Dallas to Austin Apartment Moving
What Makes an Apartment Move Different on This Route
The Dallas-to-Austin corridor is dominated by apartment movers. The tech migration driving this move — from Uptown Dallas and Deep Ellum to The Domain, South Congress, and East Austin — is almost entirely apartment-to-apartment. Same-day moves. Tight windows. Building management paperwork. Elevators at both ends.
Moving Company Guys makes this specific move routine. We run this route multiple times per week — we know The Domain’s elevator reservation process, we know which Dallas Uptown buildings require COI from your movers, we know that SoCo street parking gets impossible after 11AM. Book a mid-morning Dallas loading time and we hit Austin before the afternoon rush every time.
For a full overview of the route, pricing, and Austin neighborhoods, see our complete Dallas to Austin movers guide. For cost-specific detail including seasonal savings, see our Dallas to Austin moving cost guide. This page focuses specifically on what apartment movers on this route need to know.
🏗️ Elevator Windows
Many Dallas and Austin apartment buildings restrict elevator access to specific time windows — often 9AM–5PM weekdays only. We coordinate your loading elevator in Dallas and your move-in elevator in Austin before your move date.
📋 COI Requirements
Most luxury Austin apartment complexes — The Domain, Downtown towers, Barton Hills — require a certificate of insurance from your moving company before allowing the move. We provide this to any building, any time, included in your quote.
🕒 Austin Timing
Austin’s 4–7PM rush hour adds 60–90 minutes to your unload if we arrive during it. We schedule mid-morning Dallas departures specifically to hit Austin between 1–3PM — the sweet spot before the evening rush.
🚗 Parking Coordination
South Congress, East Austin, and Hyde Park apartments often have street-only parking that needs coordination on move day. We contact building management beforehand to arrange parking holds or loading zone access.

Where Are You Moving in Austin?
Dallas to Austin — Major Apartment Destinations
Each Austin apartment area has different access requirements, elevator situations, and parking logistics. Here’s what to expect at your destination — and what it adds to your quote.
North Austin · Tech Hub
The Domain
The most common Austin destination for Dallas tech transplants. Apple, Amazon, Oracle, and Google employees moving here from Dallas Uptown and Plano make this our most-requested Austin delivery address. Luxury high-rises throughout — The Archer, Alexan Domain, The Travis.
Base apartment rate
+ $75–$150 elevator coordination
Booking tip: Reserve your move-in elevator with The Domain building management 3–4 weeks ahead — slots fill fast. We provide the COI your building requires. Weekday moves have more elevator availability.
Urban · Downtown
Downtown Austin
Residential towers and loft conversions near Sixth Street, the Convention Center, and Congress Avenue. Most Dallas movers heading downtown are empty-nesters or young professionals choosing Austin’s walkable urban core. Buildings like The 44, The Independent, 360 Condos.
Base apartment rate
+ $100–$200 elevator + building coordination
Booking tip: Many Downtown Austin buildings require weekday-only moves. Check your building’s policy before setting your date. COI required — we have it ready.
Cultural · Eclectic
South Congress — SoCo
Music venues, food trucks, vintage shops, and new apartment developments attract Dallas residents seeking Austin’s signature vibe. Mix of older apartments and newer builds along South Congress Avenue and surrounding streets.
Base apartment rate
+ $0–$75 parking coordination
Booking tip: SoCo street parking is impossible after 11AM. We schedule Austin arrival for 9–11AM to load the parking before it fills. Mention your specific address when booking.
Hip · Gentrifying
East Austin
Street art, live music, bungalows turned into luxury rentals, and new apartment buildings — one of Austin’s fastest-growing areas for Dallas transplants. Wide range of apartment types from converted 1940s homes to brand-new 5-story complexes.
Base apartment rate
+ $0–$75 depending on access
Booking tip: New builds add nothing — easy parking, elevators, loading bays. Older converted apartments can have narrow stairs and street-only parking. Tell us your specific building type when booking.
Historic · Central
Hyde Park
Near UT Austin, Hyde Park attracts UT faculty, grad students, and professionals from Dallas’s academic and medical sectors. 1920s–40s apartment buildings and converted houses with mature trees and quiet streets.
Base apartment rate
+ $50–$75 access coordination
Booking tip: Older buildings often have narrow stairwells. Measure large furniture pieces before move day. Street parking usually available with planning — we coordinate early arrival.
North Suburb · Easy Access
Round Rock / Pflugerville
The easiest Austin-area apartment destination. Newer complexes with wide roads, large parking lots, ground-floor and elevator-equipped buildings. Dell Technologies HQ in Round Rock draws IT professionals from DFW regularly.
Base apartment rate
No add-on in most cases
Booking tip: The most cost-effective Austin destination. If you have date and neighborhood flexibility, Round Rock plus an off-season move date gets you the lowest possible all-in price on this route.
Where in Dallas Are You Coming From?
Dallas Apartment Origins — What to Expect
Your Dallas starting point determines how we approach the loading. Here’s what different Dallas apartment areas require — and what it means for your quote.
Uptown Dallas / Oak Lawn High-Rises
The Stoneleigh, The Crescent, 2900 McKinnon, The Ritz-Carlton Residences — these buildings require loading elevator reservations, COI from your movers, and scheduling during building-approved windows. Our office at 3333 Lee Pkwy is in the heart of Uptown — this is our home territory.
+$100–$200 elevator coordination at origin
East Dallas / Lakewood / Munger Place
Historic apartments and converted houses with ground-level access, street parking, and occasionally narrow 30–32 inch doorways in older buildings. Usually easier access than Uptown but furniture sizing can be a factor. Always mention narrow doorways when booking.
Base rate — no add-on in most cases
Garland / Richardson / Sachse Apartments
Garden-style apartments and townhome communities with excellent access. Our Garland hub at 2913 Big Oaks Drive means this is the fastest and most convenient origin point for our crews — zero travel time to get to your apartment.
Base rate — our home hub, no add-on
Plano / Frisco / McKinney / Allen Apartments
Modern apartment complexes throughout Collin County — Legacy, Granite Park, The Star, Frisco Square. Excellent access, wide roads, generous parking. Tech employees from these areas commonly make the Dallas-to-Austin tech migration when companies relocate operations.
Base rate — easy access, no add-on
Certificate of Insurance
Your Austin Building Requires a COI. We Have It.
Almost every luxury apartment complex in Austin’s growth corridors — The Domain, Downtown, Mueller, Rainey Street — requires a certificate of insurance from your moving company before they’ll approve a move-in date. This is standard in Austin in a way it isn’t in most DFW apartment markets.
Moving Company Guys holds USDOT #3918729 and TxDMV #009567347C and carries commercial liability insurance appropriate for residential apartment moves. We provide a certificate of insurance to your Austin building management within 24 hours of your request — named additional insured if required, formatted however your property management company specifies.
This is included with every apartment moving quote. There is no extra charge, no separate processing fee, and no delay — just tell us your Austin building’s management company when you book and we have the COI ready before your move date.
Unsure whether your Austin building requires a COI? Call your building management directly or call us at (972) 528-0385 — we can often tell you based on the complex name.
Before Your Move-In Day — Apartment Checklist
1
Reserve your Austin elevator
Contact your Austin building management 3–4 weeks ahead to reserve the move-in elevator. Slots at Domain complexes fill quickly on weekends.
2
Request COI from us
Tell us your Austin building’s management company. We’ll have the COI to them within 24 hours — any format they require.
3
Confirm your move-in window
Many Austin buildings restrict moves to specific windows (e.g., 9AM–4PM weekdays). Confirm your window with management before setting your move date with us.
4
Coordinate Dallas elevator (if applicable)
If you’re leaving a Dallas Uptown or Downtown high-rise, book your loading elevator there too. We handle this coordination — just let us know your building name when booking.
5
Confirm written quote day before
We’ll call or text the day before your move to confirm timing, crew size, and your written quote total. What we confirm is what you pay.

Studio: $1,400–$1,650. 1-bedroom: $1,650–$1,950. 2-bedroom: $2,100–$2,650. 3-bedroom apartment or townhome: $2,850–$3,600. Add $75–$200 for Austin high-rise elevator coordination.

Yes — The Domain is one of our most common Austin delivery addresses. We coordinate elevator reservations with Domain property management, provide certificates of insurance to your building, and schedule within your approved move-in window. Elevator coordination adds $75–$150 to your base apartment quote. Book your move-in elevator with building management 3–4 weeks ahead — then call us at (972) 528-0385 and we handle the rest.
Many do — especially luxury complexes in The Domain, Downtown Austin, Mueller, and Rainey Street. Call your Austin building management to confirm. If they require a COI, we provide it within 24 hours of your request at no extra charge. We hold USDOT #3918729 and TxDMV #009567347C and carry commercial liability insurance appropriate for apartment moves. Just tell us your building’s management company name when you book.
Studio: same-day, approximately 4–6 hours total (loading, drive, unloading). 1BR: same-day, approximately 5–7 hours. 2BR: same-day in most cases, approximately 6–9 hours. We load in Dallas in the morning and target Austin arrival between 1–3PM to beat the evening rush. Waco construction can add 20–30 minutes — we always build a buffer.
Yes — Dallas Uptown high-rises like The Stoneleigh, The Crescent, and 2900 McKinnon require loading elevator reservations and COI from your movers. We coordinate this at the Dallas end as well. Uptown elevator coordination adds $100–$200 to your base quote. Our office at 3333 Lee Pkwy Suite 600 is in Uptown — this is our home territory and we handle these buildings regularly. Tell us your building name when you call and we’ll confirm the exact process.
Three levers in order of impact: (1) Move mid-week, mid-month, November through February — saves 20–30% vs peak-season month-end weekend. (2) Move into Cedar Park, Round Rock, or Pflugerville rather than a high-rise complex — saves $75–$200 in access fees. (3) Declutter before the move — fewer boxes means fewer hours. A studio move in January to Round Rock is the floor price for this route. Call (972) 528-0385 for exact pricing on any combination of date and destination.
