Lafayette grew from an 1888 coal town into a Boulder County city of about 30,000 people, with cottages in Old Town and newer homes around Indian Peaks and Waneka Lake. Spyder Moving and Storage handles home, townhome and apartment moves across the city. Our movers in Lafayette CO drive in from our Denver base at 4777 Leyden St, roughly 25 miles away.

What Should You Know Before Hiring Movers in Lafayette CO?
Lafayette’s housing ranges from small mining-era homes to large newer builds. That range changes how each move is planned. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median home value is $686,500, and about one in three households rents. As a result, our crews handle both apartment move-outs and full family homes here.
- Old Town cottages: Narrow doorways and tight hallways mean furniture is wrapped and measured before it moves.
- Split-levels in north Lafayette: Short stair runs between levels add carry time, so we plan crew size around them.
- Newer neighborhoods: Many have HOA rules on truck parking and move hours, so check them before moving day.
Lafayette Neighborhoods and What They Mean for Moving Day
Each part of Lafayette needs a slightly different plan. For example, Old Town streets sit close together, so the truck often parks on the street. In contrast, Indian Peaks wraps around the golf course, with longer driveways and larger homes. Waneka Landing, Anna’s Farm and Beacon Hill mix townhomes with single-family houses.
Centaurus High School and Angevine Middle School belong to Boulder Valley School District, which also serves the rest of Lafayette. So if you are moving with kids, schedule the move around the BVSD calendar.
Local Movers in Lafayette CO for Homes and Apartments
Our residential moving crews pack, load and place furniture room by room. In addition, they disassemble beds and tables and reassemble them at the new address. For short hops to Louisville, Erie or Superior, the whole move usually fits into one day.
Many Lafayette moves also start or end next door. If you are heading south toward the US 36 corridor, our movers in Broomfield handle that side of the move the same way.
Do You Need a Permit for a POD or Dumpster in Lafayette?
Yes, if it sits in the street. The City of Lafayette requires a right-of-way permit for storage containers and dumpsters placed in the public right-of-way. Therefore, apply through the city portal before your container arrives. A moving truck that loads and leaves the same day does not use a container, but HOA parking rules still apply.
Moving Companies in Lafayette CO for Long-Distance Moves
Lafayette sits about 13 miles from Denver along US 287 and about 11 miles from Boulder via Baseline Road. Because of that location, many residents move out of state or across Colorado for work. Our long-distance moving services cover packing, a written inventory and a set delivery window.
If your new home isn’t ready yet, short-term storage holds your furniture until closing day. That way, you avoid paying for two moves.
