Kingman, Arizona
Kingman sits at the crossroads of I-40, US-93, and Historic Route 66 at 3,300 ft elevation - a high-desert city where summer heat tops 105°F and rural roads demand experienced crews. Star Van Lines (USDOT 4176875, FMCSA-registered) handles local moves from $99-$199/hr and long-distance relocations starting at $1,762. From Golden Valley's unpaved driveways to Valle Vista's HOA community, we know Kingman's terrain.
Dennis has 15+ years of experience in interstate moving and has coordinated over 1,000 relocations across the United States.
Few Arizona cities can claim three major highways and a legendary road - and Kingman's position at the junction of I-40, US-93, and Historic Route 66 at 3,300 ft elevation is a big part of why people keep moving here. The median home cost was $221,400 in 2022, well below Arizona's $349,300 and the national $291,700 average. That affordability, combined with jobs at Kingman Regional Medical Center, Mohave County government, and distribution companies along the I-40 corridor, draws a steady stream of newcomers every year. Star Van Lines - FMCSA-registered under USDOT #4176875 and MC #1607491 - has been moving families into and out of Kingman since 2016. We've earned 240+ verified reviews across our service area. Local moves run $99-$199/hr; long-distance relocations start with a binding estimate so you know your cost before the truck rolls. Whether you're coming from Las Vegas, heading to Phoenix, or relocating across the country, we know the route.
Local Moving in Kingman
Local moves in Kingman run $99-$199/hr depending on crew size and truck configuration. A studio or one-bedroom typically wraps in two to four hours. A three-bedroom home can run six to eight hours or more, especially when rural access is involved. And Kingman's terrain adds real variables. Golden Valley's dirt and gravel driveways can turn soft after monsoon rains, so we'll confirm road conditions before dispatch and arrange a shuttle vehicle if a full-size truck can't reach your door. Valle Vista's HOA requires compliance with CC&Rs - we coordinate gate access and parking rules in advance. In the Downtown/Historic Route 66 corridor, older streets can be narrow; our crews use cones and spotters when parallel parking is the only option. Hualapai Foothills properties sometimes have sloped driveways, so we bring ramps and wheel chocks as standard equipment. Most of Kingman's housing stock is single-story, which keeps move times efficient. But we don't assume - we ask about your specific access before we show up.
Long-Distance Moving from Kingman
Long-distance moves out of Kingman are priced on a binding estimate, so you're not guessing at final cost. Two of our most common corridors: Chicago at 1,804 miles with a base price of $1,762, and Atlanta at 1,857 miles starting at $1,799. We cover all 50 states and stage freight through 43 warehouse locations nationwide, which gives us flexibility on routing and storage if your destination isn't ready on move-in day. Because Kingman sits between Las Vegas and Phoenix, we also handle a high volume of moves along those corridors in both directions. What drives your final cost? Inventory volume, access conditions at origin and destination, services like packing or crating, and whether you're moving during peak season all factor in. We'll walk through every line item on your quote call. No surprises on delivery day.

Learn More →Areas and Communities in Kingman
Kingman's housing stock is dominated by single-story homes, which simplifies most moves - but terrain, HOA rules, and road conditions vary considerably by area.
Rancho Santa Fe sits on the east side with larger, well-kept homes and a family-oriented feel. An HOA is likely present, though exact COI requirements aren't publicly listed. Call (855) 822-2722 for details about moving logistics there. Driveways and attached garages are standard; streets are wide enough for full-size moving trucks.
Hualapai Foothills / Hualapai Mountain Road corridor offers larger lots and custom homes at higher elevation. Some subdivisions have HOAs, others don't - confirm before arrival. The terrain is hillier than central Kingman, with some sloped driveways, but roads are paved and truck-friendly.
Downtown / Historic Route 66 corridor features older bungalows and low-rise buildings near Beale St. Most properties here have no HOA. Some streets are narrower, so trucks may need to parallel park or block a lane during loading. Plan for cones and spotters.
North Kingman / Kingman Crossing is popular with commuters and logistics workers because of easy I-40 access. Streets are designed for residential traffic with minimal access issues for standard moving trucks. Some subdivisions may have HOAs; call (855) 822-2722 for specifics.
Golden Valley, just west of Kingman, is unincorporated with larger lots, manufactured homes, and no HOA on most properties. Trucks have ample room to stage. The key watch-out: some roads are unpaved or washboard, and soft sand after rains can be a real problem. Verify road conditions before dispatch.
Valle Vista, a planned golf-course community roughly 15 miles northeast, requires HOA membership for all property owners. Parking is governed by HOA rules, and internal streets can be curvy with cul-de-sacs. Confirm truck size, parking restrictions, and any gate procedures well before move day.
Southwest Kingman (McVittie / Airway Ave area) has mostly no-HOA, affordable tract homes near the airport. Streets are open and truck access is easy, though watch for heavier commercial traffic near the industrial zones.
East Bench / Eastern Subdivisions are among Kingman's higher-value areas with modern paved streets and little grade. Some pockets may have HOAs or gated access - call (855) 822-2722 for details before scheduling.
Climate and Lifestyle
Kingman sits at 3,300 ft in a semi-arid high desert. Summers are hot and dry. Average highs run 95-100°F, with heat waves pushing past 105°F. If you're moving between June and August, schedule loading and unloading in early morning or late evening. Monsoon storms arrive July through September, bringing brief heavy rain and gusty winds that can flood washes and make unpaved roads in Golden Valley impassable - sometimes with little warning. Winters are mild with highs around 55-60°F, though lows can dip to 30-35°F with occasional light snow. Spring and fall are usually the most comfortable moving windows, with highs in the 65-85°F range and minimal precipitation. Because the elevation moderates overnight temperatures even in summer, early-morning moves are genuinely cooler than you might expect from a desert city.
Job Market and Major Employers
Kingman's economy centers on healthcare, transportation, and public services. Kingman Regional Medical Center (KRMC) is one of the largest employers in the area, with roles across nursing, administration, and support. Mohave County government - courts, sheriff, and public works - is headquartered here and employs a large public-sector workforce. The City of Kingman adds police, fire, and utilities jobs, while Kingman Unified School District accounts for a significant share of education employment. Distribution and warehousing companies along the I-40 corridor round out the local economy, drawing workers who value Kingman's position between Las Vegas and Phoenix. It's not a booming tech hub, but steady work and low housing costs make it a practical choice for a lot of households.
Cost of Living and Housing
Kingman's median home cost was $221,400 in 2022 - well below Arizona's $349,300 and the national figure of $291,700. That gap is one of the main reasons people relocate here from Phoenix or Las Vegas. City economic development data confirm that overall living costs in the Kingman-Golden Valley area fall below both state and national averages, though an exact cost-of-living index figure isn't available in official sources. In most cases, you'll find groceries, utilities, and everyday expenses track below the Arizona norm as well. For current local and long-distance moving rates, call (855) 822-2722. Rates start at $99-$199/hr for local moves and from $1,762 for long-distance routes.
Tips for Moving to Kingman
Beat the heat. June through August highs regularly hit 95-100°F and can exceed 105°F. Schedule loading and unloading in early morning or late evening, keep water on hand, and protect heat-sensitive items like electronics and candles.
Check road conditions for rural moves. Golden Valley, So-Hi, and properties near the Hualapai Mountains often sit on unpaved or steep roads. Confirm whether a full-size truck can reach the address or if a shuttle vehicle is needed - ask specifically about soft sand, wash crossings, and low branches.
Verify HOA and gate rules before arrival. Valle Vista has an active HOA with CC&Rs governing parking and truck access. East-side planned communities may require advance notice or a certificate of insurance. Don't wait until move day to find out.
Prepare for sloped driveways. Most Kingman homes are single-story, but hillside areas near the Hualapai foothills can have sloped or longer driveways. Ramps and wheel chocks are standard in our kit, and we'll avoid parking heavy trucks at the edge of steep or unreinforced surfaces.
