Moving from Lakewood to Pasadena is a long-distance move of roughly 960 road miles, heading southwest from Colorado to California.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $5,270 to $7,840 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 17 h 15 min.
On the Lakewood side there are 1,122 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (405 of them authorized for interstate work), and 822 around Pasadena (337 interstate). For an interstate 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 Pasadena.
Lakewood has a population of about 156,927 and Pasadena about 135,804. Pasadena is the denser city (6,030 people per square mile versus 3,586 in Lakewood), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Colorado, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
