About Travis Heights, Austin

Travis Heights is a historic South Austin neighborhood bordered by Lady Bird Lake to the north, I-35 to the east, Congress Avenue to the west, and Oltorf Street to the south—an area with fast downtown access but also real-world moving constraints related to traffic, curb space, and narrow residential streets. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Moving Process in Travis Heights

Moving with Move & Care is typically three stages: preparation, moving day, and settling in after delivery. Travis Heights has a few practical details worth planning around.

1. Preparation

Once you request an estimate and set a moving date, the next steps depend on your service level. If you choose packing services, we can handle packing and protection. If you’re packing yourself, use our guide: how to pack for a move. Start early so moving-day decisions stay simple.

Before moving day in Travis Heights, we recommend checking four things:

1. Route realities and real-time traffic. Travis Heights is bounded by major corridors (I-35, Congress Ave, Oltorf), and travel times can shift quickly based on incidents or work zones. For current conditions, TxDOT’s DriveTexas is a reliable official source. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
2. Downtown / lake crossings and event closures. Because the neighborhood sits just south of Lady Bird Lake, moving routes may be affected by event-related closures on major streets and bridges. The City posts maps and lists on Upcoming Special Event Street Closures. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
3. Parking, curb space, and permits (verify before you assume). For many small residential moves, a special permit is often not required if the truck can legally park without blocking a lane/sidewalk and you’re not placing equipment in the public right-of-way. However, if you need to reserve curb space, block a lane, or otherwise use the public right-of-way, the City may require a Temporary Use of the Right of Way (TURP) through the official ROW Permits process. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
4. Neighborhood street rules and permit parking zones. Some Austin streets participate in Residential Permit Parking (RPP). If your block is signed for permit parking, plan guest parking and loading accordingly (and read posted signs). The City’s overview starts here: Residential Permit Parking. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

Building/access realities in Travis Heights: Parts of the area are known for historic, predominantly residential housing and a street layout that includes curving residential streets—details that can affect where a moving truck can stage and how far items must be carried. If your home sits on a slope, has exterior steps, or limited curb space, tell your move coordinator early so we plan crew size and protection materials accordingly. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

2. The Move

On moving day, our crew arrives at the scheduled time, confirms the walk path and staging plan with you, then gets to work. If packing is included, we pack and label items, disassemble furniture as needed, and protect floors and doorways before loading. Once the truck is loaded, we head to your destination and coordinate any building rules (e.g., elevator reservations or designated loading) that you’ve shared in advance.

If your move includes storage coordination, we can route via storage when planned.

3. After the Move

At delivery, we unload into the rooms you specify, reassemble furniture as requested, and complete a final walkthrough so you can confirm everything arrived as expected. If you’ve selected unpacking support, we can help with that step as well.

About Pricing

Move & Care pricing is typically structured as hourly rates for local Austin moves and flat rates for long-distance moves (within Texas or interstate), based on the scope and logistics confirmed during scheduling. Your estimate becomes more accurate when we know access details like stairs, walking distance from truck to door, and any right-of-way or parking constraints.
