Moving in Santa Teresa01 · The neighborhood

Suburban South San Jose at the foot of the hills

Santa Teresa is in the far south of San Jose, named for the Santa Teresa Hills that rise along its western side. Most addresses are in ZIP 95119, with some blocks toward Blossom Valley in 95123. Santa Teresa Boulevard is the main road through the area, and the VTA light rail line ends at Santa Teresa station, near Highway 85.

The hills themselves are largely open space inside Santa Teresa County Park, which has hiking and riding trails and a historic ranch site. Blossom Valley is to the north, Edenvale is to the east, Almaden Valley is on the far side of the hills to the west, and the farmland of Coyote Valley opens up to the south. US 101 and State Route 85 are the freeways most moves use to get in and out.

Housing stock02 · What we carry through

Family houses built for cars, not trucks

Two-story tract homes

Most of the neighborhood is single-family subdivisions, and a large share of the houses have two floors with the bedrooms upstairs. Beds, dressers and mattresses come down a staircase that often has a turn at the landing.

Single-story ranch homes

Older streets include one-level houses with an attached garage. No stairs inside, but long hallways and a lot of rooms on one floor to work through.

Townhome and condo complexes

Several complexes in the area have private streets, assigned parking and an HOA. Ask the management office whether there are move rules or approved hours before you set a date.

Full garages

Family homes here tend to have garages packed with tools, bikes, sports gear and storage shelves. Garages take longer than most people expect, so sorting them early is the best way to keep the hours down.

Access03 · Truck and curb

Curving streets, courts and driveways

Parking is rarely the hard part in Santa Teresa, but a few things still shape the day:

Most homes have a driveway that can take the truck or sit right beside it. Move the cars out of the driveway and off the curb in front of the house before the crew arrives.
Cul-de-sacs and courts are common. A large truck needs room to turn around at the end, so tell us if your court is narrow or if neighbors usually park around the circle.
In townhome complexes with private streets, the HOA decides where a truck can stop. Get that answer from management early.
If the truck does need a city curb for the day, San Jose's Department of Transportation issues a Tow-Away Permit. Allow about two weeks to get it in place.
School drop-off and pick-up times bring heavy traffic to streets near schools. A start time outside those windows helps if you live nearby.

Common moves04 · Move types

Bigger homes, smaller homes and the space between

A lot of Santa Teresa moves are family moves: a growing household trading up to a bigger house in Almaden Valley, or empty nesters moving out of a two-story into a single-level home or a townhome in Blossom Valley. These are short drives, so most of the time is spent loading and unloading. See local moving for how we handle moves within the Bay Area.

If you are selling first and buying later, packing and storage lets you clear the house without rushing into the next one. For a full-service pack, see packing services. Moving out of state? Visit long-distance moving.

Santa Teresa moving cost05 · Pricing

$145per hour · team of 2 movers

We charge by the hour with a 3-hour minimum: 2 movers at $145, 3 movers at $175 and 4 movers at $235, plus packing materials only as used. A full two-story house with a loaded garage usually calls for 3 or 4 movers, and we recommend a crew size when we quote.

Every full-service move includes floor protection, moving blankets, tape, wardrobe boxes, and taking apart and reassembling beds, tables and other furniture that needs it. China cabinets, glassware and other fragile pieces can be packed by our crew, or you can pack them yourself and we handle the rest. More detail is in the moving cost guide.

moving FAQ.

Will a moving truck fit in my cul-de-sac?

Usually, yes. If the court is narrow or crowded with parked cars, we may stop at the entrance or bring a smaller truck. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

How many movers does a two-story Santa Teresa home need?

Most full houses take 3 or 4 movers, depending on the number of rooms, the stairs and how full the garage is. We suggest a crew size up front.

How much does a Santa Teresa move cost?

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

Do townhome complexes in the area have move rules?

Many do. Check with your HOA or management office about approved hours and where the truck can park, and we plan around those rules.

Can you pack the kitchen and the garage?

Yes. We can pack the whole house or only the rooms you choose, and packing materials are billed as used.
