About Storage Solutions in Belmont Shore
Belmont Shore is the low beachside grid between Ocean Boulevard and Livingston Drive in Long Beach, ZIP 90803, built around Second Street. Narrow streets, busy alleys, street sweeping and a three-ton residential limit shape every move.
Belmont Shore is the low grid between Ocean Boulevard and Livingston Drive in eastern Long Beach, all within ZIP 90803. Second Street is its commercial spine, running east toward Alamitos Bay and Naples, and short avenues such as Granada, Roycroft, Nieto and Bay Shore cross it and run down to the sand near Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier and Rosie's Dog Beach. The housing is small beach bungalows and duplexes, 1920s and 1930s apartment buildings with no lift, and contemporary rebuilds on narrow lots that rise several internal flights to a roof deck. Front steps and narrow original doors slow the older buildings, while the new houses carry more than their floor count suggests.
Local Issues
Common Storage Solutions Issues in Belmont Shore
Three-ton residential limit
A loaded truck usually exceeds the city's residential weight limit, so it cannot simply park on the block.
Preferential parking zones
Guest permits cover cars, pick-ups, vans and motorcycles only, not a moving truck.
Posted street sweeping
Each side is swept on a set day between 5am and 4pm, and a truck parked in the window is cited.
Crowded Second Street
Restaurants, bars, shops and summer beach traffic fill parking all day and into the night.
Tight, busy alleys
Rear alleys are the natural loading route but are hard for a full-size truck to use.

What Customers Say About Our Storage Solutions in Belmont Shore
Real reviews from Belmont Shore and nearby Long Beach neighborhoods.
“Frost on the citywide Long Beach overflow 3 at dawn. Grit, boards, Long Beach slate intact.”
“Espresso machine, dough sheeter, and the Signal Hill gate after last seating. Retail restaurant moving in Signal Hill left the hood filters in a crate, not a trash bag.”
“Headquarters split into two floors over a weekend. They mapped the Signal Hill curb on Friday and the Signal Hill badge readers worked Monday.”
Storage Solutions in Belmont Shore - FAQs
Not without planning. The City of Long Beach states that commercial vehicles over three tons may not park in residential areas, and a loaded moving truck is typically heavier than that. The city issues a Temporary Oversized Vehicle Parking Permit, with an annual limit on permits and 24 hours required between consecutive permits. A resident's guest permit in a preferential parking district does not cover a moving truck. Confirm the current process and any fee with the city; we check the position for your block during the survey.
A one-bedroom apartment local move typically runs $350 to $650 in the Los Angeles area, with hourly work at $150 to $200 per hour for a two-person crew and truck. These are typical ranges, not a quote. A walk-up building, a vertical rebuild or a shuttle from the alley is priced at the estimate, and on a move inside California the total is set in writing with a Not To Exceed figure before anything is loaded.
Yes. Video estimates are free, and so are in-home estimates. A video walk-through works well for a duplex or an apartment, and after a video survey Popeye can give a guaranteed binding price. Show us the stairs, the front door and the alley so the route is part of the price.
Long Beach sweeps each side of a street on a posted day within a window between 5am and 4pm, and a truck parked there in that window will be cited. Read the signs on your actual block the day before, and tell us the sweeping day so the truck is placed on the other side or outside the window.
Often, but the alleys are narrow and shared with residents, rubbish collection and deliveries, and a full-size truck can struggle to enter or reverse out. A smaller vehicle running several trips to the main truck is frequently the correct method here, and we decide that at the estimate.
It is a sensible choice. Contents from beachside homes are exposed to salt air and humidity, which act on timber, leather, rattan and upholstery. Popeye's Vaulted Storage is at our own warehouse in Mar Vista, climate controlled for temperature and humidity, with crews handling the vaults and no minimum or maximum term.
