About Long-Distance Moving in Bungalow Heaven
Bungalow Heaven is Pasadena's first landmark district, about 125 acres of early 1900s Craftsman bungalows between Washington and Orange Grove Boulevards and Lake and Hill Avenues, centered on McDonald Park.
Bungalow Heaven became Pasadena's first landmark district in November 1989. It covers roughly 125 acres bounded by Washington Boulevard on the north, Orange Grove Boulevard on the south, Lake Avenue on the west and Hill Avenue on the east, with McDonald Park on East Mountain Street at its center and the Santa Catalina Branch Library on its northern edge. The landmark status controls exterior changes to the houses, not moving, so it places no limit on your move. What it does tell a crew is that these are original, cared-for homes.
Local Issues
Common Long-Distance Moving Issues in Bungalow Heaven
Front steps and the porch turn
Raised foundations, deep porches and low porch roofs slow every large item, and none of it shows up on an inventory list.
Narrow original doors
Period front doors and hallway openings can be too tight for modern sofas and wardrobes without a planned route or disassembly.
Fragile period finishes
Original hardwood floors, art glass, built-ins and old hardware need padding and floor protection from the first trip in.
Tight rear driveways
Detached garages at the back of long, narrow driveways are a good loading spot but limit what size of vehicle can reach them.
Low branches and narrow streets
Mature street trees and parking on both sides can block a tall truck, which is why the route is checked before the day.

Local Tips
Long-Distance Moving Tips for Bungalow Heaven Residents
Count your front steps and measure the front door before the estimate, and mention any side or rear door that opens wider.
Ask whether a truck of 25 feet or less can do the job, since in Pasadena that size needs no moving permit and clears low branches more easily.
Open the detached garage, attic hatch and any garden shed for the survey so stored items are counted in the price.

Long-Distance Moving in Bungalow Heaven - FAQs
Only for a larger truck. The City of Pasadena does not require a moving permit for vehicles 25 feet long or less, but does for vehicles 26 feet or longer, and it asks for applications 10 days before the move or an expedited fee is added. Popeye has insurance on file with the City of Pasadena, so it qualifies for the two working day minimum for permit issuance, compared with the two weeks the City asks others to allow. Temporary No Parking signs must be posted at least 24 hours ahead and registered with Parking Enforcement to be enforceable.
In the Los Angeles area, local residential moving typically runs $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck. If you have antiques or art glass that need care, fine art and antique moving typically runs $300 to $1,200+. These are typical ranges, not a quote. Your price is set in writing before anything is loaded, with a Not To Exceed figure on a move inside California.
Yes. Popeye offers free in-home estimates and free video estimates. For a Craftsman bungalow, showing us the front steps, porch, doors, rear driveway, garage, attic and any shed gives the most accurate number. After a video survey we can give a guaranteed binding price.
No. Bungalow Heaven's landmark designation governs exterior changes to the houses, not moves. The normal City of Pasadena parking rules for moving trucks apply, the same as anywhere else in the city.
Original Craftsman doors are often narrow, and the low porch roof and posts limit the angle for turning a large piece. We measure the door and porch at the estimate and check whether a side or rear door is a better route. Where a piece truly will not fit, Furniture Assembly & Disassembly lets the crew take it apart and rebuild it at the new home.
Often, yes. Many Bungalow Heaven lots have a rear garage at the end of a long, narrow driveway. We check the driveway width and length during the estimate to decide whether the truck, or a smaller vehicle, can use it, or whether loading from the street is more practical.
