Moving in South San Francisco01 · The city

The Industrial City, and a lot of houses on the hill

South San Francisco sits on the bay side of the Peninsula, just south of San Bruno Mountain and the city of Brisbane. Locals call it South City. The big white letters on Sign Hill, spelling out SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO THE INDUSTRIAL CITY, look down on the downtown blocks around Grand Avenue. The whole city shares one ZIP code, 94080.

US 101 runs along the east side of town, Interstate 280 runs along the west, and Interstate 380 links the two near the San Bruno line. El Camino Real cuts through the middle. San Bruno is to the south, Daly City and Colma are over the hill to the north, and San Francisco International Airport is just to the southeast. East of 101, toward the bay and Oyster Point, the land is mostly offices, labs and industrial buildings rather than homes.

Housing stock02 · What we carry through

Downtown houses, west-side tracts and apartments

Older homes near Grand Avenue

The streets around downtown are the oldest part of the city: smaller houses close together on a flat grid, many with a few front steps and a narrow side yard. Furniture often comes out through the front door rather than a garage.

Hillside tract homes

West of El Camino Real, neighborhoods such as Westborough, Sunshine Gardens, Buri Buri and Winston Manor are rows of post-war single-family homes on slopes. Many put the garage at street level with the living space above, so the stairs are inside.

Apartments and condos

Complexes along El Camino Real and near the South San Francisco BART station range from older two-story walk-ups to buildings with elevators, a leasing office and set move hours.

Small offices

Some South City moves are a lab or office desk set rather than a house. For those, see commercial moving and corporate relocation.

Access03 · Truck and curb

Where the truck goes in South City

Most houses here have a driveway, but a driveway in front of a garage on a slope is not always a place to load. What we plan around:

Steep driveways on the west-side hills: a loaded truck is safer on the level street than nosed down a sloped drive. We park along the curb and run a ramp to the sidewalk.
Downtown blocks are parked up on both sides, and Grand Avenue is a busy shopping street. For homes on or near it, we look for space on the nearest residential side street.
If the truck has to hold curb space, the City of South San Francisco sets the rules for public streets. Ask the city, or ask us and we check them with you before the date.
Wind is part of the job. Afternoon gusts are common across South City, so we keep mattresses, mirrors and tall boxes wrapped and under control between the door and the truck.
US 101, Interstate 280 and Interstate 380 all back up at commute hours. We set the start time so the truck is not crossing the Peninsula at the worst of it.

Common moves04 · Move types

Next door to San Francisco, close to everything else

A lot of South City moves are short: out of an apartment in San Francisco or Daly City into a house on the hill, or from a family home in Westborough into a condo near El Camino. Others head down the Peninsula to San Bruno, Millbrae and San Mateo. Our local moving crews cover all of it.

The airport and the freeways also make South San Francisco a common stop on longer moves. If you are leaving the state, see long-distance moving. If the old lease ends before the new one starts, packing and storage holds your things at a flat monthly price.

South San Francisco moving cost05 · Pricing

$145per hour · team of 2 movers

Moves are billed 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 ground-floor apartment often suits a smaller crew than a hillside house with stairs up from the garage.

Every full-service move includes floor protection, moving blankets, tape, wardrobe boxes, and taking apart and putting back together furniture that will not fit through a door in one piece. The moving cost guide explains what adds hours and what saves them.

South San Francisco
moving FAQ.

Can the moving truck use my steep driveway?

Usually we park on the street instead. A loaded truck on a sloped drive is hard to keep steady, so we stop at the curb on level ground and carry from there.

Do I need a parking permit for a South San Francisco move?

It depends on your block and how long the truck needs the curb. The City of South San Francisco sets the rules for its streets, and we check them with you before move day.

What does a South San Francisco move cost?

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

Can you move me from San Francisco to South City?

Yes. It is a local move, billed hourly with the same 3-hour minimum.

Do you move offices and labs east of 101?

We move offices, desks and office furniture. Tell us what is in the space and whether the building has a loading dock, and we plan the crew around it.
