What makes it different02 · Planning notes

Two different moves in one community

Kentfield is not a city. It is an unincorporated community in the Ross Valley, run by Marin County rather than a town hall, and it shares its 94904 ZIP code with Greenbrae next door. Most of its homes fall into two groups, and they load very differently.

On the valley floor, near Corte Madera Creek and Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, the streets are fairly level and the houses sit on ordinary residential lots with a driveway in front. These moves are mostly about traffic and timing.

South of the boulevard the land climbs into Kent Woodlands, where larger homes sit on wooded hillside lots along roads that curve and switch back as they gain height. Up there the questions are how close a truck can get, whether it can turn around, and how many steps lie between the parking spot and the front door.

A Kentfield moving checklist

Two to three weeks before your move:

Tell us whether you are on the flats or up in Kent Woodlands. It changes the truck we send and how many people we bring.
On the hill, check where a truck can stop and turn around. A cul-de-sac or a wide driveway apron helps; a narrow switchback may mean a smaller shuttle truck.
If the truck has to stand in a public road, ask us to check the Marin County rules for your street, since Kentfield roads are county roads.
Count the steps from the parking area to the entry, and from the entry to the bedrooms. Hillside homes often have both.
Measure heirloom pieces such as armoires and hutches against the tightest door, and tell us which ones come apart.
Pick a start time outside the morning and afternoon rush on Sir Francis Drake.
Clear the driveway and garage the night before so the crew can stage close to the door.

Street notes04 · Block by block

Kentfield, area by area

Kentfield is small, but where your home sits on the map decides how the day goes:

Sir Francis Drake Boulevard: the main artery of the Ross Valley, busy most of the day. Homes facing it usually load from a side street or a driveway rather than the boulevard itself.
The flats near Corte Madera Creek: level streets and driveways. These are the most straightforward Kentfield moves.
Kent Woodlands: narrow, winding roads with grades and tight turns. We check the route ahead of time and plan for a smaller truck where the full-size one will not fit.
Toward Ross: the lanes get narrower and more shaded, and parked cars can leave little room to pass, so we keep the truck stop short.
Toward Greenbrae and US 101: traffic builds near the freeway at commute hours, which is why we set the drive time with care.

Kentfield
moving FAQ.

Can a full-size moving truck get up into Kent Woodlands?

Often, but not always. Some roads are too narrow or have turns too tight for a large truck. In those cases we bring a smaller truck and shuttle between it and the house.

Who sets the parking rules in Kentfield?

Kentfield is unincorporated, so most public roads are Marin County roads. If the truck has to stand in the street, we check the county's current rules for your address.

What does a Kentfield move cost?

It is hourly: $145 for 2 movers, $175 for 3 movers and $235 for 4 movers, with a 3-hour minimum, plus packing materials if used.

Can you move antique furniture?

Yes. Tell us about heirloom pieces when you book. We wrap them in blankets, take apart what comes apart, and carry the rest as one piece with extra hands.

How long does a Kentfield move take?

It depends on the size of the home and how close the truck can park. A small house on the flats can fit inside the 3-hour minimum; a large hillside home usually takes most of a day.
