From lake homes on Upper and Lower Prior Lake to Lake Ridge Apartments, Highwood Homes, the Pike Lake area, and The Wilds Ridge, we've moved Prior Lake residents on and off the water. Choose a flat-rate or hourly move, with every fee written into your quote.
Prior Lake is built around Upper and Lower Prior Lake, plus a ring of newer neighborhoods and apartments set back from the shore. A lakeshore move and an apartment move don't look anything alike, so we plan each one on its own terms. Collegiate Power Movers is a licensed, insured Minnesota mover (MN DOT #385610), founded in Farmington and now based in Woodbury.
Lakeshore homes are where the hard carries are: walkout lower levels, sloped yards, long paths between the house and the truck, and furniture that's spent years by the lake.
Apartments, townhomes, and newer neighborhoods like The Wilds Ridge mean move-in windows, shared hallways, and new finishes to keep clean.

Lakeshore Homes
We've moved homeowners on both lakes, from walkout ramblers to big two-story lake houses. These are usually our longest carries, so we plan crew size and truck placement before move day.
✓ MovedWe've moved families in The Wilds Ridge, the neighborhood around The Wilds Golf Club. Larger custom homes here usually get a three- or four-mover crew and full protection for floors and trim.
✓ MovedWe've moved residents around Pike Lake, an area with apartments and newer homes set among wetlands and trails. Newer finishes get runners and padded door frames before anything comes inside.
✓ MovedWe've moved residents in and out of Lake Ridge Apartments. Most of these are two- or three-mover jobs, quoted flat on Red Glove or billed hourly, whichever fits the unit.
✓ MovedWe've moved residents at Highwood Homes. We confirm timing and access ahead of time so the crew loads quickly and keeps shared areas clear.
✓ Moved
We look at the driveway, the slope, and the walkout door before quoting, so the crew size and truck spot are right on day one.
Runners on floors and stairs, padded railings and door frames, from the lake level up to the main floor.
Patio sets, porch furniture, and heavy pieces from the lower level get wrapped and loaded like everything else.
Lake home closings bunch up in spring and early summer. Book early and we'll work around your closing date.
