Moving from Colorado Springs to Lakewood is a short-haul move of roughly 71 road miles, heading north within Colorado.

Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 55 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,460 and $2,170, before packing or storage.

On the Colorado Springs side there are 247 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (70 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,122 around Lakewood (405 interstate). For an in-state move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Lakewood.

Colorado Springs has a population of about 494,743 and Lakewood about 156,927. Lakewood is the denser city (3,586 people per square mile versus 2,451 in Colorado Springs), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Tips for this move

For a move under about 150 miles you can often choose between an hourly and a flat rate—ask for both.
Confirm whether travel time between Colorado Springs and Lakewood is billed one way or round trip.
A single-day move is realistic here; schedule loading in the morning so the crew arrives in Lakewood with daylight to spare.
Check Colorado intrastate mover rules; many states require a state permit in addition to a USDOT number.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Colorado Springs to Lakewood?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $820 to $1,220 for a studio, $930 to $1,390 for a one-bedroom, $1,460 to $2,170 for a two-bedroom, $2,200 to $3,280 for a three-bedroom and $3,220 to $4,790 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lakewood from Colorado Springs?

About 71 road miles (61 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 55 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Colorado Springs and Lakewood are in Colorado, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Colorado Springs to Lakewood?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $220 to $310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,590. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Colorado Springs–Lakewood corridor.
