Stack in the Box Moving & Storage Profile Image

Movers arrived on time and handled my items with care. The move was challenging due to the small POD, but they made everything fit (albeit begrudgingly). Just a warning, as advertised, they truly did not have any moving equipment beyond a simple dolly--I had to run to the store to buy my own furniture blankets and ratchet straps to secure items in place (didn't know I needed the latter, but I appreciate their expertise in advising me). I ultimately would use them again, though would likely plan better regarding the POD size to avoid friction. On a separate note, the front office rep, Jerome Jenkins, was excellent. He was easily reachable by phone, and when my POD drop-off was delayed last minute, Jerome was kind enough to reschedule my move without any additional fees. Later after my move was complete, he reached back out to make sure everything went fine. Really appreciate his help and flexibility.

Major Neighborhoods in Houston

Houston is one of the biggest and busiest metros in Texas, and that's saying something. For starters, there's a NASA training center here, called Johnson Space Center. You've also got your pick of entertainment, be it a sunny day of baseball at Miniute Maid Stadium or a night of theater at the Houston Grand Opera. And there's no excuse for not trying the barbeque at Burns Original BBQ! Of course, all of this is just scratching the surface of how locals really live all throughout Houston's many notable neighborhoods.

The Heights

Just a short distance northwest of downtown Houston lies The Heights in fact, there's a hike and bike trail that starts on Moy Street and connects the two areas. This neighborhood is known for its Victorian-styled homes, retro stores like record shops, and the Heights Theatre. But there's also a dose of modernity in places like the Mercantile shopping center. All that historic charm means the streets and parking spaces are pretty narrow. Using local movers who know what roads can't handle moving trucks means you can rest easy while relocating.

Montrose

Montrose (also known as Neartown) is a 4-square-mile neighborhood southwest of downtown Houston packed with culture, food, and nightlife. The central thoroughfare of Westheimer Road is known for its thrift shops and boutiques. If you're an art aficionado, you should visit Rothko Chapel to view some of the famous artist's works. And Whenever you get tired of indoor activities, you can take a walk along any of the trails through the 30-acre Menil Park. Thinking of moving to Montrose? Professional local movers who know how to navigate the neighborhood are just a click away.

Rice Village

Houston’s Rice Village is right by — you guessed it! — Rice University. Sometimes called simply The Village, this neighborhood is one of Texas's oldest shopping districts. Since it's so walkable, you can spend a day meandering to local boutiques or the fresh fish market Blue Horizon. If you stay out too late shopping, no worries grab a hot dog at Yoyo's that's open until 3 am. If you're planning on joining the Rice Village community, our professional local movers can handle all the logistics for you.

Memorial

Tucked away in the western part of Houston lies Memorial. Named after Memorial Drive, which winds its way through the area, this neighborhood is known for its greenery and parks. This includes Memorial Park, one of the largest urban parks in the United States. And in the Texas tradition of everything being bigger, there's also CityCentre, a massive shopping, entertainment, and residential development. If Memorial sounds like your new home, hiring local movers who know the neighborhood will give you a stress-free moving experience.
