Family house moves in Sunset Park, with garages, lofts and converted studios surveyed before the price is written
About Residential Moving in Sunset Park
Moving in Sunset Park, Santa Monica's southeast quarter of post-war family houses between Pico Boulevard, Lincoln, Centinela and the airport. Popeye Moving & Storage surveys garages, lofts and converted studios so the written price matches the house.
Sunset Park covers the southeast corner of Santa Monica, from Pico Boulevard south to the Los Angeles line and from Lincoln Boulevard east to Centinela Avenue, in ZIP code 90405. Ocean Park Boulevard, Pearl Street, Marine Street, Ashland Avenue, 23rd Street and Cloverfield Boulevard cross a flat grid of small lots, many with rear alleys, and Santa Monica Airport sits on the eastern edge beside Airport Park. The houses are mostly 1940s to 1960s single-family homes, often remodeled, with second-storey additions and accessory units on some lots. Compared with Santa Monica's apartment districts, this is straightforward ground for a moving crew: driveways, ordinary street parking and no building management to negotiate.
Local Issues
Common Residential Moving Issues in Sunset Park
Garages and lofts left off the inventory
Long-tenured family homes hold far more in garages, lofts and sheds than a room-by-room list suggests, and that is where estimates go wrong.
Converted garages
A garage turned into a studio or living space changes what is being moved and can take away driveway space the truck would otherwise use.
Summer school-break demand
Families book the gap between school years, so summer dates in Sunset Park fill earlier than the rest of the year.
Airport-side traffic
Streets nearest Santa Monica Airport carry their own traffic patterns, which affects start times and drive time.

What we offer in Sunset Park
Our Residential Moving Services in Sunset Park
Local Residential Moving in Sunset Park
A local move is mostly about access: stairs, driveways, parking and building rules decide how long it takes. We look at both homes before quoting so the estimate reflects the real job. The price is set in writing before anything goes on the truck.

An apartment move is decided as much by the building as by the furniture. Elevator windows, certificates of insurance and loading rules set the shape of the day. We find out what both buildings require and plan the move around it.
Learn more →Long Distance Moving in Sunset Park
A long-distance move falls under one of two rulebooks, depending on whether it crosses a state line. Popeye holds the authority for both and tells you which applies to your move. Estimates are free, and a guaranteed binding price is available after a video survey.

Moving later in life usually means leaving a long-time home, choosing what fits in a smaller space and working with family who may live far away. We plan the move around the person moving, at a pace they set. Every California move gets a written price with a Not To Exceed figure before anything is loaded.

Local Tips
Residential Moving Tips for Sunset Park Residents
Clear a path from the rear garage to the driveway before moving day so the crew is not working around parked cars and bins.
Confirm your address is on the Santa Monica side of the line, since homes across it follow Los Angeles parking rules.
If you are remodeling, book storage at the same time as the move so pickup and return dates line up with the builder's schedule.

What Customers Say About Our Residential Moving in Sunset Park
Real reviews from Sunset Park and nearby Santa Monica neighborhoods.
“I asked for employees at the Marine Park curb, not a crew from a parking lot. Marine Park showed up with a numbered truck and a lead who had a card.”
“I manage a 48-unit building in Santa Monica. We have constant turnover. Popeye has become our go-to - they understand building protocols, submit COIs quickly, and coordinate elevator blocks so we do not have conflicts. The crews are efficient and respectful of common areas. They have done 12 moves for us in the past year and every one has been smooth.”
“Last store closed because of the unassigned yard slot 4. Supplies still hit the yard first.”
Residential Moving in Sunset Park - FAQs
Often not. Santa Monica advises but does not require Temporary No Parking Signs if the truck is not parked overnight (9pm to 6am) and a legal space can be found, and many Sunset Park homes have a driveway. If you want the curb reserved, the steps must be finished at least 24 hours before the start, the permit is picked up in person at City Hall East or City Hall Historic, and Traffic Services inspects the signs between 72 and 24 hours ahead. A reservation can run up to 72 hours.
Full-service packing in the Los Angeles area typically runs $600 to $1,500 for a three-bedroom. That is a typical range, not a quote. The contents of the garage, loft and any outbuilding make a real difference, so your price is set in writing after we see the house, with a Not To Exceed figure on a move inside California.
Yes. Popeye offers free in-home and video estimates. In Sunset Park we suggest including the garage, any converted studio, the loft and sheds, because that is where volume hides. A video survey can also lead to a guaranteed binding price.
It can. A converted garage usually holds furniture rather than boxes, and it may mean the driveway is shorter or the truck has to work from the street or rear alley. Tell us at the first call and show it at the estimate so the crew size and truck position are planned correctly.
Yes. Popeye stores household goods in vaulted storage at its own climate-controlled warehouse in Mar Vista, with no minimum or maximum term. Crews load your goods into vaults at the Mar Vista warehouse the same day they are picked up, and bring them back when the work is done.
Summer between school years is the busiest window for families here, so dates fill earlier. If you can move outside the summer break, choice is wider. Either way, a mid-morning start avoids school drop-off traffic and, with double drive time on local California moves, keeps travel charges down.
