Moving and Storage in Marina Peninsula, Los Angeles

Marina Peninsula runs about a mile and a half south from Washington Boulevard, below the Venice Pier, to the Marina del Rey harbor entrance channel, with the Pacific on the west and Ballona Lagoon and the Venice Canals on the east. Its mail may read Venice or Marina del Rey, but it was annexed to the City of Los Angeles with Venice in 1925 and sits in the Venice Neighborhood Council. Marina del Rey proper is unincorporated county land with its own administration. On the Peninsula, street permits run through LADOT, and that is the first thing we confirm for an address.

The streets run alphabetically and nautically, from Anchorage Street to Yawl Street, and many blocks between Speedway and Ocean Front Walk are pedestrian walk streets. A house on one of them has no vehicle access to its door, so every item is carried from the nearest place a vehicle can legally stand, and that distance shapes the crew, the equipment and the hours. Speedway, the narrow lane behind the beachfront lots, and Pacific Avenue down the middle carry almost all vehicle traffic, and both are tight for a full-size truck to enter, turn or back out of. A smaller vehicle making more trips is often the right choice. Public parking is scarce and beachgoers take most of it on summer weekends, so LADOT temporary signs, booked five working days ahead, matter here.

Homes range from beachfront houses and canal-side lots to duplexes, condominiums and small apartment buildings, and contemporary rebuilds on narrow lots often have several internal flights up to a roof deck. Popeye Moving & Storage, serving Los Angeles since 1994 under CAL T 189749, sees those stairs at the estimate rather than on the day. Salt air and blown sand are constant this close to the water, so goods going into storage go into climate-controlled Vaulted Storage at our Mar Vista warehouse.
