Denton is the Denton County seat, a city of 139,869 people at the 2020 Census, and it moves to an academic calendar. The University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University together enroll more than 45,000 students, which helps explain the city's median age of 30.2, and many moves cluster around semester start and end dates. Away from campus, life centers on Denton Square, built around the Courthouse-on-the-Square, and the Fry Street area near UNT. On the highway side, Denton is where I-35E and I-35W rejoin to form I-35 near milepost 468. Loop 288 wraps the north, east and southeast sides of the city, and US 380 runs east toward McKinney and west toward Decatur. That makes Denton a natural starting point for moves north toward Oklahoma. Green Van Lines has been a long-distance mover out of Dallas–Fort Worth since 2007 and was the first eco-friendly moving company in the US. Our Farmers Branch base is about 30 miles south, straight up I-35E.

Denton questions
Which interstate will my move take out of Denton?
Denton is where I-35E and I-35W merge into I-35. Moves heading north toward Oklahoma typically take I-35 directly. Other destinations may use I-35E or I-35W south, or US 380 east or west.
Is Denton busier for moves at certain times of year?
Yes. With more than 45,000 students at UNT and TWU, demand tends to rise around the start and end of semesters. If you are moving at the end of May or in August, book early.
Is there highway construction I should plan around?
TxDOT is rebuilding the I-35E/I-35W interchange and widening I-35 through Denton, with construction running from spring 2025 to an expected completion in summer 2029. We account for work zones when planning truck departure times.
