What makes it different02 · Planning notes

A quiet residential pocket next to Hillsborough

Baywood is one of San Mateo's long-established neighborhoods, west of El Camino Real where the ground starts to rise toward Hillsborough. The houses sit back from the sidewalk under old trees, and the neighborhood is overwhelmingly single-family homes, so almost every Baywood move is a house move.

That makes the house itself the plan. Many homes have two stories with the bedrooms upstairs, older wood floors and staircases with a landing or a turn. Driveways are common, but some are narrow, shared with a side path, or lined with plantings that a truck should not back over.

Downtown San Mateo, with its shops and the Caltrain station, is a short drive east across El Camino Real. Many Baywood moves go only a short distance: to a condo downtown, a house in Hillsborough or Burlingame, or across Highway 92 to the south side of the city.

A Baywood moving checklist

Work through this two to three weeks before the move:

Decide where the truck should stand: the driveway, if it is wide and level enough, or the curb in front of the house.
If the truck needs curb space held, the City of San Mateo sells temporary No Parking signs at the Public Works counter at City Hall. Ask whether they apply to a moving truck, or let us check for you.
Measure armoires, sideboards and other tall pieces against the front door and the stair turn.
Mark which antiques and family pieces need extra wrapping or a custom crate, so we bring the right materials.
Clear the path from the front door to the street, including garden furniture and low branches.
If you are moving into a condo, ask the building about move hours, the elevator and a certificate of insurance. We provide the COI.
Plan for pets and children to be out of the way while doors stay open.

Street notes04 · Block by block

Street notes for Baywood

What we keep in mind around the neighborhood:

Turning room: some blocks leave little space to turn a large truck around. We check the route in and out before the day.
Mature trees: low limbs over the curb and the driveway can limit where a tall truck can stop.
El Camino Real: heavy traffic on the east edge. We avoid turning across it at the busiest times.
Near the Hillsborough line: the ground slopes up, and some driveways are steeper than they look from the street.
School-day traffic: drop-off and pick-up hours add cars to nearby streets, so we time arrival around them.

Baywood
moving FAQ.

How do I reserve parking for a Baywood move?

The City of San Mateo sells temporary No Parking signs at the Public Works counter at City Hall. Ask whether they apply to a moving truck. On many Baywood lots, the truck can use the driveway instead.

What does a Baywood move cost?

$145 an hour for 2 movers, $175 for 3 movers and $235 for 4 movers, with a 3-hour minimum, plus packing materials used.

Can you move antique furniture safely?

Yes. Every piece is wrapped in moving blankets, and fragile parts such as glass doors and mirrors are removed and packed separately when possible.

Will a large truck fit on my street?

On most Baywood streets, yes. Where parked cars or trees make it tight, we choose a different spot or a smaller truck, and we check that before move day.

Can you move me from Baywood to a condo downtown?

Yes. It is a short local move. Send us the condo building's move rules and any certificate of insurance request ahead of time.
