Moving out of Lancaster, Texas

Lancaster sits in southern Dallas County, where it is part of the Best Southwest group of cities, and the 2020 Census counted 41,275 residents. The first settlers arrived in 1844, and the Historic Town Square still anchors downtown after being rebuilt following fires and a 1994 tornado. After 1950 Lancaster grew as a bedroom community for Dallas, and the city describes its housing as about 75% single-family and 24% multi-family, so most moves start at a house rather than an apartment. Lancaster ISD serves most of the city, and Dallas ISD covers a small part. I-35E runs along the west side and I-20 along the far north, and Park 20/35, a large business park, sits where they meet. I-45 lies about five miles east. For interstate moves, that puts a loaded truck on a major freeway within minutes in almost any direction. The city has adopted cargo container ordinances, so check placement rules before ordering a portable container. Green Van Lines, founded in 2007 as the first eco-friendly moving company in the US, is a long-distance mover based about 25 miles north in Farmers Branch.
