Moving and Storage in Linda Vista, Pasadena

Linda Vista is the part of Pasadena west of the Arroyo Seco, with Oak Grove Drive to the north, Colorado Boulevard and the 134 to the south and the Glendale city line to the west. Linda Vista Avenue is its spine, and the Linda Vista Branch Library is on Bryant Street. It is reached across the arroyo by the Colorado Street and Holly Street bridges and the roads climbing up from it. The houses are large and sit on wooded hillside lots, often well back from narrow, winding streets at the end of long private driveways.

On these streets the road chooses the truck. Tight bends, little turning room, stretches with no curb and steep driveways mean a full-size truck often cannot reach, turn or park safely at the house. A smaller vehicle, or a shuttle from a smaller vehicle to a larger truck parked legally further down, is regularly the right method, and we plan and price it at the estimate instead of finding out on the day. A truck of 25 feet or less also needs no City of Pasadena moving permit. When a larger truck is used, Popeye has insurance on file with the City of Pasadena and qualifies for the two working day minimum for permit issuance. Low branches over roads and driveways limit truck height, so we check overhead clearance on the actual route. At the house, entry is often on one level with rooms above or below, plus exterior steps and terraced gardens between the parking spot and the door.

Rose Bowl games, concerts and the flea market bring heavy traffic and closures to the arroyo and the bridges into Linda Vista, so check the stadium calendar before choosing a date. Fire season and winter rain also argue for some slack in a hillside schedule.
