The corridor

The San Antonio & Hill Country → Kenedy corridor

The drive from San Antonio to Kenedy is a straight, easy 60-mile run down US-181 Southeast, and it's a lane our crews know cold. We pick up US-181 where it branches off I-37 just south of Loop 410, roll past the south-side ranchland and the San Antonio River bottoms, and drop through Floresville, Poth, and Falls City before the highway bends past Karnes City and into Kenedy about four miles later, right where US-181 meets State Highway 72. Households moving from Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg share this exact route — the Hill Country funnels down through San Antonio to catch I-37 and US-181 — so "Kerrville to Kenedy" and "Boerne to Kenedy" are the same trip on the same truck.

Plan on roughly an hour and fifteen minutes with a loaded truck. The terrain trades the Hill Country's limestone hills for the gently rolling post-oak savannah and South Texas brush country of Karnes County — flat, open, and fast, with the only real slow points being the traffic lights in Floresville, Poth, and downtown Kenedy. Because Kenedy sits squarely inside our regular Texas operating radius, this is a lane we run constantly as part of our core footprint, not an exotic long-haul. Your San Antonio or Hill Country crew loads your home and drives it door-to-door themselves — no interlining, no broker handoff, no swapping your belongings onto a stranger's trailer at a warehouse halfway there.

Destination guide

About Kenedy, TX

Kenedy is a compact, hard-working South Texas town of about 3,500 sitting at the epicenter of the Eagle Ford Shale, where US-181 and State Highway 72 cross. Most newcomers land near one of a handful of recognizable areas: Historic Downtown Kenedy, with its railroad-era brick storefronts along Main Street; the older, tree-shaded blocks of the Nichols Addition; the established homes near Escondido Creek Parkway; and the newer builds, manufactured homes, and small acreage strung along the South US-181 / Sunset Strip corridor toward Otto Kaiser Memorial Hospital. Adjacent Karnes City — the county seat, just four miles north — is part of the same everyday orbit.

The economy runs on three engines: Eagle Ford oil and gas (Karnes County is one of the most productive counties in the entire play, so oilfield services, trucking, and drilling support are everywhere), corrections at the John B. Connally Unit just south of town, and healthcare at Otto Kaiser Memorial Hospital, alongside Kenedy ISD, ranching, and small business. Life here is unhurried and family-centered — H-E-B for groceries, strong church communities, Friday-night Kenedy Lions football, Escondido Creek Parkway for the outdoors, and the deep Polish-Tejano heritage of nearby Panna Maria and Cestohowa a short drive up the road.

Coming from San Antonio or the Hill Country, the trade is space and quiet for amenities. Property taxes and land prices run lower, Texas charges no state income tax, and a budget that buys a tight city lot in San Antonio often stretches to a house with a real yard — or a few acres — in Kenedy. The trade-off is honest: this is a one-H-E-B town where the nearest big-box shopping and airport are back up US-181 in Floresville or San Antonio, so most folks who move here are swapping nightlife and short commutes for elbow room, a slower pace, and a genuine small-town community.

Weather & timing for your Kenedy move

Kenedy has a humid subtropical climate — hot, muggy summers and short, mild winters. August is the brutal stretch, with highs near 97°F and heat-index readings that can top 120°F on the worst afternoons, while winters rarely bite, usually bottoming out in the 40s. The area averages around 35 inches of rain a year, much of it arriving in heavy spring and early-summer storms, with May the wettest month. The most comfortable window for a move is fall through early spring — roughly October into April — when the heat and humidity ease off. If you move in the peak of summer, we schedule the load for early morning to beat the afternoon heat on both the crew and the truck. Our trucks aren't climate-controlled, but your belongings are clean-padded, blanket-wrapped, and handled quickly, and we keep heat-sensitive items like candles, electronics, and pressed-wood furniture loaded out of the direct sun.

Local know-how

Tips for a San Antonio → Kenedy move

Book an early-morning load, especially May through September — South Texas afternoons on US-181 get punishing, and starting at sunrise keeps your crew fresh and your belongings out of the worst heat.
Tell us about access ahead of time. The narrow Main Street curbs of Historic Downtown Kenedy, gated entries and long caliche driveways along the Sunset Strip acreage, and tight older lots in the Nichols Addition can all call for a smaller shuttle vehicle or extra carry — easy to plan for in advance, hard to fix on move day.
For rural addresses off the FM roads and out toward Escondido Creek, drop us a map pin rather than just a street number, and flag soft shoulders, low-water crossings, septic lines, and well heads — the creek bottoms stay soft for days after a rain.
Kenedy is essentially a one-H-E-B town, so stock up on boxes, tape, and packing paper before move day or have us bring supplies; the nearest big-box stores are back up US-181 in Floresville or San Antonio.

RiverHills Moving Company helped me move my mom from Harper Texas to Dallas (Frisco) Texas. They were absolutely fantastic. Could not have been nicer guys that helped pack her up and move her in. Very respectful and I have NEVER had movers that have handled our stuff so well and were so polite. I grew up military and have moved my entire childhood. They took great care of my mom.

Frequently asked: San Antonio to Kenedy

How long does a move from San Antonio to Kenedy take, and can you do it in one day? expand_more

Almost always, yes. It's about 60 miles straight down US-181 — roughly an hour and fifteen minutes with a loaded truck — so a typical household is loaded, driven, and unloaded the same day by a single crew, with no overnight storage in between.

Do you move from Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg to Kenedy too, or only from San Antonio? expand_more

Both. RiverHills is a Hill Country company with branches in Boerne and Kerrville, and those moves share the very same US-181 corridor — the Hill Country funnels down through San Antonio to pick up I-37 and US-181. Boerne-to-Kenedy and Kerrville-to-Kenedy are everyday lanes for us, scheduled just as fast as the San Antonio runs.

Will my belongings be handed off to another company or loaded onto a broker's truck? expand_more

No. The San Antonio or Hill Country crew that loads your home is the same crew that drives it to Kenedy and unloads it — our truck, our people, door to door. There's no interlining, no broker handoff, and nothing transferred onto a stranger's trailer partway there.

Can you handle rural acreage, gated entries, or tight downtown access in Kenedy? expand_more

Yes — that's most of what this market is. We move plenty of homes on Karnes County acreage, behind gates along the Sunset Strip corridor, and on the narrow older streets downtown. We scout access ahead of time and bring a shuttle vehicle or extra crew whenever a long driveway, a gate, or a Main Street curb won't take the full-size truck.
