Moving to Golden Hill

Old homes, big views, close to downtown

Golden Hill sits on a hill between downtown and Balboa Park. It’s one of San Diego’s oldest neighborhoods, with Victorian and Craftsman homes, skyline views and a small strip of restaurants on 25th Street.

Older homes and small apartment buildings sit close together on steep streets. Many homes are more than 100 years old, and parking is the thing locals mention most.

Historic homes, skyline views and steep streets between downtown and Balboa Park. Parking is the tough part.

Parking is the tough part

Locals say parking is the hardest thing about Golden Hill, especially around 28th and 30th. Interior blocks and streets near 25th tend to be easier. Plan where the truck goes before moving day.

Live on a steep block?

Golden Hill earns its name. On a steep street, turn the truck’s wheels to the curb and carry bins down slopes instead of rolling a full stack.

Home up a flight of stairs?

Lots of older homes sit above the sidewalk. Stack full bins at the top of the steps, carry them down one at a time and load the dolly at the bottom.

Stack bins at the top, load the dolly at the bottom.

Street sweeping day?

Sweeping tickets are enforced here. Check the posted sweeping day on your block before you park the truck or your car.

Close to the 94 and I‑5

The freeways are right there, so a truck can get downtown or north fast. Plan your exit around rush hour on the 94.

Loading the car too?

Keep laptops, bags and anything valuable out of sight in the car while you go back and forth. It’s a good habit anywhere in central San Diego.

Keep valuables out of sight.

Pre-1900 home, narrow halls?

Golden Hill has some of the oldest homes in San Diego, with narrow halls and tight turns. Bins stack and don’t crush, so they’re easier to carry around tight corners than worn-out boxes.

Golden Hill questions

Is delivery included in Golden Hill?

Yes. Golden Hill is within 10 miles of our home base in City Heights, so delivery and pickup are included in every package.

Is Golden Hill hard to move in?

The hills and street parking are the tricky parts. Plan where the truck goes, and carry bins down steep slopes instead of rolling a full stack.

My front door is up a flight of stairs. Where do you drop off?

We deliver to your door or the curb. If your door is up a long flight of steps, you can pick the bottom of the stairs or another safe spot.

Do you bring the bins inside?

We deliver to your door or the curb. We don't go inside, so pick a spot near your entrance, porch or alley.

Do I need to be home for delivery?

Someone 18 or older can meet us, or choose a safe spot ahead of time and we'll leave the bins there.

How far ahead do I need to book?

48 hours ahead works for most moves. Booking more than 40 bins? Give us 7 days. Moving faster than that? Text us at (858) 208-0051 and we’ll tell you what we can do.

What if I need the bins longer?

Ask for an extension at least 24 hours before your pickup. Extra weeks are $40 to $85, depending on your package.

What can't go in the bins?

No food and nothing hazardous. The next family will thank you.

Moving in Golden Hill? The bins can be the easy part.

Pick your dates and we'll bring the bins and a dolly. Not sure how many? Use the bin calculator.

Ten-second sizing

How many moving boxes do you need?

Tell us about the place you're leaving, not the one you're going to. We'll size the package for you.

Home size of the place you are leaving
How much stuff, honestly? Pick the packing style that matches you.
Anything that eats boxes? Check all that apply.

Counts are for our 27-gallon plastic boxes. If you're between sizes, go up. Extra boxes are $5 each and empty ones are easier than a last-minute cardboard run. Live plants ride loose, not in boxes, so we don't count them.
