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.

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.
Tujunga, the Los Angeles neighborhood in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, grew on its own terms. It began as the Little Landers colony, whose stone Bolton Hall went up in 1913, incorporated as a town in 1925 and approved consolidation with the City of Los Angeles in 1932. In 1919 the California Home Extension Association started selling small lots with no building restrictions at all, and owners built as they pleased. For movers in Tujunga, that means the house next door is no guide, so our crew lead walks the path from each room to the truck before anything gets wrapped.
Stone is the other local signature. In the 1910s and 1920s many residences here were built of local arroyo stone, and the city's historic survey calls these houses a building type particular to this part of the Valley; it also records arroyo-stone retaining walls, steps and planters. On stone steps the crew hand-carries instead of bumping a dolly down, and stone pillars and porch edges get padded before the first dresser goes past.
The slopes are a different job. The same survey maps a Haines Canyon/Mistletoe Road historic district of 16 two-story post-and-beam houses from 1955 to 1957, set on the hillside with sliding-glass doors, upper-story porches and no curbs or sidewalks. With no curb to work from, the truck stops at the pavement edge, furniture is staged on the driveway, and the big glass panels are covered before a sofa passes them.
The 1950s ranch tracts are more predictable. The Amanita Avenue, Marnice Avenue and Creemore Drive historic districts, about 150 houses between them, have concrete curbs, sidewalks and uniform setbacks, and Creemore is lined with mature liquidambar street trees. Here the truck parks at the curb, and the only extra check is for low limbs before it backs in.
| Part of Tujunga or house type | What to plan for on moving day |
|---|---|
| Haines Canyon Avenue hillside, 1950s post-and-beam | No curbs or sidewalks, and parts of the street are on the Red Flag map. Stage on the driveway, cover the glass sliders. |
| Amanita, Marnice and Creemore ranch tracts | Curbs, sidewalks and even setbacks. Curbside loading; check parkway trees for low limbs. |
| Arroyo-stone houses from the 1910s and 1920s | Stone steps and retaining walls. Hand-carry over the steps, pad the stonework. |
| Commerce Avenue shops north of Foothill Boulevard | 1920s storefronts built right to the sidewalk. Load at the curb and schedule around business hours. |
| Upper Tujunga Canyon Boulevard and Blanchard Canyon Road | Posted Red Flag streets. Check LAFD's status the day before. |
LAFD lists Tujunga among the communities with land in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and that sets its most local parking rule. On a declared Red Flag Day, parking is banned on posted streets in the zone, and vehicles left there are towed. The city's Red Flag street map includes stretches of Haines Canyon Avenue, Blanchard Canyon Road, Sister Elsie Drive and the upper end of Tujunga Canyon Boulevard, and we never plan a truck spot on a posted curb during an alert.
The alerts follow the weather. The city declares a Red Flag Day when winds reach 25 mph and humidity drops to 15% or less, and LAFD's history puts the average at four to seven such days a year. During the December 2024 alert, the restrictions took effect at 8:00 AM and ran for 24 hours, the same hour our working day starts. For a Tujunga address on a posted street we check lafd.org/redflag the day before, and if an alert is on, the truck goes to the driveway or an unposted side street, or we move the date with you.
On an ordinary day the question is plain curb space. Because Tujunga is part of Los Angeles, the contact for temporary no-parking signs is LADOT's Special Traffic Control Division, not Glendale or the county next door, and a reserved stretch of curb is worth it on the flat grid around Commerce Avenue. If a condo or townhome manager asks for a certificate of insurance, SOS issues one for $50.
What we ask you to prepare before a Tujunga move:
Every SOS crew leaves from our only base, at 5530 Jillson Street. The run to Tujunga is I-5 north, SR-2 through Glendale, then I-210 west along the foot of the mountains: about 23.8 miles, around 33 minutes without traffic. That freeway has shaped the town before: the city's survey says access to the newly finished 210 and its shorter commute downtown helped draw developers here in the late 1960s and 1970s.
Weekday rush hours slow the SR-2 and 210 legs in the morning and again late in the afternoon, and the drive can run well past that figure. Moves run inside the 8AM – 6PM window, so on a hillside job we set the start time with traffic in mind: the hours are better spent on the slow carry from a no-curb street than in a freeway queue.
Tujunga is under 30 miles from the base, so the standard 3-hour minimum applies, with overtime after 8 hours. The rates page sets one more rule for the road: double drive time applies to moves over 10 miles. A shorter hop, say from the canyon streets to a ranch tract across town, is booked as one of our hourly local moves with the same 3-hour minimum.
Tujunga shares the Crescenta Valley with La Crescenta, and Foothill Boulevard, Tujunga's main commercial street, carries on east through La Crescenta, where county planners count it as one of two main commercial corridors. For a move along that line, our La Crescenta movers page covers the other end. LAFD's Red Flag map stops at the Los Angeles city line, so the parking check at a La Crescenta address is a different one.
Glendale is the other direct neighbor: its city line runs along Tujunga's eastern edge, and SR-2, the Glendale Freeway, is the middle leg of every drive up from the base. The Glendale moving page covers that side of the line.
The Commerce Avenue storefronts, where the 1920s buildings sit right at the sidewalk, are work for our commercial moving crews. If a Red Flag Alert pushes your date, SOS can take a same-day move when a crew is free, which keeps moving services in Tujunga flexible when the wind forecast turns.
