Movers in Alafaya and the UCF Area

One of Orange County’s busiest places to move

Alafaya is the large unincorporated area of east Orange County south of State Road 50, centered about 9 miles east of downtown Orlando. The 2020 census counted 92,452 people in 31,847 households, which makes it bigger than most cities in Central Florida. It takes in the neighborhoods around the University of Central Florida, plus Avalon Park and Waterford Lakes.

That mix means two very different kinds of moves. Around UCF, which reported 70,674 students in fall 2025, many moves are apartments and shared units that turn over at lease end. A few miles south, Waterford Lakes and Avalon Park are full of family homes with HOA rules. We plan each one differently.

ZIP codes: Most Alafaya addresses use Orlando ZIP codes. Tell us yours when you call.

Apartment moves around UCF

UCF’s main campus sits on land along Alafaya Trail that the state bought in 1964, and the apartments built around it since then range from garden-style walk-ups to mid-rise buildings with elevators. Before your move, ask the leasing office three things: what hours you can move, whether you need to book the elevator or loading area, and whether they need a certificate of insurance. Send us the answers and we schedule inside them. See apartment and condo moving.

Between leases? We move your belongings into a storage unit you rent, and back out when you’re ready. We don’t run our own storage facility.

Family homes in Waterford Lakes and Avalon Park

South of SR 50, moves are bigger: full houses, garages and kids’ rooms. Our crews wrap furniture in pads, take apart and rebuild beds and tables, and protect floors and door frames. If you are moving a parent into a smaller home, our senior moving team takes extra time.

Alafaya to Oviedo, Lake Nona and beyond

Oviedo is just north across the county line, Winter Park is west on University Boulevard, and Lake Nona is south by SR 417. Our East Orlando movers page covers the rest of the east side. For moves across Florida we give a flat-rate written quote.

Moving in Avalon Park

Avalon Park covers about 1,860 acres east of Alafaya Trail and south of SR 50. It was planned on New Urbanism lines, like Celebration and Baldwin Park, with villages set around a walkable Town Center. That mix means one Avalon Park move can look nothing like the next: a condo or apartment over shops near the Town Center, a townhome on a narrow street with rear-alley garages, or a single-family home in one of the outer villages.

For Town Center condos and apartments, ask your building or management office about move hours, elevator or loading-area booking, and whether they need a certificate of insurance. For townhomes and homes, check where your HOA allows a moving truck to park, since streets in a walkable neighborhood are narrow. Tell us if the front door or the garage off the alley is the easier way in. Families moving for school often time the move to the school calendar. Avalon Park is zoned for Timber Creek High School, so book early if you are aiming for the weeks before school starts.
