Moving and Storage in Alamitos Beach, Long Beach

Alamitos Beach covers the flat blocks between Alamitos Avenue and Shoreline Drive on the west and Junipero Avenue on the east, from 4th Street down to Ocean Boulevard, in ZIP 90802. Downtown Long Beach is to the west, Bluff Park to the east, and Bixby Park on Cherry Avenue is the main open space. It is one of the most densely populated parts of the city, and nearly all of it is apartments: 1920s and 1930s courtyard buildings, art deco and Spanish-style blocks, mid-century walk-ups, and high-rise condominium towers on the bluff along Ocean Boulevard. Short tenancies keep a steady flow of studio and one-bedroom moves, many at month end and at short notice.

There are two kinds of job here. In the older walk-ups there is no lift, stairwells and landings are tight, original doors are small, and courtyard buildings add an open walkway between the street and the unit, so stairs and carry distance set the hours. The Ocean Boulevard towers have service lifts and management offices instead: expect a fixed lift reservation, a certificate of insurance naming the owner and the management company, sometimes a deposit, a designated loading position and permitted move hours. Their garages usually have clearance a full-size truck cannot pass, and the lift window caps how much can move in a day. In both cases the hardest question is where the truck can legally stand. Long Beach does not allow commercial vehicles over three tons to park in residential areas, much of the district is in preferential parking districts where guest permits do not cover a moving truck, and sweeping is posted by side of street between 5am and 4pm. We plan the truck position and the carry from it before the day.
