Parking, permits and access
Moving logistics in Marina del Rey
Buildings and street access
- In the county's Marina del Rey parking district, vehicles over 20 ft long, 8 ft wide or 7.5 ft tall may not park on the street from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. without a permit. Source: official LA County rule
- 98% of homes are in buildings with 5 or more units, 95% in buildings with 20 or more. Expect elevator reservations, set move-in hours and COI requests; we send COIs the same day.
- 0% of homes were built before 1940, so most buildings have standard-width doors and stairwells. Walk-ups still change the crew size, so tell us the floor at both ends.
Most homes here are in large apartment and condo complexes along Admiralty Way and Via Marina. Many have move-in hours, elevators you have to reserve and parking garages too low for a moving truck. Ask your building manager about the loading area and any certificate of insurance they need, and send us the details when you book.
On the Marina Peninsula, between the harbor and the beach, the streets are narrow and many homes face walk streets with no curb in front. Tell us when you call so we can plan how far the crew will carry and which truck to bring.
Washington Boulevard, Lincoln Boulevard and the 90 carry most of the traffic in and out of the marina. Weekend afternoons near the beach are slow, so we usually suggest a morning start.
Where we move
Neighborhoods we move in around Marina del Rey
Los Angeles County owns all the land in Marina del Rey and leases parcels to the companies that build and run the apartment complexes, so each complex sets its own move-in rules. Two complexes next door to each other can have different hours and requirements, so check yours even if you've moved in the marina before.
