Your apartment moving cost depends on factors, such as the type and size of your property, the complexity of your move, the number of bedrooms, the volume of your items, zip code, etc. At SOS Moving, we offer flat and hourly rates. The hourly rate depends on the number of movers to be involved and the size of the moving truck. Flat rate is based on the volume of belongings you need to move, and it’s the best option for long-distance moves. To know your moving cost, please contact us or submit a form on our website to request your free quote.

For local movers in Azusa, the decade a house went up says more about the job than its square footage. In housing data compiled by SCAG, the regional planning agency, the 1950s are the biggest single decade for Azusa homes by year built, 22 percent of the stock, while the region as a whole peaked in the 1970s. Nearly half of the city's 14,651 units are detached houses. Hallways from that era run tight for today's sectionals and king beds, so the crew takes off legs, rails and, when needed, interior doors before the carry, and lays runners from the front door to the driveway.
Rosedale is the newer side of town. The master-planned community on the old Monrovia Nursery land was authorized for 1,250 homes, and not all of them are detached: Sage Court and Parsons Place are three-story townhome neighborhoods, Arborview is two-story. On three floors every dresser and mattress rides an interior staircase, so banisters and landings get padded along with the furniture. The city describes Rosedale's public streets as 36 feet wide with parallel parking on both sides. A double-parked truck would close a lane there, so it needs the curb spaces in front of the unit, kept clear before the crew arrives.
Mountain Cove sits at the opposite edge: about 327 single-family homes in three developments, the Wildwoods, the Sagewoods and the Copperwood, inside a gated community north of Sierra Madre Avenue and San Gabriel Canyon Road. Many of its streets are courts, so where the truck stops and how it turns around are settled before it drives in. Arrange gate access for the truck with the community association, and if the association wants a certificate of insurance, the COI is $50.
What each kind of Azusa home asks for on the day itself:
| Home type or area in Azusa | What to plan for on moving day |
|---|---|
| 1950s houses, the largest group by age | Tight hall turns: legs, rails and doors come off before the carry; runners from door to driveway |
| Rosedale townhomes (Sage Court, Parsons Place) | Stairs on every trip across three floors; curb spaces on the 36-foot street held for the truck |
| Mountain Cove (Wildwoods, Sagewoods, Copperwood) | Gate access and any COI arranged with the association; truck position on the court agreed ahead |
| Mobile home parks, about 4 percent of the city's units | Private lanes: ask the park office where a truck may stand and for how long |
| Apartments and rentals (nearly half of households rent) | Elevator, if there is one, reserved by the tenant; COI if management asks; sweeping side checked |
Azusa sweeps a street the day after its trash pickup, and it sweeps the two sides on different days; the city's own example puts the south side of a Mason Street block on Thursday morning and the north side on Friday. Signs are posted, the police cite whatever sits in the sweeper's path, and no permit or placard exempts a vehicle. The first line of our parking plan is which side gets swept on your move day, and the truck goes on the other one.
The city also limits how long commercial and oversized vehicles may stand at the curb, and those limits are laid out on our page about commercial moves in Azusa. When a home load will take longer, the resident can apply to the Azusa Police Department for a temporary parking permit for commercial and oversized vehicles, which lets residents exceed the time limits in the city ordinance. It runs through the city's online permit system and needs proof of address, so it goes in your name, filed ahead of the move.
Power and water come from the city's own utility, Azusa Light & Water, which handles both electric and water accounts. It asks for at least two business days' notice to schedule the field visit that turns service on. Its office and phone lines work Monday through Thursday, so for a Friday or weekend move-in, file the request early in the week. Before the crew comes, we ask Azusa clients to have these settled:
From our base on Jillson Street in Los Angeles, the truck runs SR-60 east, I-605 north and I-210 east: about 22.5 miles, around 31 minutes without traffic. Both the 605 and the 210 fill with commuters in the morning and evening peaks. The first slot of the day and a late finish take the heaviest of it; midday is usually the easiest part of our Monday – Sunday, 8AM – 6PM window for this drive. Moving services in Azusa are billed at the same hourly rates as the rest of our local work. The city sits well inside 30 miles of the base, so the minimum is 3 hours rather than 4, and double drive time applies to moves over 10 miles.
That route also explains the neighbors. The I-605 leg runs past Baldwin Park, so Baldwin Park moves use roads the crew has just driven. Citrus Avenue heads south from the Azusa Pacific University end of town straight into Covina, so a Covina move to or from Azusa can stay on surface streets. East along the I-210 and Foothill Boulevard, Azusa borders Glendora, and both roads connect the two cities directly.
Clearing out before a move costs Azusa residents nothing extra. Athens Services, the city's hauler, collects bulky items such as sofas, mattresses, rugs and appliances from single-family and multifamily customers as often as weekly, if the pickup is booked at least 24 hours before your collection day. The city suggests no more than five items per set-out, and electronics do not count as bulky. If you are lining up moving and packing services in Azusa, run that pickup the week before, so our packing crew boxes only what is going to the new address.
Hiring Azusa long distance movers covers the truck, not the utility. Light & Water closes or transfers an account through its online service request. The customer is the one responsible for confirming within a week after the closing date that it went through, and from another state that step is easy to lose. Our long-distance moving service handles loading, the drive and delivery, and eastbound trips leave on the same I-210 the crew came in on.
