Franktown Movers
Moving to or from Franktown, Colorado
Franktown is a small, unincorporated community in Douglas County, sitting at the crossroads of Highway 83 (Parker Road) and Highway 86 — roughly 9 miles south of Parker, 7 miles east of Castle Rock, and 9 miles west of Elizabeth. With fewer than 500 full-time residents, Franktown has a distinctly rural character, known for acreage properties, custom homes, equestrian estates, and proximity to Castlewood Canyon State Park.
Parker Movers LLC provides residential moving services to Franktown customers, including moves connecting Franktown to Parker, Castle Rock, and Elizabeth, as well as longer-distance relocations elsewhere in Colorado.
Because Franktown is unincorporated and largely made up of larger acreage lots with private wells, septic systems, and rural roads, it helps to describe your specific property’s access when requesting a quote so we can plan the right crew and equipment.

Moving in Franktown — What You Should Know
Franktown has been a crossroads community since 1877 and briefly served as Douglas County’s first county seat in the 1860s. Today it remains small and largely rural, with a town center consisting of little more than a cafe, general store, historic post office, and volunteer fire station — but the greater Franktown area it serves extends across a substantial stretch of rural Douglas County ranchland and equestrian estates.
Highway 83 (Parker Road) runs north-south through Franktown, connecting it to Parker 9 miles north and continuing south toward Colorado Springs, while Highway 86 runs east-west, connecting Franktown to Castle Rock 7 miles west and Elizabeth 9 miles east. The intersection of the two highways is the community’s hub.
Because Franktown is unincorporated, most properties rely on private wells, septic systems, and county-maintained or private roads rather than municipal utilities and city streets. Many homes sit on large lots with long driveways, and some include barns or other equestrian facilities — details worth mentioning when planning a move.
Castlewood Canyon State Park sits just south of the Highway 83/86 intersection, and the broader Franktown area is popular with horse owners and outdoor enthusiasts. Given the rural setting, weather can affect unpaved road conditions, so it’s worth building some flexibility into a Franktown move date.
