Our Los Angeles Apartment Moving Services

Whether you're moving a studio across town or a three-bedroom high-rise unit across the county, we handle every part of the process.

  • Local Apartment Moving in Los Angeles

    We move apartments across Los Angeles County, from Downtown and Hollywood to the Westside and the Valley. Local moves are hourly, crew and truck included.

  • Booked in advance, our crew packs the whole apartment or only the fragile items. Unlike most movers, we also unpack and remove every packing material.

  • Bed frames, sectional sofas, modular shelving, and dining tables that can't move whole are disassembled, protected, and rebuilt. Hardware is bagged by item.

  • If your new apartment isn't ready the day you move out, or downsizing needs time, we coordinate storage alongside your move, short-term or long-term.

    We have moved 5 times in the past 6 years and this one by far was the easiest and smoothest because of Nigel and his crew! They were on time, worked fast and nothing broke during transport. Also, best prices around. Highly recommend this team for your next move!!!!

  • Millie Darrin

    We had a great experience with Ali and Jesus! They were both very friendly, professional, and worked quickly. They took great care of our belongings and were very considerate about where we wanted each item placed. They made the moving process so much easier for us. Thank you, Ali and Jesus!

  • Sarah H.

    Roman, Fedor, and Alex were fantastic! They worked quickly and efficiently, carefully packing, wrapping, and protecting all of our furniture and belongings. They handled everything with great care, and I couldn't have asked for a better moving crew. I also really appreciated how flexible and accommodating the company was when I had to reschedule my move several times due to my house falling out of escrow more than once. Their understanding and professionalism made a stressful situation much easier. I highly recommend both this crew and the company!

  • Lauren Glass

    I was shocked how kind and supportive they were with my move! Very delicate with my stuff, not overly rushed and very efficient. Super considerate about my important items and where I ultimately wanted everything to go. Will be saving their contact for any future moves. Highly, highly recommending to my friends and family! Nigel and Sula were the best

  • Mary Martin

    abdul, Salim and more wonderful timely and experienced I would recommend them. I've used them once before which is why I came back and I will always use them for my moving needs. I can't say enough of how wonderful these people are.

  • Susan Ladd

    Best California Movers truly lived up to their name. They were on time and from the very start I knew I was in good hands. They were extremely courteous, which made me feel at ease. They worked quickly and efficiently. Everything was wrapped and protected, and when they got to my new place, they put everything in order. I would not hesitate in using Best California Movers again and definitely highly recommend them. I shopped around and even from the first phone call got a good feeling. Ivan and Alex and the third gentleman whose name I’m forgetting were exceptional! I am very grateful that they made what is very stressful, easy. Thank you Best California Movers!

  • Sara H.

    This was an amazing move. The guys were professional efficient, and very diligent. They did an amazing job. I can express how happy I am with this move.

  • Arjuna C

    Dmitrii Parii, ***** *****, and their teams provided exceptional service for our 2 bedroom full service local move in ******. To be *****, I was weary of being baited by the *** algorithm and how it handles a company called Best California Movers. One might also be lead to believe they have a suspicious amount of positive reviews. And Im relieved to say I would wager they actually deserve the name. Quoting and Booking:***** *****, with follow up from his colleagues ***** and ********, made it easy to get a quote, have all my questions answered, and finally sign to book with confidence. I had several rounds of questions from initial contact to agreement review and they gave quick and detailed information, such as the cost of materials and boxes, liability for any building damage, and estimation of how long the job would take. Other companies I requested quotes for recommended 2 or 3 crew, but ***** recommended 4 off rip for a speedier move and it turned out to be a great fit for our 2 bedroom local move. The Move: Dmitrii Parii and his team did a remarkable job. Although we moved from a 2BR apartment, we actually have quite a lot of stuff from previously moving from a 3 story house. Weve hired other movers before and Dmitriis team moved the same amount in roughly half the time, and that included disassembly and reassembly of some of our key furniture such as our bed and two standing desks with mounted monitors. His team arrived within the estimated time, worked efficiently even though I offered them snacks and to take a lunch break, and handled all of our belongings carefully. He also came prepared with many tools for disassembly and reassembly. To be honest, I expected this job to take 9-10 hours based on our previous movers and they did it in 7. I also had a fair amount of questions for Dmitrii, including with regard to the final invoice, and he was a great sport about answering all of them.

    Best California Movers provided an outstanding moving experience from beginning to end. Their team arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and handled every item with exceptional care. They packed, wrapped, and transported my belongings with real professionalism, making the entire move smooth and stress‑free. The movers were polite, respectful, and highly organized. They communicated clearly, followed every instruction, and made sure all furniture and boxes were placed exactly where I wanted in my new home. Even the heavy and fragile items were moved safely without any damage. Their pricing was fair, honest, and very competitive for California. There were no hidden fees, and the quality of service was truly impressive. I appreciated their reliability, attention to detail, and the calm confidence they brought to the job. I highly recommend Best California Movers to anyone looking for a trustworthy, efficient, and professional moving company. They made my move easy, fast, and completely worry‑free.

    Tole and the three other gentlemen who moved our home were so efficient, had great communication, upfront about fees and worked so hard with no minute wasted. It was worth every penny we paid for the move. Would use california mover again in a heartbeat!

    My move went great! They moved and wrapped everything. It was just one room to move. But they didn't complain! They got me to my next rental, with no problems at all. I would recommend Best California Movers to anyone!!!

  • Jenna Holmes

    I had the best moving experience with Tole and Stephan! They were efficient and hardworking. They were very careful with all of my items and made sure they were wrapped so that they would not be any damages. I have used this company in the past and will use them again in the future if I move again! I highly recommend.

    Best movers ever!! Love Adam, Denys and Ray. We are in our new place and it's not even 3pm! They moved, set up, assembled everything, and we couldn't be happier. Very professional showed up at the other place on time. Extremely helpful with everything. Moving is never fun, but they made it a great experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  • Lauren W.

    We moved from CA to NV. Can't say enough great things about this company. From quote to move in, everything was seamless, quick responses to my questions, they arrived when they said they would and got everything delivered early the next day when they said they would. They gave us the best quote for the move, the perfect size moving truck and worked like machines. Would recommend them to anyone that's doing a big move.

  • Kim O'Brien

    This is our second time using the Poway team of Best California Movers. I was able to schedule a next day appointment - all online and only took a few minutes. Our movers, Nigel and Sula, were great, even under the circumstances - moving my mother's furniture out of the memory care facility. There are challenges because the unit is locked for the safety of residents and the doors can only stay open for 15 seconds at a time. Thanks so much to everyone!

  • G H.

    I had a great experience with Best California Movers. The entire process was easy. Everyone is professional. No hidden cost. The price is also great. The movers are very careful with the items. They also were able to disassemble and assemble the furnitures without any issue. They also seemed very trustworthy. I also had to use their storage option and that was also a satisfactory experience. I have used their services 3 times now. I would definitely recommend them for moving.

  • Eddie McCoy 2 photos

    These guys are absolutely awesome! They got here on time, professional, and ready to work! Adam, Denys, and Ray are freaking awesome. They got here at 9:30 had no problems finding the place. It's 12:30 and we are already done at the old place and heading to the new house. I highly recommend. No hassles no fuss

  • Daniela L.

    This is my second time using Best California Movers. This second time around Roman and his team helped me out. They were very efficient, asked for direction and had great customer service. They helped me pack up my garage and treated all my items with care. Will be using them again!

How Much Does Apartment Moving Cost in Los Angeles?

Costs vary by unit size, building access, and the services you add. Based on hundreds of LA apartment moves, here are typical ranges:

Move Type Typical Range
Studio apartment $450 – $900+
One-bedroom apartment $650 – $1,300+
Two-bedroom apartment $1,100 – $1,800+
Three-bedroom apartment $1,500 – $2,500+
High-rise / complex building access Add $150 – $400 depending on COI, elevator window, and carry distance

We provide a detailed, itemized estimate upfront. The number we give you reflects your actual move; it's not a generic figure designed to sound low before the real bill arrives.

What affects your final cost:

  • Crew size required for your inventory and building
  • Floor level and elevator versus stair access
  • Carrying distance from your door to the truck
  • Packing and unpacking services added
  • COI requirements, loading dock logistics, or restricted moving hours
  • Long-distance surcharges if applicable

What Makes Moving an LA Apartment Different? Our Approach.

Moving in Los Angeles isn't just about lifting boxes. Apartment buildings here come with their own logistics, and crews that haven't done it before show up unprepared and cause problems for everyone involved.

There may already be building management rules to meet, an elevator window to work within, and paperwork to complete. Loading zones fill up by 9 a.m. High-rise towers restrict moving hours to narrow time windows. Walk-up buildings with tight stairwells and long hallways require different equipment, different crew positioning, and more careful planning than a ground-floor unit. We'll make sure you have all the information you need in advance, so you can properly communicate with your building's management before the move even starts.

Best California Movers has handled hundreds of Los Angeles apartment relocations, from studio units in Koreatown to penthouse condos in Century City. We know what different buildings require, the access issues that can arise, and how to plan so your move goes smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Apartment Moves in Los Angeles

Still have questions? Our support team will be happy to explain everything to you before dispatching the vehicle.

01 Does my building need a Certificate of Insurance from the movers?

Many apartment buildings in Los Angeles, especially high-rises and managed complexes, require a Certificate of Insurance before movers can begin the job. We provide COIs as a standard part of our service. When you book, tell us your building’s requirements so we can issue the documentation in the format it asks for.

02 How far in advance should I book for an LA apartment move?

We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for moves between May and September – peak moving season in California. If you need to move sooner, contact us. We accommodate last-minute scheduling when availability allows, sometimes within a few days.

03 Can you move me if my building has elevator restrictions or limited moving hours?

Yes. We work within your building’s time windows, not around them. Tell us about any building requirements when you schedule your move, whether it’s an elevator reservation, limited moving hours, or loading dock rules. We’ll plan around them from day one.

04 What's the difference between packing and a full unpacking service?

Packing means our crew brings all materials and packs your apartment before the move. Unpacking means we unpack your belongings at the new apartment, place everything where you want it, and remove all packing materials when we’re done. You can add one, both, or neither; your estimate reflects exactly what you’ve chosen.

05 Do you offer financing for apartment moves?

Yes. Our financing options allow you to spread your moving costs over time. Ask about available plans when you request your estimate.

06 What if my building requires an elevator reservation?

Once your building’s elevator window is set, we plan the crew’s work around it and schedule the truck to arrive inside it. If your building requires a COI or any other documentation, we provide that as well.

07 What if something is damaged during the move?

We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Basic valuation protection is included at no additional cost. During your consultation, we’ll explain your options so you can choose the level of protection that best fits your needs.

08 Do you move specialty or high-value items from apartments?

Yes. We regularly handle flat-screen televisions, glass-top furniture, artwork, antiques, and other items that require extra care. Let us know what you have when you request your estimate, and we’ll ensure the crew is prepared.
