What a move within Overland Park costs depends on how much you own, how easy your homes are to load and unload, how far you are going, and the size of the crew. The smoothest and most efficient moves happen with everything packed and the furniture taken apart before the crew arrives.
Professional Moving & Storage has an office on Bourgade Street in Lenexa, a few minutes from Overland Park, and a second office in Lawrence. We have been moving Kansas households for over 20 years, operate under USDOT 917983 and MC 397078, and serve as an agent for National Van Lines on long distance moves. Here is what pushes the price up and how to plan an Overland Park move.
Overland Park Moving Costs by Home Size
A studio apartment and a five-bedroom house are very different jobs. The more you own, the more time and the bigger the crew the move takes. Our free video quote gives you an estimate with no in-home visit needed.
Access at both homes and the distance matter too. For a nearby comparison, see our guide to Lenexa moving costs.
How the Price Is Set
Long Distance Moves
Long distance and out-of-state moves need an inventory of your home, in person or by video.
Crew Size
A larger crew finishes faster. For a three or four-bedroom home, a four-person crew is usually the better value.
Pro Tip From Our Crew
Ask each mover what crew size they plan to send and how many hours they expect. Those two numbers explain most of the difference between quotes.
What Affects the Cost in Overland Park
Larger Suburban Homes
Overland Park has plenty of three and four-bedroom houses with finished basements and two or three-car garages. That is more volume than a typical apartment move, and finished basements add stairs.
Homeowner Associations
Many subdivisions in south Overland Park have association rules. Some limit moving hours, how long a truck or portable container can sit in a driveway or on the street, or where a truck can park. Check before you set a date.
Apartments and Townhomes
Apartment complexes along the College Boulevard corridor and near Metcalf Avenue often have stairs, long walks from the parking lot, or building rules for move-in times. Our guide to Overland Park office moves covers commercial buildings in the same area.
Traffic
I-435 and US-69 are busy at rush hour. A mid-morning start after the commute usually means less time on the road.
Date
May through September and the last few days of each month are the busiest times to move, so book early. Professional Moving & Storage does not work Sundays.
Weather
Kansas summers are hot and spring storms are common. Winter brings occasional ice. Our guide to moving in bad weather covers planning around it.
Extras to Budget For
| Extra | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Stairs | More time on move day |
| Packing | Full-service or fragile-only packing |
| Piano | Tell us the piano type and any stairs |
| Storage | Ask for a quote on the unit size you need |
If your new home is not ready on move day, storage bridges the gap. Our article on long-term storage in Lenexa covers how it works.
Moves Within Johnson County
Most Overland Park moves stay close to home. Common routes include Overland Park to Olathe, Lenexa, Leawood, Shawnee, and Prairie Village.
| Route | Typical drive | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Overland Park to Lenexa | 10 to 20 minutes | Near our Lenexa office |
| Overland Park to Olathe | 15 to 25 minutes | Newer subdivisions, HOA rules common |
| Overland Park to Leawood | 10 to 15 minutes | Large homes, more volume |
| Overland Park to Shawnee | 15 to 25 minutes | Mix of older and newer homes |
| Overland Park to Lawrence | 35 to 50 minutes | Via K-10, a toll-free route |
All of these are local moves. The shorter the drive, the more the total depends on how quickly the crew can load and unload, which comes back to packing and access.

Checking a Mover
Kansas intrastate movers file tariffs with the Kansas Corporation Commission, and the KCC's household goods tariff list shows each carrier with its MCID or DOT number. Confirm any mover is on it.
Many Overland Park moves cross into Missouri. Those are interstate moves and fall under federal rules, so the mover needs a USDOT number and interstate authority. Our Kansas City move guide explains how those rules work.
Ways to Lower the Cost
- Move off-peak. October through April.
- Avoid month-end.
- Sort the garage and basement early. Donate or sell before the estimate.
- Pack before the crew arrives. Our packing guide helps.
- Take furniture apart.
- Check association rules so the truck can park in the driveway.
Pro Tip From Our Crew
Book about a month ahead for a summer move. In winter, a few weeks is usually enough. For a long distance move, allow a month and a half to two months.
