The San Antonio & Hill Country → Bloomington corridor
The San Antonio-to-Bloomington move is a long, clean run almost entirely up one highway: roughly 1,170 miles on Interstate 35 North, the interstate that ties the middle of the country together from Texas to the Twin Cities. A RiverHills crew stages the load in San Antonio or out in the Hill Country, then merges onto I-35 and climbs north through Austin, Waco, and into the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, where I-35 briefly splits into 35W and 35E before rejoining near Denton. From there it's Gainesville and across the Red River into Oklahoma, up through Ardmore to Oklahoma City, then north across the Kansas line past Wichita and the Flint Hills, through the Kansas City area, and into the rolling farm country of Iowa past Des Moines and Ames. The final leg drops out of Iowa through Albert Lea, Owatonna, and Faribault before easing into the Minnesota River valley, where I-35W and I-494 hand off right into Bloomington on the south edge of Minneapolis. This is the same corridor Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg households ride north, so a search for "Kerrville to Bloomington" or "Boerne to Bloomington" lands here too — Hill Country pickups run east on I-10 to meet I-35 above San Antonio and join the very same drive.
What separates a RiverHills long-distance move on this route is that it stays on one crew and one truck the entire way. There's no interlining, no broker handoff, and no swapping your belongings onto a stranger's trailer at a terminal in Dallas or Kansas City. The same San Antonio to Bloomington movers who pad-wrap and load your home in Texas are the ones who carry it up the basement stairs in Minnesota. The land itself changes character as you go — from the Balcones Escarpment and blackland prairie of Texas, through the Cross Timbers and Oklahoma plains, over the tallgrass Flint Hills, and into the corn-and-soybean country of Iowa before the terrain greens up along the Minnesota River. Straight through, the drive runs about 17 to 18 hours of road time, which we build into a realistic multi-day transit window with a delivery date you can actually plan around.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Bloomington.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Bloomington, MN
Bloomington is Minnesota's fourth-largest city and one of the anchors of the Twin Cities south metro — best known for the Mall of America and the MSP airport corridor, but lived-in as a genuinely established, tree-shaded suburb. It grew up in the post-war boom, so much of the housing stock is solid mid-century: ramblers, split-levels, and story-and-a-halfs on generous lots. On the older east side around Oxboro, that means narrow 1950s streets and mature boulevard trees that our long-distance movers scout ahead of time, since a full-size van sometimes needs a careful curb spot or a shuttle to reach the door. Nearly every home here also has a basement — a real change from San Antonio's slab-on-grade construction — so basement stair carries, tight stairwell turns, and getting large pieces past egress windows are part of how we plan the unload rather than a surprise on move day.
The rest of the city offers a real mix. The South Loop District near the Mall of America and IKEA has filled in with high-rise condos and apartments, where we coordinate loading docks, reserved freight elevators, and certificates of insurance with building management before the truck ever rolls. The same goes for the towers clustered around Normandale Lake, one of the metro's premier office-and-residential districts. West of Highway 169, neighborhoods like Bush Lake wind through wooded hills near Hyland Lake Park Reserve, where steeper driveways and curving lanes shape how we stage the truck and lay out the carry. Employers keep the city humming: Toro, HealthPartners, Ceridian/Dayforce, and Donaldson all headquarter in Bloomington, Delta anchors a major hub at MSP just across I-494, and Normandale Community College plus the Mall's retail-and-hospitality economy round it out.
Coming from San Antonio, the honest trade is square footage and yard for four true seasons, walkable lake parks, and a short commute into downtown Minneapolis. Homes in Bloomington generally cost more per square foot than comparable Texas suburbs, and Minnesota's property taxes run higher, so families often right-size into a well-built mid-century home near a place like Moir Park or Valley View rather than the newer sprawling build they left behind. What you gain is location — an established community minutes from the airport, the Minnesota River bluffs, and one of the deepest job markets in the Upper Midwest.

How a San Antonio-area to Bloomington move is quoted + timed
Every move is estimated for the specific shipment — no published rate card. These are the details RiverHills reviews before discussing price and schedule.
Weather & timing for your Bloomington move
Bloomington sits in a humid continental climate, which is a genuine change of season from South Texas. Winters are cold and snowy — January highs often sit in the low 20s with subzero cold snaps, and the Twin Cities declare snow emergencies with strict overnight parking rules that can complicate a move-in day. Summers are warm and humid, with July highs in the low-to-mid 80s and occasional strong thunderstorms rolling through. Spring brings a muddy thaw and frost coming out of the ground, while fall is crisp and generally settled. The best window to move is late spring through early fall — roughly May into October — when the roads are clear, daylight is long, and the northern stretch of I-35 through Iowa and Minnesota is free of ice and blowing snow. RiverHills moves in clean, padded, blanket-wrapped trucks rather than refrigerated or climate-controlled ones, so the crew works efficiently and shields wood and upholstered pieces from the elements at both ends. If the move must happen in the colder months, we plan for salted, cleared walkways and shorter exposure times on the carry.

How far is San Antonio to Bloomington, and how long does the move take? expand_more
It's about 1,170 miles almost straight up I-35 North, roughly 17 to 18 hours of driving. As a long-distance interstate move, that translates to a multi-day transit window rather than a same-day job, and RiverHills gives you a realistic delivery date up front. Pickups from Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg feed onto the same I-35 corridor, so the timing works the same way.
Do you also move from Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg to Bloomington? expand_more
Yes. RiverHills is based in the Texas Hill Country with branches in Boerne and Kerrville, and Hill Country moves ride the exact same route — east on I-10 to meet I-35 above San Antonio, then straight north to Minnesota. Whether you're leaving Kerrville, Fredericksburg, Comfort, or central San Antonio, you're on one corridor and one crew to Bloomington.
Will one crew handle the whole move, or does it get handed off along the way? expand_more
One dedicated RiverHills crew and truck handle the move end to end. There's no interlining, no broker, and no transferring your belongings onto another company's trailer at a terminal in Dallas or Kansas City. The same movers who load your home in Texas are the ones who unload it in Bloomington, and everything is padded and blanket-wrapped for the run.
Can you handle basements, stairs, and high-rise buildings on the Bloomington end? expand_more
Absolutely — those are the norm here. Bloomington's mid-century homes almost all have basements with tight stairwells, and the South Loop and Normandale Lake areas have high-rise condos and apartments. The crew plans basement carries, stairwell turns, and building requirements like reserved freight elevators and certificates of insurance ahead of time so move day runs smoothly.
