Moving and Storage in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles

Boyle Heights sits east of the Los Angeles River across the bridges from Downtown, in ZIP codes 90033 and 90023. Cesar E. Chavez Avenue, 1st Street, 4th Street, Soto Street, Boyle Avenue and Whittier Boulevard carry local traffic, and the 5, 10, 60 and 101 freeways all meet around the district, with the river bridges acting as pinch points. It is one of the oldest residential areas in the City of Los Angeles, so street parking reservations run through LADOT, which states a lead time of five working days for temporary no-parking signs.

The housing is what shapes a move here. Victorian and Craftsman houses sit on raised foundations with a flight of front steps, narrow original doors and tight stairwells. 1920s and 1930s apartment buildings are mostly walk-ups with no lift, and bungalow courts are reached along a shared path rather than a driveway. Parts of the area sit on slopes with narrow streets and limited turning room, where a smaller vehicle making more trips is the right choice. Many households are multigenerational, and converted garages, back houses and accessory units are in regular use, so the contents of every structure on the lot need to be part of the estimate. On duplexes and small buildings, stairs and access are shared with neighbours, which is another reason a reserved kerb and a tidy crew matter.
