Moving Tote Rentals in Lakewood, NJ

Lakewood is the largest township in Ocean County by population, with neighborhoods spreading out from the downtown along Route 9 and Clifton Avenue toward Lake Carasaljo and the newer developments off Route 70. Totes4U delivers sturdy moving totes anywhere in Lakewood.

With some of the county's largest households, Lakewood customers often book our 3BR to 5BR packages. Email us and we'll help you size it right.

What moving in Lakewood looks like

Homes here often have a lot of bedrooms to pack. Count every room, including the basement and any storage space, and size up when you are between packages.

Parking is tight on many Lakewood streets. Tell us where the totes should go, whether that is the porch, the garage or the front walk, so the drop does not block the road.

Local moving notes for Lakewood

A fast growing town

Lakewood is the most populous town in Ocean County and one of the fastest growing in New Jersey, with a lot of new townhouses, apartments and condos going up. New construction moves usually mean a hard closing date, so lock in your totes as soon as you have it.

Neighborhoods

Besides the downtown and the areas around Lake Carasaljo, Lakewood includes Leisure Village, Leisure Village East, Greenville, Seven Stars and South Lakewood.

Getting around

Parkway Exit 89 is the main interchange now (Exit 88 closed for good in 2014). Routes 70, 88 and 9 run through town, and Route 9 at the Lake Carasaljo bridge is a well known bottleneck. Plan around rush hour if your move crosses it.

55 and over

Leisure Village, on the south side of Route 70, opened in 1963 as a condominium retirement community. Leisure Village East is its own separate community. Both see steady downsizing moves, and our downsizing guide walks through those.

Trash, schools and utilities

Lakewood's Department of Public Works page covers sanitation and bulk trash pickup, which is handy for everything that isn't making the move. The Lakewood School District runs the public schools, and electric is JCP&L.
