About Residential Moving in West Torrance
Moving in West Torrance, the 1950s and 1960s tract neighborhood west of Hawthorne Boulevard by the Redondo Beach line. Popeye Moving & Storage confirms the city first, since Torrance and Redondo Beach treat moving trucks very differently.
West Torrance covers the 90503 ZIP west of Hawthorne Boulevard, framed by 190th Street, Pacific Coast Highway and the Redondo Beach line, with Sepulveda Boulevard, Del Amo Boulevard and Anza Avenue as the cross-town routes. Most of it is 1950s and 1960s single-family tract housing on quiet curving streets, with driveways, attached garages and front lawns, some larger rebuilt houses, and apartments and townhomes along the arterials. On most streets the job is driveway to door with a short carry. The western and southern edges rising toward the Palos Verdes foothills and the Hollywood Riviera are the exception, with steeper, winding streets and sloped driveways where a smaller shuttle vehicle may be planned in.
Local Issues
Common Residential Moving Issues in West Torrance
The Torrance and Redondo Beach permit split
Torrance permits oversized vehicles through its Police Department, while Redondo Beach does not issue moving truck permits, so the address decides the plan.
Summer booking pressure
School-year timing concentrates family moves into the summer weeks, which book up well ahead.
School-run traffic
Drop-off and pick-up traffic around the local schools affects start times and drive time on term days.
Garage conversions and full lofts
Converted garages and decades of storage in lofts and sheds change both the inventory and whether the driveway can be used.
Foothill edges
Streets toward the Palos Verdes foothills and the Hollywood Riviera bring grades and tighter turns that may need a shuttle vehicle.

Residential Moving in West Torrance - FAQs
In Torrance, permits for parking an oversized vehicle on a public street for a limited time come from the Torrance Police Department, applied for through the Torrance Online Citizen Portal or at 3300 Civic Center Drive; the ordinance is published as covering vehicles over roughly 20 feet long, 7 feet wide or 8 feet high. Redondo Beach says it does not issue permits or temporary no parking for moving trucks, though its Engineering Department permits PODs on the street. We confirm which city your address is in before planning.
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 shed make a real difference, and 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 and video estimates, and a video survey can lead to a guaranteed binding price. Walk the camera through the attached garage, the loft and any converted garage space, since that is where long-held homes usually keep the most.
As early as you can. Many West Torrance families plan their move for the break between school years, so those weeks fill first. If your dates fall in term time, a mid-morning start after the school drop-off is usually the easier window on the surrounding streets.
It may. Most of West Torrance is flat, but the edges rising toward the foothills and the Hollywood Riviera have winding streets and sloped driveways with less turning room. Where a full-size truck cannot stand safely, a smaller shuttle vehicle is planned and priced at the estimate.
Yes. Torrance has a long-established Japanese corporate presence, and relocations into the area are a regular part of the work. We provide itemized written quotes in plain language so the employee and the company can both follow what is included. Our Corporate Relocation service covers these moves.
