What packing looks like in Santa Monica homes

Santa Monica is mostly apartment and condo living, with older multi-unit buildings in Ocean Park and Mid-City and single-family homes north of Montana Avenue and in Sunset Park.

Rooms that are easy to underestimate include garages, basements and closets — Moves heading east toward downtown Los Angeles use I-10.

Supplies and timing

Ask the company you book whether it brings boxes, tape and wrap or expects you to supply them. Packing a day or two before loading keeps the moving day itself shorter.

Packing help in Santa Monica: common situations

Kitchens and fragile items

Glassware, plates, and small appliances are where packing time and breakage risk concentrate. This is the room most people hire out.

Packing the day before loading

Boxed and labeled beats loose and scattered. A pre-packed home loads faster, which shortens the hourly crew time on moving day.

Short-notice and job-relocation moves

When the date moved up, packing help is the fastest way to buy back time you no longer have.

Seniors, injuries, and busy households

Sorting and boxing a lifetime of belongings is slow, physical work. Extra hands make it manageable.
