Richmond sits about 49 miles north of Mountain View, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a local move.
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 32 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,560 and $2,320, before packing or storage.
On the Mountain View side there are 308 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (87 of them authorized for interstate work), and 252 around Richmond (86 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 Richmond.
Mountain View has a population of about 82,000 and Richmond about 114,861. Mountain View is considerably denser (6,889 people per square mile versus 3,869), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.
