Single-story ranch homes, full garages and easy freeway access between Campbell and Los Gatos. Most moves here are about volume, not stairs.
Call toll free1-877-417-6060Cambrian Park, often just called Cambrian, sits on the west side of San Jose in ZIP 95124, with Campbell to the north and west, Los Gatos to the southwest, and Willow Glen and Almaden Valley close by. Camden Avenue, Union Avenue, Hillsdale Avenue and Leigh Avenue are the main roads, and State Route 85 cuts across the area with State Route 17 just to the west.
That freeway access is one of the neighborhood's best features for moving day. A truck can reach almost any Cambrian street quickly from 85 or 17, so the drive time on a local move is usually short.
Cambrian grew fast in the 1950s and 1960s as the orchards of the Santa Clara Valley gave way to new subdivisions. The result is block after block of single-story ranch homes on generous lots, with attached garages, wide driveways and backyards that often have a patio, a shed or two, and a lot of outdoor furniture.
That makes Cambrian moves different from a hillside or high-rise job. There are rarely many stairs, the driveway is usually right there, and the truck can sit close to the front door. The time goes into volume. A family that has been in one house for twenty or thirty years has filled the garage, the attic space and the shed, and those are the rooms that turn a one-day move into a long one.
Many of these homes have been expanded over the years with second stories, family rooms or converted garages. A remodeled ranch can have a staircase or a tighter hallway that the original plan did not, so we ask about additions when we quote.
85 backs up during the commute. A move that starts early and finishes the drive before the evening rush saves time on the clock.
Highway 17 carries heavy traffic to and from Santa Cruz on summer weekends. If your move heads toward Los Gatos or over the hill, a weekday is easier.
Several schools sit on or near the main Cambrian roads. Drop-off and pickup times slow traffic on those blocks.
Most Cambrian streets are wide with driveways, so the truck can usually park close. Clear the driveway and the curb in front of the house the night before.
Most of the hours you can save on a Cambrian move are in the garage and the yard:
A lot of moves out of Cambrian stay close: to a smaller home in Campbell, a condo in Los Gatos, or another San Jose neighborhood. Others are moves in, from apartments elsewhere in the South Bay into a first single-family home. These are classic local moves, billed by the hour.
