Reverse: Lakewood → Menifee

Moving from Menifee to Lakewood is a long-distance move of roughly 927 road miles, heading northeast from California to Colorado.

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 $5,170 to $7,700 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 16 h 41 min.

On the Menifee side there are 250 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (139 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,122 around Lakewood (405 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 Lakewood.

Menifee has a population of about 118,592 and Lakewood about 156,927. Lakewood is the denser city (3,586 people per square mile versus 2,205 in Menifee), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Colorado than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Menifee to Lakewood?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,070 to $3,080 for a studio, $3,100 to $4,620 for a one-bedroom, $5,170 to $7,700 for a two-bedroom, $8,280 to $12,320 for a three-bedroom and $11,380 to $16,940 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lakewood from Menifee?

About 927 road miles (786 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 16 h 41 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 California into Colorado 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 Menifee to Lakewood?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,400 to $1,980 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,850 to $2,720. 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 Menifee–Lakewood corridor.
