Edgewater Movers: Local Moving Company Serving Edgewater and Sloan's Lake
Edgewater is one of Jefferson County's best-kept secrets — a small, walkable city with its own identity tucked between Denver and Lakewood along the south shore of Sloan's Lake. The housing stock is a mix of 1940s and 1950s bungalows, newer townhome developments along 25th Avenue, and denser apartment buildings that have come up as the neighborhood has grown. If you're moving into or out of Edgewater, this guide covers what you need to know.
What Makes Edgewater Moves Different
Edgewater is compact — just over one square mile — but the variety of housing types means the logistics change block by block. The older bungalows along 20th and 22nd Avenues have character and charm, and they have the doorframe widths to match their era. Many run under 32 inches, which matters when you're trying to get a king bed frame or a large sectional through the front door.
The streets nearest Sloan's Lake — particularly those facing the park along Sheridan Boulevard and the surrounding blocks — have limited street parking on busy weekend days. If your move falls on a Saturday in summer, parking a full-size moving truck near the lake requires a plan.
The newer townhome developments and apartment buildings in Edgewater — especially those built in the last decade along the Colfax corridor and near the Edgewater Public Market — tend to have better access, more predictable parking, and in some cases COI requirements from property management. The older residential streets don't usually require a COI, but it's worth confirming with your building or landlord.
Moving Near Sloan's Lake — Timing and Parking
Sloan's Lake is one of Denver's most popular parks, and the streets around it are busy on any warm weekend. If your Edgewater move is in spring or summer, weekday mornings are the easiest time to get a moving truck staged near the lake.
If a weekend move is unavoidable, talk to your moving company about the parking situation ahead of time. Headband Movers can assess the street access for your specific address and identify whether a long-carry from a secondary parking spot is the right approach, or whether a smaller truck is a better fit for the block.
One thing that helps: confirm whether your property has alley access. A number of Edgewater's older bungalows back up to paved alleys, and rear access through the alley is sometimes faster and easier than the front of the house — especially for tight bungalow front doors.
Older Homes in Edgewater — What to Measure Before Move Day
Edgewater's bungalows are beautiful, and they're built to a standard that predates oversized furniture by several decades. Before move day, take measurements on:
• Front door width — bungalow front doors frequently run 28–32 inches
• Hallway width at the narrowest point between the entry and the main rooms
• Stairwell width and turn radius if bedrooms are upstairs
• Any interior doorway the crew will need to navigate with large furniture
If you have a sectional, a California King, an oversized dresser, or a large armoire, those measurements matter. Headband Movers measures before we try — we don't force furniture through doorways and discover the problem after the fact. What can be disassembled, we disassemble. What genuinely won't fit, we tell you up front.
Edgewater to Denver and the Surrounding Metro
Edgewater sits right on the Jefferson County and Denver County line. Moves between Edgewater and Denver, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, and the broader Metro are all local moves. The same transparent pricing applies — no cross-county surcharges, no extra fees for crossing city lines.
The most common Edgewater move corridors we run: Edgewater to the Highlands or LoHi (a quick shot east on Colfax), Edgewater to Lakewood (west on 6th Avenue), and Edgewater into the broader Sloan's Lake neighborhood on the Denver side of Sheridan. All local, all on the same pricing structure.

What Customers Near Sloan's Lake Say
"We were moving out of a 1950s bungalow in Edgewater — narrow doors, tight hallway, the works. The Headband crew measured the couch opening before they tried anything, figured out the right angle, and got it out without a scratch. These guys know old Denver homes." — Google review, Edgewater
"Moved from Edgewater to the Highlands. They knew exactly where to park on our street near the lake, got set up fast, and finished in about 3 hours. Transparent pricing, no surprises." — Google review, Edgewater to Highlands
