Angola may be a small city, but moving here still comes with a unique set of challenges. Whether you're moving to a home near the lakes or settling into a spot downtown, a little local knowledge can make a big difference. Here’s what to consider before moving day.
1. Plan Around Weekend Lake Traffic
During summer weekends, traffic picks up significantly near Lake James, Crooked Lake, and other nearby spots. If possible, avoid moving Friday through Sunday in lake-heavy areas.
2. Check for Steep Driveways and Gravel Roads
Many homes near Angola’s lakes have gravel or sloped driveways. Let your movers know in advance so they can bring the right equipment and secure your belongings safely.
3. Coordinate with Gated or Private Lake Communities
If you're moving into a gated area, such as those near Lake Gage or Jimmerson Lake, be sure to coordinate gate codes or access permissions ahead of time.
4. Watch for Summer Construction
US 20 and other major roads are often under construction in warmer months. A quick check of INDOT’s road updates can save your truck from being rerouted.
5. Trust a Team That Knows Angola
