Local know-how
What to know about moving in Santa Monica.
Your stuff is safe with us. Ten years and 60,000+ moves later, we still treat every box like it contains your grandmother’s china. Whether you’re moving a studio apartment near Santa Monica College or a beachfront house, we’ve got the right equipment and experience.
Start planning about six weeks out. Santa Monica’s rental market moves fast, and so should your preparation. Get your parking permits sorted early – the city requires permits for moving trucks in most areas, and you don’t want to scramble for this the night before.
Create an inventory list. Trust us on this one. With all the excitement of moving to or within Santa Monica, it’s easy to lose track of things. Plus, if you’re moving from a rent-controlled apartment, you’ll want documentation of everything.
Give yourself time to explore your new Santa Monica world. Each neighborhood has its own personality – from the artistic vibe around Bergamot Station to the family-friendly streets near Franklin Elementary.
The local Facebook groups and NextDoor are goldmines for discovering everything from the best nearby grocery stores to which food trucks park where on which days. Santa Monica locals love sharing their insider knowledge with newcomers.
