Local expertise for Highland's mix of historic charm and new growth

Moving In or Out of Highland

Highland sits just northwest of downtown, across I-25 and the South Platte River, running from Speer Boulevard north to 38th Avenue and from the river west to Federal Boulevard. It started in the 1870s as the separate town of Highlands, and it still holds some of the oldest single-family homes close to downtown. The Potter Highlands Historic District, between 32nd and 38th Avenues from Federal Boulevard to Zuni Street, protects blocks of Victorians, Queen Annes, and brick bungalows. Toward the river, Lower Highland, better known as LoHi, has filled in with newer townhomes and apartment buildings, and the Highland Bridge carries pedestrians across I-25 toward downtown.

That mix makes Highland moves two different jobs. Older houses mean narrow original staircases, tight doorways, and woodwork worth protecting. Newer LoHi townhomes mean three or four floors of stairs, rooftop decks, and garage-level entries. Street parking is tight on both sides of 32nd Avenue. Our office on Pennsylvania Street is a short drive across the river, and we also move neighbors in the Central Business District, West Colfax, and Five Points and RiNo.

Abe Lincoln Movers crew on a residential move

Ron Ferguson, owner of Abe Lincoln Movers “Highland’s one of the most fun neighborhoods to work in because no two houses are alike. Victorians with original hardwood sit a few blocks from brand-new townhomes in LoHi. Our crews know how to protect that original woodwork and get through the narrow staircases in the older homes, and we plan our loading times around the parking crunch along 32nd Avenue so the move actually stays on schedule.” Ron, Owner of Abe Lincoln Movers

Nature T.

I had to schedule a move with one day notice. Ron at the office scheduled it and confirmed all details. So kind. Roman and Troy who moved my stuff were amazing. Both so nice. They showed up early and each had a dolly. I had moved using ABF freight so first they took my stuff off the ABF truck and packed it into a Uhaul. Then we drove to a temp home and they unloaded the Uhaul and packed the stuff in a garage. They were fast, efficient and very careful with my stuff. When I get my own place, I will definitely call them for that move! Thanks Ron, Roman and Troy!!

Response from the owner:We really appreciate your business and stellar review! We look forward to helping you again and wish you all the best!

Townhome and Rooftop Move Planner

Stairs are where townhome moves spend their time. Tell us how your home is laid out to see how much the floors, the garage entry, and the rooftop deck add to moving day.

Rule of thumb: every floor above the front door adds roughly 10 to 15 percent to moving time, a garage-level entry counts as one more floor, and a furnished rooftop deck adds about an hour. Stage boxes by floor and tell us about anything heavy upstairs.

Highland Homes and What Moving Day Looks Like

Highland packs some of the oldest houses near downtown and some of the newest townhomes into the same few square miles. Find your kind of home to see what shapes the day and what to sort out before you book.

Victorians and bungalows in Potter Highlands

Historic homes from the town of Highlands era.

Narrow original staircases, tight doorways, and woodwork and floors worth protecting. Large pieces often tilt or come apart, and every turn gets padded.

Tell us: Your narrowest door and stairway, and any antiques or heirlooms

Specialty moving →

LoHi townhomes

Newer homes with three or four floors and rooftop decks.

Most of the time goes to stairs. Garage-level entries, rooftop furniture, and big pieces on upper floors all add time, so boxes are staged by floor.

Tell us: Number of floors, deck furniture, and anything heavy upstairs

Residential moving →

Apartments and condos

Mid-size buildings near the river and along 32nd Avenue.

Elevator reservations, set move hours, and street parking that fills early. Some buildings want a certificate of insurance before move day.

Tell us: Your elevator window and the building's insurance requirements

What Makes Moving in Highland Different

Historic home movers: The Potter Highlands Historic District is full of Victorians, Queen Annes, and century-old bungalows. Our specialty moving crews pad original staircases, banisters, and door frames, and homes built before 1950 get a pre-move consultation.
LoHi townhome and condo movers: Multi-level townhomes and condo buildings near the river come with stairs, rooftop decks, and tight loading. Our local moving team stages boxes by floor and plans the truck spot ahead of time.
Piano, antique, and heavy item movers: Older homes often hold pianos, antiques, and heavy furniture. Our piano moving team brings the boards, straps, and extra hands to get them through narrow doorways and stairwells.
Scheduling around busy blocks: Parking along 32nd Avenue and near the restaurant corners fills fast, especially on weekends. We pick start times and truck spots that keep your move on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have experience moving in and out of Highland's historic homes?

Yes. Many homes in the Potter Highlands Historic District are more than a century old. We pad original woodwork, banisters, and door frames, measure the tight spots during your walkthrough, and give homes built before 1950 a pre-move consultation.

How do you handle parking and loading along 32nd Avenue?

Parking near the restaurant corners on 32nd Avenue fills fast, especially on weekends. We plan the truck spot during your estimate, pick a start time that avoids the busiest hours, and tell you if your block needs a street occupancy permit.

How long does a three-story townhome move take?

It depends on bedrooms, how many floors sit above the front door, and what is on the roof deck. Stairs usually add 10 to 15 percent per floor. The townhome and rooftop move planner on this page gives you a quick estimate.

Can you help me downsize into a smaller Highland condo?

Yes. Our packing team can pack only what is going, and we plan around your new building's elevator and move hours. Sort out donations and large item pickup before move day so only what fits makes the trip.

Are your movers trained to handle antiques and fragile items?

Yes. Antiques and artwork are wrapped with the same specialty techniques we use on pianos and other fragile pieces, and our packing service can handle them for you.
