Reverse: St. Paul → Lakewood

Moving from Lakewood to St. Paul is a long-distance move of roughly 840 road miles, heading northeast from Colorado to Minnesota.

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 $4,460 to $6,630 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 15 h 11 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 1,099 around St. Paul (499 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 St. Paul.

Lakewood has a population of about 156,927 and St. Paul about 306,684. St. Paul is the denser city (5,991 people per square mile versus 3,586 in Lakewood), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Lakewood to St. Paul?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,780 to $2,650 for a studio, $2,670 to $3,980 for a one-bedroom, $4,460 to $6,630 for a two-bedroom, $7,130 to $10,610 for a three-bedroom and $9,810 to $14,590 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is St. Paul from Lakewood?

About 840 road miles (712 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 h 11 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Colorado into Minnesota makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Lakewood to St. Paul?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,160 to $1,640 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,770 to $2,600. 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 Lakewood–St. Paul corridor.
