University Park is a Dallas County city of 25,278 people (2020 Census), bordered by Dallas on three sides and by Highland Park to the south. Together the two towns are known as the Park Cities. Southern Methodist University, founded in 1915, is here, and so is Highland Park High School. Highland Park ISD serves the whole residential city. About 79% of residential lots hold single-family homes, and many of the original smaller houses have been replaced with larger ones. As a result, a move out of a University Park home often involves a large household. Streets near SMU, the high school and the Moody Family YMCA fall inside resident parking districts, and heavy trucks are restricted within Snider Plaza, the city's commercial district that dates to 1927. That means we pick the truck size and loading position before moving day. North Central Expressway (US 75) is the usual route toward the interstates. Green Van Lines, a long-distance mover from Dallas–Fort Worth founded in 2007 and the first eco-friendly moving company in the United States, plans each move around these local conditions.
