Moving in Mission, BC: Fraser River Slopes and Highway 7 Logistics
Mission is set on a southern coastal mountain slope overlooking the Fraser River, roughly 70 kilometres east of Vancouver and about 15 minutes from the US border. With a population over 42,000, Mission has kept some of its small-town character even as it has become one of the faster growing communities in the Fraser Valley, with substantial population growth expected over the coming years.
For those moving into or out of Mission, the city’s hillside setting above the river shapes many of its neighbourhoods, with some streets rising steeply from the historic downtown core toward the upper residential areas. Mission’s economy grew historically around forestry, hydroelectricity, and agriculture, and that industrial and rural character is still reflected in parts of the community today. The Mission Bridge across the Fraser River connects the city directly to Abbotsford and Highway 1.
Residential Moving in Mission, BC
Mission’s neighbourhoods range from its riverside historic core to newer growth areas spreading into the surrounding hills.
Historic Downtown and Central Mission
Mission’s original downtown core sits close to the Fraser River and the West Coast Express station, with a mix of heritage buildings, small businesses, and established residential streets rising up the hillside behind it. Our crews plan moves here around the area’s steeper grades and more compact street layout.
Cedar Valley
Cedar Valley, on the eastern side of the city, has become one of Mission’s primary growth areas, with new residential subdivisions and a growing neighbourhood commercial centre. Streets here are newer and generally well-suited to full-size moving trucks.
College Heights
College Heights takes its name from its proximity to the University of the Fraser Valley’s Mission campus, and the area combines established family homes with a walkable local commercial strip. Our teams are familiar with the streets serving this part of the city.
Hatzic, Stave Falls, and Silverdale
To the east, the Hatzic, Stave Falls, and Silverdale areas offer a more rural setting around Hatzic Lake and Stave Lake, with acreages and properties on longer, sometimes gravel driveways. Our crew leaders confirm site access in advance for moves in these outlying communities.
West Heights
On the western edge of the city, West Heights includes a mix of established single-family homes on the slopes above the Fraser River. Moves in this area can involve grades and driveway configurations similar to those found closer to downtown, so our teams plan vehicle placement carefully.
Commercial Moving in Mission, BC
Mission’s industrial base has grown considerably in recent years, anchored by the long-established Silver Creek Industrial Park along the Lougheed Highway west of downtown and the newer Cade Barr Business Park, Mission’s largest-ever industrial development, in Cedar Valley. Downtown Mission and the Lougheed Highway corridor support a range of retail and professional services businesses.
We provide commercial moving services for Mission businesses of all sizes. For light industrial and warehouse operations in Silver Creek and Cedar Valley’s business parks, we handle equipment and inventory with the right vehicles and crew. For downtown offices and retail businesses, we manage the move efficiently and on a schedule that limits disruption to customers and staff.
Long-Distance Moves to and from Mission
Mission sits on Highway 7, the Lougheed Highway, and connects across the Fraser River via the Mission Bridge on Highway 11 to Abbotsford and Highway 1, about 15 minutes to the south. The West Coast Express commuter rail line also links Mission directly to Downtown Vancouver, and the city’s location close to the US border adds further convenience for cross-border moves.
As a member of United Van Lines, we offer fully coordinated long-distance moving services to and from Mission. Whether you are moving across BC, across the country, or across the border into the United States, our services cover professional packing and crating, sealed container transport, complete customs documentation for international moves, and storage options for clients who need flexibility between addresses.

Full Range of Packing and Moving Services
Packing and Unpacking
We handle complete household and commercial packing with professional materials and methods, keeping everything protected from the moment we start packing to the moment we set it down in your new space.
Container Service
Sealed containers limit the handling of your goods during long-distance transport and include a complimentary 30-day storage option, which can be especially helpful when timing between properties is tight.
Furniture Assembly and Disassembly
We take apart and reassemble all types of furniture at both ends of your move, so your new home or office is fully set up without you having to lift a tool.
Short-Term Container Storage
When your new property is not ready on move-out day, we load your belongings into a sealed container and store them safely at our facility until you are ready for delivery.
Long-Term Warehouse Storage
For clients who need extended storage solutions, our temperature-controlled warehouse crating keeps your possessions safe and accessible for months or longer.
