Howdy! 🤠
Wimberley is one of those Hill Country towns that people visit once and start daydreaming about moving to. Cypress-lined creeks, swimming holes, a walkable town square and plenty of room to breathe make it a favorite for families, retirees and anyone ready for a slower pace.
We’re Elite Star Movers, a family owned and operated moving company based in Buda, and we help families move into and out of Wimberley and the surrounding Hays County Hill Country. Our motto says it best: “Serving People & Protecting Furniture, Peace by Piece.” Here’s what we’ve learned about making a Wimberley move go smoothly.
Getting to Know Wimberley
Wimberley sits in the Hill Country of Hays County, where Cypress Creek meets the Blanco River. It’s known for natural spots like Blue Hole Regional Park and Jacob’s Well, a lively square full of local shops, galleries and restaurants, and Wimberley Market Days, a long-running outdoor market that draws visitors from all over Central Texas.
People move here for the scenery, the small-town feel and the sense of community, while still staying connected to San Marcos, Dripping Springs and the Austin area.
Hill Country Homes Need a Little Extra Planning
Wimberley homes have a lot of character, and that character shows up on move day. Here’s what we plan for:
Protecting Your Home and Furniture
Hill Country homes often have wood floors, stone entries and custom woodwork you’ll want to keep looking great. Before we carry a single box, our crew protects floors with runners and pads door frames so furniture and walls don’t get scuffed.
Every piece of furniture gets padded and wrapped before it leaves the room. If you want to see how we do it, take a look at our guide to protecting furniture and floors.
Watch the Weather and the Calendar
A little planning around Wimberley’s calendar goes a long way:
- Check the forecast. Heavy rain in the Hill Country can affect low-water crossings and creekside roads. If storms are in the forecast, we’ll talk with you about timing and the safest route.
- Plan around Market Days and busy weekends. Wimberley gets lots of visitors on Market Days and holiday weekends, so traffic near the square can be heavier. A weekday move is often easier.
- Beat the summer heat. Central Texas summers are hot, so morning start times help keep everyone comfortable.
- Book early for spring and summer. These are popular moving seasons, so give yourself plenty of lead time.
Packing Tips for a Wimberley Move
Once you’re in, we can also unpack and help organize your new home. Ask us about our home organizing services.
Moving to Wimberley From Out of State?
Wimberley draws newcomers from all over the country, and out-of-state moves are a normal part of what we do. If you’re coming to the Hill Country from another state, our guide to moving to Austin from out of state has helpful planning tips for the whole Central Texas area. And if you’re leaving Wimberley for a new state, we can handle that move too.
A Few Practical Settling-In Tips
- Ask neighbors or your realtor about internet options, since service can vary from one road to the next in the Hill Country.
- Find out whether your new home is on city water, a water supply corporation or a well, and whether it uses a septic system.
- Learn your trash and recycling setup, since it can differ for homes outside town.
