The San Antonio & Hill Country → Allen corridor
The San Antonio-to-Allen haul climbs the full length of Interstate 35 up the center of Texas and then swings east and north into Collin County — roughly 305 miles from the Alamo City to Allen's exits off US-75. San Antonio loads pick up I-35 North near downtown, while the Hill Country moves RiverHills runs every week feed in from the west first: a Kerrville or Comfort crew rolls east on I-10 to gather Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch before merging onto I-35 in San Antonio, and a Fredericksburg pickup can slip across US-290 to Austin and join the interstate there. From that point it is one road north. The corridor passes New Braunfels and San Marcos, grinds through Austin's Round Rock and Georgetown suburbs, then rolls on past Salado, Belton, Temple, and Waco to the fork at Hillsboro. There you bear onto I-35E toward Dallas, drop through Waxahachie into the metroplex, and hand off to US-75 (Central Expressway), driving its full northern run through Richardson and Plano before reaching Allen at the Bethany Drive, Main Street, McDermott, and Stacy Road exits.
Geographically the trip trades the limestone ridges and cedar slopes of the Balcones Escarpment for the flat, black-clay Blackland Prairie that Allen sits on. Two chokepoints define the timing — the notorious I-35 crawl through central Austin and, because Allen is at the far north end of Central Expressway, the entire length of US-75 through Richardson and Plano's rush-hour crush — so honest door-to-door time with a loaded truck runs about five to five-and-a-half hours once stops are counted, a touch longer than the Plano or Dallas legs because you carry on further up 75. RiverHills runs this as a dedicated, direct haul with no interlining: one Jackson Williams-led crew loads in San Antonio or the Hill Country, drives the whole corridor in its own clean, padded truck, and unloads in Allen with every piece blanket-wrapped for the ride. Because Boerne, Comfort, Kerrville, and San Antonio all pour onto the same interstate, a search for "Kerrville to Allen" or "Boerne to Allen" lands on this very route — one lane of travel with a handful of on-ramps.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Allen.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Allen, TX
Allen sits in southern Collin County, wedged between Plano to the south and McKinney to the north, a fast-grown suburb of roughly 110,000 that rebranded itself over three decades from a sleepy railroad stop into one of the metroplex's most sought-after family addresses. Its economy leans more residential and retail than the corporate-headquarters density of neighboring Plano. The credit bureau Experian anchors a large campus at Watters Creek, Jack Henry & Associates and other tech and financial-services firms keep offices in town, and the Allen Economic Development Corporation has courted data-center and corporate investment — but a large share of residents commute a few minutes down US-75 to Plano's Legacy corridor, Richardson's Telecom Corridor, and Frisco. Retail is a genuine economic engine here: Allen Premium Outlets is one of the largest outlet centers in North Texas, and Watters Creek at Montgomery Farm and The Village at Allen add upscale open-air shopping, dining, and the Credit Union of Texas Event Center, home of the ECHL's Allen Americans hockey club.
What really sets Allen apart is its schools and its Friday nights. Allen ISD is a rare single-high-school district — nearly every teenager in the city attends the same enormous Allen High School — and the community's identity runs through Eagle football, played in the 18,000-seat Eagle Stadium that opened in 2012 as one of the largest and priciest high school stadiums in the country. Family life centers on that shared civic pride and on an unusually deep park system: Celebration Park, Bethany Lakes Park, the Stephen G. Terrell Recreation Center, and the 72-acre Connemara Meadow Nature Preserve, a restored patch of native Blackland prairie. History buffs can find the marker where the Sam Bass gang pulled off Texas's first train robbery at Allen Station in 1878. One honest note for anyone comparing Allen to Plano or Richardson: Allen is not a DART member city, so there is no light-rail line — the city runs on US-75 and the Sam Rayburn Tollway, and most households plan on driving.
On cost of living, families coming from San Antonio should set expectations plainly. Both cities enjoy Texas's no-state-income-tax advantage, but Collin County home prices and property-tax rates sit well above San Antonio's, and Allen's newer master-planned neighborhoods command a premium. Within Collin County, though, Allen often reads as the relative value — buyers frequently get more house and the same top-rated schools for less than they would pay in adjacent Frisco or west Plano. The trade most relocating families weigh is a higher housing and tax bill against a shorter commute to North Texas's best-paying employers and a school district with a genuinely national reputation.

- check_circleAllen ISD and its single-high-school model: nationally recognized academics and a district where the entire city rallies around one Allen High School and Eagle Stadium football make it the leading draw for relocating families.
- check_circleRelative value inside Collin County: Allen's master-planned neighborhoods often deliver more square footage and the same elite schools for less than neighboring Frisco or west Plano, compelling math for families trading up from San Antonio.
- check_circleA short commute to North Texas's best employers: a quick run down US-75 puts Plano's Legacy corporate corridor, Richardson's Telecom Corridor, and Frisco within easy reach, while Experian and other firms employ residents in town.

How a San Antonio-area to Allen move is quoted + timed
Every move is estimated for the specific shipment — no published rate card. These are the details RiverHills reviews before discussing price and schedule.
Weather & timing for your Allen move
Allen shares the North Texas Blackland Prairie climate, which swings harder at both ends of the calendar than San Antonio's. Summers are genuinely hot — July and August afternoons routinely reach the upper 90s and push past 100 — so a mid-summer load means guarding heat-sensitive belongings on a long haul north. The sharper contrast with the Hill Country is winter: North Texas catches real cold snaps, and ice, sleet, and freezing rain between December and February can scrub a move day outright, since Allen's flat, open prairie streets glaze over fast. Spring, from about March into May, is the region's severe-weather stretch, delivering thunderstorms, large hail, and the occasional tornado watch across Collin County. The most dependable windows for moving into Allen are October and November, when the air turns mild and dry and storm risk drops, with a secondary opening in April as long as you keep an eye on the hail outlook.

How far is San Antonio to Allen, and how long does the move take? expand_more
It is about 305 miles up I-35 North, then I-35E toward Dallas and north into Allen on US-75 (Central Expressway). Honest door-to-door drive time with a loaded truck is roughly five to five-and-a-half hours, depending on I-35 congestion through Austin and the run up Central Expressway through Richardson and Plano. It is a touch longer than the Plano or Dallas legs because Allen sits farther north on US-75. Hill Country pickups in Boerne, Comfort, or Kerrville add the short I-10 leg into San Antonio first.
Do you also handle Boerne, Kerrville, or Fredericksburg to Allen? expand_more
Yes. RiverHills is based in the Texas Hill Country and serves this entire corridor. A Kerrville or Comfort crew gathers Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch on I-10 into San Antonio, a Fredericksburg load can join I-35 by way of Austin, and from there it is the same road north to Allen. It is one crew, one truck, and no interlining, whether your pickup is in San Antonio or the Hill Country.
Is RiverHills properly licensed for a San Antonio to Allen move? expand_more
Yes. A San Antonio-to-Allen move stays entirely inside Texas, so it is an intrastate move regulated by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles under RiverHills' TxDMV number 009770506C. RiverHills is also a genuine federally authorized interstate household-goods carrier, holding USDOT 3561425 and MC-1196218, so the same company can handle a future out-of-state move directly, without brokering it out.
Can RiverHills store my belongings if my Allen home is not ready? expand_more
Yes. If your Collin County closing or lease start does not line up with your move-out day, RiverHills offers storage-in-transit, keeping your goods clean, padded, and blanket-wrapped in secure storage until your Allen place is ready, then completing delivery on a scheduled day.
