The San Antonio & Hill Country → Allentown corridor
Your move from San Antonio to Allentown covers roughly 1,720 miles, and RiverHills Moving runs the whole thing on our own truck with our own crew — no interlining, no broker handoff, no swapping your belongings between trucks at a warehouse halfway there. We roll out of the Alamo City on I-10 East, tracing the Gulf Coast plain through Houston and Beaumont before angling northeast across the Deep South. From there the route feeds into the I-95 corridor, climbing the mid-Atlantic through Richmond, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, then breaks northwest off I-95 near Philadelphia and picks up I-78, which carries you straight into the Lehigh Valley and drops you at Allentown's doorstep.
The terrain changes dramatically along the way — from the flat, humid coastal plain of southeast Texas, up through the rolling Piedmont, and into the ridge-and-valley Appalachian country that frames the Lehigh Valley. Expect a typical transit of three to four days depending on load size and weather windows. Because Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg households funnel onto that same I-10-to-I-95-to-I-78 line, we handle "Boerne to Allentown" and "Kerrville to Allentown" moves on an identical schedule — the same long-distance movers, the same padded, blanket-wrapped truck, from a Hill Country driveway to a Lehigh Valley front door.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Allentown.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Allentown, PA
Allentown is Pennsylvania's third-largest city and the anchor of the Lehigh Valley, and it wears its history on its streets. If you're landing in the Old Allentown Historic District, plan for tight Victorian rowhome blocks, one-way streets, and permit-only curb parking with no driveways — our crew scouts these in advance and brings a smaller shuttle when the full-size truck can't nose in. The leafy West End around the theatre district is full of century-old twins and singles with narrow staircases and third-floor walk-ups, the kind of carry our movers plan padding and hoisting for before the ramp ever comes down. Down in Center City, the NIZ (Neighborhood Improvement Zone) has lined Hamilton Street with new lofts and high-rises around the PPL Center arena, where we reserve freight elevators and hand the building a certificate of insurance ahead of move-in day. South toward Mountainville and South Mountain the streets pitch and climb, so we position the truck for the grade rather than fight it.
The economy that pulls people here is steady and diverse. PPL Corporation is headquartered downtown, Air Products anchors the Trexlertown and Upper Macungie side, and Lehigh Valley Health Network and St. Luke's University Health Network together employ tens of thousands across the region. The I-78/I-476 crossroads has made the valley one of the East Coast's biggest logistics and distribution hubs, and colleges like Muhlenberg, Cedar Crest, DeSales, and nearby Lehigh University keep the area young and busy. Off the clock there's Coca-Cola Park for IronPigs baseball, Dorney Park, and the Lehigh Parkway and Cedar Beach trails, all wrapped in a genuine four-season calendar.
On space and cost, Allentown reads differently than San Antonio. Texas households are used to sprawling single-story ranches, three-car garages, and slab foundations; Lehigh Valley homes tend toward tighter lots, attached twins and rowhomes, full basements, and finished attics — which changes both what you keep and how it gets carried. Newer master-planned communities out toward Trexlertown and Lower Macungie offer the wider streets and easier truck access that feel more like a San Antonio suburb, while the historic core trades square footage for walkable charm. We'll help you right-size the load before we ever leave the Hill Country.

How a San Antonio-area to Allentown 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 Allentown move
Allentown sits in a humid continental zone with four distinct seasons, a real change from South Texas. Summers are warm and humid but noticeably milder than San Antonio; winters bring genuine cold, snow, ice, and the occasional Nor'easter, with January and February the harshest stretch. Autumn is the region's showpiece, while spring can run wet and muddy. The easiest window to move is late spring through early fall — roughly May through October — when the roads along the corridor stay clear and Lehigh Valley streets and driveways aren't iced over. Our trucks are not climate-controlled; they're clean and padded, and everything is blanket-wrapped and pad-protected for the haul. We time departures to dodge both San Antonio's summer extremes and Pennsylvania's winter storms.

I used Riverhills Moving twice for my long distance move to Arkansas. Jackson and his team are top-notch, friendly, polite, and really know how to pack the truck. I was very pleased each time they helped me. Anthony did my move the second time, and it went great! A very nice person. Would definitely recommend this company for your moving needs.

How long does a San Antonio to Allentown move take? expand_more
The route runs about 1,720 miles, down I-10 out of Texas and up the I-95-to-I-78 corridor, and transit is typically three to four days depending on your load size and weather along the way. We give you a firm delivery window before we leave the Hill Country.
Do you drive the whole way yourselves, or hand my things off to another company? expand_more
One RiverHills crew and one truck handle your move door to door — no interlining, no broker handoff, and no transferring your belongings between trucks at a warehouse. The same people who load you in San Antonio are the ones who unload you in Allentown.
Do you also move from Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg to Allentown? expand_more
Yes. Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg households share this exact corridor, so we run 'Boerne to Allentown' and 'Kerrville to Allentown' moves on the same schedule and the same truck as our San Antonio moves.
Can you handle Allentown's narrow historic streets and downtown high-rises? expand_more
Absolutely. For the Old Allentown and West End rowhome blocks we scout access ahead of time and bring a shuttle when the big truck can't fit, and for Center City lofts near PPL Center we reserve the freight elevator and provide the building's required certificate of insurance.
