Fast, Reliable Moving & Storage Across Three Lakes

We’re Milestone Moving Co., and we’ve been moving families through Miami-Dade’s Kendall corridor since 2006. Our crews know the gated communities off SW 152nd Street and Coral Reef Drive, the 20-foot truck limits, and the afternoon storms that roll through ZIP 33186 without warning. If you’re planning a move in Three Lakes, call us at (855) 890-3455 for a binding written quote after a real in-home or video survey.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Three Lakes’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve moved hundreds of households through Three Lakes’s master-planned subdivisions over our 20 years in South Florida. The townhome complexes here aren’t like the open subdivisions in Kendale Lakes or The Hammocks. Most are gated, HOA-governed, and built in the 1970s through 1990s with internal roads designed for passenger cars, not 26-foot moving trucks.
Our reputation in Three Lakes is built on pre-move coordination that other companies skip. We call the community manager before we dispatch. We confirm truck size restrictions. We build the two-stage relay into the quote from day one, so the number doesn’t move on move day. That’s the Move-Right Guarantee.
Our response time to Three Lakes is same-day for estimates and next-day for most local moves. We garage our branded trucks in Miami, FL, so we’re not driving down from Broward County when you need us. Live support answers every call, 24/7, at (855) 890-3455.
Three Lakes customers consistently mention our crew’s uniformity and accountability in reviews. Background-checked movers on our own payroll, in Milestone shirts, with one crew from start to finish. No day labor sourced from a text message. No strangers at your door.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Three Lakes
Storage-in-Transit
Storage-in-Transit is what saves Three Lakes moves when closing dates don’t line up. Your belongings load once, store in our secured warehouse, and deliver when your new townhome or single-family home is ready. In Three Lakes, this matters more than most places because HOA move-in windows are often restricted to specific days or hours, and you can’t always coordinate buyer closing with seller closing on the same timeline. Our Storage-in-Transit keeps everything under one roof, one contract, one accountability chain. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to storage loads just like direct moves.
Short-Term Storage
Short-term storage in Three Lakes fills the gap between listing your townhome and finding your next place. Many sellers here stage their late-1970s through 1990s-era homes to compete in Miami-Dade’s market, which means clearing out sectional furniture that won’t fit through tight interior staircases anyway. We store it for 30 to 90 days, then deliver to your new address with the same crew that packed it. Monthly rates run $90-$400 depending on volume.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Three Lakes’s humidity isn’t seasonal. It’s year-round, and it spikes during June through September when afternoon downpours can arrive within 20 minutes of clear skies. Climate-controlled storage keeps your items at stable temperature and humidity, which matters for leather furniture, electronics, musical instruments, and anything with adhesive or wood glue. In a market where townhomes often lack garage space and shared driveways limit what you can keep on-site, off-site climate control isn’t an extra. It’s baseline protection.
Long-Term Storage
Some Three Lakes residents need storage that stretches past a season. Snowbirds who rent out their townhomes while away. Adult children holding family furniture between moves. Estate situations where the probate timeline doesn’t match the real estate timeline. Our long-term storage in Three Lakes is month-to-month with no long-term contract, fully inventoried, and accessible by appointment. Everything we store is covered under our full-value protection while in our care.

Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Three Lakes Homes
- Underestimating the two-stage process for gated communities. Many first-time movers in Three Lakes don’t realize their HOA prohibits trucks over 20 feet on internal roads. The relay from gate to door adds labor hours that flat-rate quotes from out-of-town companies never account for. We build it into the binding quote from the start.
- Not pre-clearing truck access with community managers. Denied entry at the gate means rescheduling, overtime for the crew, and a domino effect on your closing timeline. We handle the pre-clearance call as standard practice for every Three Lakes move.
- Assuming sunny skies hold during summer moves. Miami-Dade’s afternoon downpours strike fast. Unprotected furniture on an open truck bed or a driveway without cover can be soaked in minutes. Our crews stage shrink wrap and waterproof pads throughout the day, not just at load-in.
- Tight staircases in older townhomes. The dominant housing stock in Three Lakes, late-1970s through 1990s construction, features narrow interior staircases and low overhangs that complicate removal of large sectionals and appliances. We survey for this during the estimate and bring the right equipment.

FAQs - Moving & Storage in Three Lakes
Yes, and you should do it at least two weeks before your move date. Most Three Lakes HOAs require advance notice to issue truck permits, reserve elevator time if applicable, and confirm loading window restrictions. We handle this coordination as part of our standard pre-move process, but the homeowner must initiate the HOA contact. Call (855) 890-3455 and we’ll walk you through the specific questions to ask your community manager.
We stage a smaller vehicle at the community entrance and relay your items in two stages. This is standard practice in many Three Lakes townhome complexes off SW 152nd Street and Coral Reef Drive, where internal loop roads restrict trucks to 20 feet. On a job at a townhome off Coral Reef Drive, our crew arrived to find the community’s internal loop restricted to 20-foot trucks. We staged our box truck at the entrance and used a smaller van to relay items, adding about two hours to the move. The homeowner hadn’t budgeted for the extra labor, but our pre-move coordination with the HOA made it go smoothly. We build this into your binding quote so there are no surprises.
Yes, for anything you want to preserve beyond a few weeks. Three Lakes’s humidity stays high year-round and spikes during summer afternoon storms. Wood warps, leather molds, electronics corrode, and adhesives fail in uncontrolled conditions. Climate-controlled storage at $90-$400 monthly is baseline protection, not a luxury, in this market. Call for a free inventory review and we’ll size the right unit.
Yes, and we do it routinely from June through September. Our crews work with shrink wrap and waterproof pads staged and ready throughout the day, because Miami-Dade’s afternoon downpours can arrive within 20 minutes of clear sky. We also monitor radar and can adjust load timing when possible. The key is preparation, not avoidance. Call (855) 890-3455 to book your rainy-season move with a crew that knows the local weather patterns.
Book four to six weeks ahead for peak season (May through August) and two to three weeks for off-peak. Three Lakes’s gated communities add a coordination layer that benefits from extra lead time. HOA approvals, elevator reservations, and the two-stage relay planning all take longer than an open-subdivision move. Earlier booking also locks your preferred date and gives us time to conduct the in-person or video survey that produces your binding quote. Call (855) 890-3455 to check availability and schedule your free estimate.
