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.
You should schedule your move date as early as you can. If you’re moving locally, at least 1-2 weeks in advance, for long-distance moves, we recommend getting a quote at least 2-4 weeks before your move date.
You can choose any convenient day for your relocation, and yes, we can help you move on weekends and holidays.
A safe relocation is our goal, so we’ll provide you with a detailed list of items that are prohibited to transport. It includes perishables, hazardous materials, firearms, batteries, etc. We also don’t recommend packing your personal and irreplaceable items, including family heirlooms, family photos, jewelry, documents, etc. Carry them with you during the move.
We accept cash, all major debit and credit cards, and certified checks. We don’t accept personal checks. There will not apply any transaction fee on card transactions.
Yes, we’ll contact you prior to delivery. We’ll deliver your belongings within the given moving arrival window. In case the window is no longer possible, we’ll also contact you in advance and set another delivery time.
Buena Park, on the northwest edge of Orange County, did most of its growing in the 1950s and 1960s. The city's Housing Element counts 38.6 percent of its homes as built in the 1950s, against 13.3 percent across the county, and only about 2 percent date from 2010 or later. In a house from that era the crew measures sofas and dressers against the hall before carrying, pads the door frames and takes bed frames apart rather than forcing a turn.
Single-family homes are about two-thirds of the housing stock, and city code keeps vehicles off front lawns: garages, carports and paved driveways only. So the truck stays at the curb or on the drive, and the crew lays runners up the walk instead of backing across the grass. For local movers in Buena Park, the loading path at a house starts from that rule.
Multifamily housing makes up roughly a third of the stock, and zoning keeps most of it low: two stories and 35 feet in the multifamily zones, or 15 feet within 50 feet of a single-family zone, unless the city grants a conditional use permit. An upper unit in an older complex tends to mean a stair carry, so the crew pads the railing and puts two people on each heavy piece; our apartment moving crews set the load order around that stairwell.
The exceptions are newer mixed-use buildings: the city has approved four- and five-story projects such as Clark Commons at Orangethorpe and Stanton avenues and On Beach on Beach Boulevard. Their associations and managers set their own move rules, so get the allowed hours, the elevator booking and any certificate of insurance request in writing; a COI from SOS is $50.
Buena Park sweeps its streets Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to noon in some neighborhoods and noon to 3 p.m. in others, with no street parking during the posted window. The catch: the "No Parking – Street Sweeping" signs go up at neighborhood entrances, so the one that governs your block may be a few turns away. Read it where your tract meets the main street and tell us the day and hours, because no Buena Park moving company can park through a sweeping window.
Weekends sidestep the problem, since sweeping never runs on Saturday or Sunday. The trade-off is price: Friday through Sunday rates are higher than Monday through Thursday, and Friday is the one day that brings both weekend pricing and a sweeping window.
Nor is a loading zone a fallback. Buena Park's traffic code limits loading zones to commercial vehicles and a short stop, which suits a parcel van, not a household load. If you're also packing your own trailer or motor home at the curb, it needs the city's RV permit from the police department, which offers a two-day loading and unloading version for the space in front of your home.
Beach Boulevard carries the city's Entertainment Zone: Knott's Berry Farm at 8039 Beach Boulevard, Soak City, Medieval Times, Pirates Dinner Theatre and The Source, which by the city's count draw millions of visits a year. For homes on the side streets off Beach, the crew fixes the approach and the curb spot before the truck rolls, and weekend and holiday crowds near the parks go into the timing.
The north end is a different job. Most of Buena Park is flat, the city's hazard review notes, but the Coyote Hills slope, and the Los Coyotes Country Club area north of Malvern Avenue and east of Beach sits on uneven ground, with zoning for larger hillside and golf-course lots. On a sloped lot the crew walks the route from truck to door first, then moves heavy pieces on dollies and straps with someone on the downhill side.
| Area or home type in Buena Park | What to plan for on moving day |
|---|---|
| 1950s or 1960s tract house | Sweeping day from the sign at the tract entrance; truck at the curb or on the driveway, never the lawn |
| Two-story complex in a multifamily zone | Stair carry to upper units; ask where a truck may stand relative to the gate |
| Four- or five-story mixed-use building on Beach Boulevard or Orangethorpe Avenue | Elevator reservation and COI through management; loading spot confirmed in advance |
| Los Coyotes Country Club area and the Coyote Hills | Sloped lots and longer carries; route walked before the first piece moves |
| Side streets off the Entertainment Zone | Visitor traffic near Knott's; approach and curb spot fixed ahead of time |
| Mobile home park (RMH zone, 1.4 percent of homes) | Private internal roads; ask the park office where the truck can stand |
The city describes its economy as a commercial base, a tourist trade and a well-established manufacturing and distribution base, and its housing plan notes a decline in stand-alone office development. For office movers in Buena Park, the office may be the front of a warehouse, a suite in a retail center or a floor in a mixed-use building, so ask the landlord which door and hours the move may use. The crew pads workstations and file cabinets and labels by room; the commercial moving service page covers the rest.
The truck leaves the base at 5530 Jillson Street in Commerce and takes the I-5 south through La Mirada; Buena Park is the first Orange County city past the county line. That's about 13.9 miles, around 19 minutes without traffic. The city's planning documents call the I-5 and the 91 heavily traveled, and weekday rush hours can stretch the drive well past that.
SOS crews work 8AM – 6PM, Monday – Sunday. Both of Buena Park's sweeping windows fall inside that day, which is why the sign at your tract entrance matters for a morning start and an afternoon start alike.
Buena Park sits well inside 30 miles of the base, so the standard 3-hour minimum applies rather than the 4-hour one for farther addresses, and overtime starts after 8 hours. For a Buena Park booking, keep one more line from the rates page in view: double drive time applies to moves over 10 miles.
La Mirada borders Buena Park on the north and is the last Los Angeles County city on the I-5 before the county line; see our La Mirada moving page. Cerritos lies on the west side, also in Los Angeles County, so a Cerritos–Buena Park move changes counties and city parking rules in one short drive: moving to or from Cerritos. To the east, the Coyote Hills behind Ralph B. Clark Regional Park continue as Fullerton's West Coyote Hills, and hillside addresses there get the same slope planning; see the Fullerton moving page.
