Moving in Castro Valley01 · The community

A valley between San Leandro, Hayward and the hills

Castro Valley is not a city. It is an unincorporated community in Alameda County, governed by the county, and it sits in a valley in the East Bay hills between San Leandro to the west and Hayward to the south. Addresses use ZIP 94546 for most of the community and 94552 for the newer neighborhoods to the east.

Castro Valley Boulevard is the main commercial street, and Interstate 580 runs through the valley on its way between Oakland and the Tri-Valley. The Castro Valley BART station sits beside the freeway, and Lake Chabot Regional Park spreads across the hills to the north. Redwood Road heads north out of town into those hills.

Housing stock02 · What we carry through

Ranch homes below, hillside streets above

Mid-century ranch houses

Much of the valley floor is single-story ranch homes with an attached garage and a driveway. No stairs at the entry and a short walk to the truck, so these tend to be the quickest homes to load.

Hillside homes

On the eastern slopes, houses are generally newer and larger, many with two floors, a sloped driveway and a view back across the valley. The stairs are inside, and the grade is outside.

Townhomes and condos

Several communities near the boulevard and the freeway have private streets, assigned parking and an HOA. Ask the management company about move hours and where a truck may stop.

Apartments

Garden-style complexes and small apartment buildings sit near Castro Valley Boulevard and the BART station. Upper units usually mean an exterior staircase, so let us know the floor.

Access03 · Truck and curb

Getting the truck close in Castro Valley

On most streets the driveway does the job. These are the cases that take more planning:

Because Castro Valley is unincorporated, its public roads are run by Alameda County rather than a city. If the truck needs to reserve curb space, the county is who to ask, and on most lots the truck loads from the driveway with no permit involved.
Castro Valley Boulevard carries steady traffic and has businesses on both sides. For homes on or near it, we load from a side street or the property's own parking.
Hillside streets to the east can be steep and curving, and some driveways are too sloped for a loaded truck. We stop on a level stretch, chock the wheels and carry from there.
Townhome complexes with private streets set their own rules about where trucks can stop. Get that answer from the HOA before move day.
Interstate 580 is the route for most moves in and out of the valley. A start time outside the commute hours keeps the drive short.

Common moves04 · Move types

Across the valley, down the hill or over to the Tri-Valley

A lot of Castro Valley moves stay close: a family moving from a ranch house on the flats to a larger home in the hills, or downsizing from the hills to a townhome near the boulevard. Others head west to San Leandro and Oakland or east over the grade to Dublin and Pleasanton. Our local moving service covers all of it.

If you are selling before you buy, packing and storage keeps your things safe between homes at a flat monthly price. For an out-of-state move, see long-distance moving.

Castro Valley moving cost05 · Pricing

$145per hour · team of 2 movers

Our hourly rates: 2 movers $145, 3 movers $175, 4 movers $235, with a 3-hour minimum, plus packing materials used. A single-story ranch house with the truck in the driveway often fits a smaller crew than a two-story hillside home with a steep drive.

Moving blankets, tape, wardrobe boxes, floor protection and furniture disassembly and reassembly are included with every full-service move. See moving cost for what adds hours and what saves them.

Castro Valley
moving FAQ.

Is Castro Valley part of Hayward?

No. Castro Valley is an unincorporated community governed by Alameda County. It has its own ZIP codes, 94546 and 94552, and borders Hayward to the south.

Do I need a parking permit for a Castro Valley move?

Usually not, because most homes have a driveway the truck can use. If the truck must hold space on a public road, check with Alameda County, since the roads there are county roads.

How much does a Castro Valley move cost?

It is billed hourly: $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 a house on a steep hillside street?

Yes. Tell us about the driveway slope and any steps to the door, and we pick a safe, level spot for the truck and size the crew for the carry.

Do you move townhomes with HOA rules?

Yes. Send us the HOA's move rules and any certificate of insurance request, and we plan the truck and timing around them.
