Local movers for Lakeland, halfway to Tampa
Lakeland is the largest city in Polk County, about halfway between Orlando and Tampa on I-4. The city is built around dozens of lakes. Downtown sits between Lake Mirror and Munn Park, Lake Morton is known for its swans, and the path around Lake Hollingsworth is a local favorite. Florida Southern College, on Lake Hollingsworth, has a large group of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, and Southeastern University is also in Lakeland.
Lakeland moves vary a lot by neighborhood. Historic districts near downtown, such as South Lake Morton and Dixieland, have older homes with porches, steps and narrow streets. North Lakeland along I-4 and US 98, and south Lakeland toward the Polk Parkway and Lakeland Highlands, have newer subdivisions and apartment communities. As movers in Lakeland, we plan each one differently.
Drive time from our Orlando office: About 51 miles, roughly 65 minutes without traffic. Allow more time at rush hour on I-4. Your quote includes the real drive time for your addresses.

Local know-how
Historic districts, college apartments and a long I-4 run
Here is what we plan for on Lakeland moves.
Historic homes
Older homes near Lake Morton and in Dixieland often have porch steps, narrow halls and old wood floors. We protect floors and frames and check where the truck can park.
College-area apartments
Apartments near Florida Southern and Southeastern often turn over around the school year. Book early for May and August.
The I-4 drive
Lakeland is about an hour from our office, and I-4 through Polk County gets heavy at rush hour. Your quote includes the real drive time.
Apartment movers in Lakeland
Many Lakeland apartment communities set move hours and ask for a certificate of insurance. Send us the rules and we'll handle the paperwork before move day. See apartment and condo moving and student moving.

Winter Haven is east of Lakeland, past Auburndale, by the Polk Parkway or US 92. Bartow, the county seat, is to the southeast. Moves into Orlando run east on I-4 past Davenport.
