oaks with beautiful spatial homes, large lawns, and shady trees. You’ll be near the River Oaks Shopping Center which features upscale shops, beauty and day salons, and fine dining. Once you have picked the perfect neighborhood to move to, use PODS moving boxes and supplies to help you move your possessions to your new Houston home.

Houston is a large metropolitan area in southern Texas that extends out to the Barrier Island known as Galveston. Houston's economic boom began with the discovery of oil fields in the 1800s, and its economy has been growing steadily ever since, attracting visitors and new residents alike. If you’re considering moving to Houston, learn how PODS moving and storage solutions can reduce stress during the process.

PODS vs Traditional Moving Companies Checklist

Your life gets turned upside down during a move. That’s why for most people, maintaining a sense of control is key. But that’s not easy when a group of professional movers sweeps into your home and begins packing and loading your belongings with all the tactical eﬃciency of a S.W.A.T. team.

Add in their rigid scheduling and inﬂexible processes of most professional movers, and people can often feel like they’re working for the movers, instead of the other way around.

With PODS, you’re in control, with things like super-easy scheduling in case your situation changes and built-in storage options if you need them. We can also refer you to local packing and loading professionals, whether you want help loading just the heavy stuff or need assistance packing up everything in your house.

Long-distance moving FAQ

How much does long distance moving cost?

The cost of your long-distance move is dependent on several factors, including how much you are moving, how far you’re traveling, and the time of year. Moving with PODS instead of a full-service mover can help you save. Call (855) 706-4758 for the most accurate quote for your move.

What is long-distance moving?

Long-distance moving is a broad term. It can be anything from moving a couple towns over to a full-blown cross-country job relocation. Generally, if your move has you changing cities, it can be considered long distance.

How does long-distance moving work?

Moving long-distance can be stressful, however, PODS offers a flexible, convenient solution. Call our long-distance moving experts to book your container(s) and have them delivered to your home. Load up your belongings at your own pace, and PODS will pick the container(s) up and send them to your next home. Unload your things into your next home and you’re done.

What are the best long-distance moving companies?
