Trusted Movers in Highland Park
Highland Park is City of Los Angeles ground in ZIP 90042, laid along the Arroyo Seco between Mount Washington, Garvanza and South Pasadena, with the 110 Arroyo Seco Parkway to the southeast. Figueroa Street, York Boulevard and the numbered Avenues form an older, narrow grid where houses sit close to the street, driveways on the oldest lots are short or missing, and residents park on both sides. Here a LADOT kerb reservation genuinely helps rather than being a formality. Metro A Line trains stop at Highland Park station on Avenue 57 and Marmion Way, and the area holds Sycamore Grove Park and the Arroyo Seco Regional Branch Library on North Figueroa.
The Highland Park-Garvanza HPOZ, adopted in 1994 and extended over Garvanza in 2010, covers a large number of period houses. It governs exterior alterations, not moving, but it means many homes keep original doors, windows, porches, wooden stairs and floors that mark easily. Victorian and Craftsman houses sit on raised foundations with a flight of steps up to the porch, narrow original doors, plaster-walled stair turns and built-in furniture that stays. Those steps are what slow a job, so we count them, look for a side or rear route and measure the carry from legal parking. Toward Mount Washington the streets turn narrow, steep and winding, some homes are reached by exterior stairs from the street below, and a shuttle from a smaller vehicle is usually the workable approach, priced at the estimate.
On York and Figueroa, small shops, galleries and restaurants in older buildings have no loading facilities, so commercial moves run early or in agreed after-hours windows with the landlord's approval. Filming can also take parking on a block. Popeye Moving & Storage, serving Los Angeles since 1994 under CAL T 189749, offers Local Residential Moving, Fine Art & Antique Moving, Retail & Restaurant Moving and Vaulted Storage, with an itemised written quote and a Not To Exceed figure.

LOCAL EXPERTISE
Common Moving and Storage Issues in Highland Park
Porch steps on raised foundations
Victorian and Craftsman houses put a flight of steps between the street and the door, which sets much of the time.
Contested kerb on the Avenues
Short or missing driveways and parking on both sides mean a reserved space makes a real difference to carry distance.
Hillside and stair-access homes
Streets toward Mount Washington can be too steep and narrow for a full-size truck, and some homes have no road access.
Original period finishes
Wooden stairs, floors, doors and built-ins in protected houses need covering and a planned route.
LOCAL TIPS
Moving and Storage Tips for Highland Park Residents
Count the porch steps and check for a side or rear path before your estimate.
Ask neighbors about any filming planned on your block around the move date.
An early start helps, as the 110, the 2 and the 134 all feed traffic into the area.

Popeye Moving & Storage Reviews from Highland Park Customers
Real reviews from Highland Park and nearby Los Angeles neighborhoods.
“Raccoon on the citywide Los Angeles overflow 0 at lunch. Sealed Los Angeles food boxes, no incident.”
“We live on a steep hillside in Silver Lake - our driveway is narrow and our old mover said their truck could not get up. Popeye sent a smaller truck and a crew that clearly knew hillside access. They navigated the driveway, wrapped everything properly, and nothing was damaged. The whole move ran smoothly. Highly recommend for anyone in the hills.”
“Moved from a 28th-floor unit in DTLA. Our building has strict elevator reservations and a 4-hour window. Popeye coordinated with the property manager, got the COI in on time, and the crew showed up right at the start of our block. They were fast, careful, and finished with 20 minutes to spare. Best apartment move we have had.”
Moving and Storage Service in Highland Park - FAQ
Highland Park is in the City of Los Angeles, so temporary no-parking signs come from LADOT, which states a lead time of five working days. On the narrow Avenues and older grid streets where residents park on both sides, a reservation is worth arranging so the truck can work close to the door. Signs do not override red curb or street cleaning.
Typical Los Angeles local residential moving runs $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck. That is a typical range, not a quote. Porch steps, stair turns, carry distance and any shuttle on a hillside street affect the time, and your price is set in writing with a Not To Exceed figure before anything is loaded.
Yes, either way, at no charge. Show the porch steps, the stairs inside and the route to the street. After a video survey Popeye can give a guaranteed binding price, and you receive an itemised written quote you can compare and discuss before booking.
The Highland Park-Garvanza Historic Preservation Overlay Zone governs exterior changes to houses, not moving, so it does not restrict the move itself. It does mean many homes have original doors, porches, wooden stairs and floors, and protecting those is part of how the crew works.
Stair-access homes are planned as hand-carry moves from the start, with crew size and time set for the route. On the steep, winding streets toward Mount Washington a shuttle from a smaller vehicle is often used. Tell us on the first call how the house is reached so the method and price are right.
Yes. Retail & Restaurant Moving for the York and Figueroa corridors is scheduled early or in agreed after-hours windows so trading is not interrupted. Because these older buildings rarely have loading facilities and the landlord often controls access, we confirm arrangements before the date is fixed.
