Moving in the Sunset01 · The neighborhood

Avenues, alphabet streets and the ocean

The Sunset fills the southwest corner of San Francisco between Golden Gate Park and the area around Stern Grove and Lake Merced. Ocean Beach and the Great Highway form its western edge. The Inner Sunset, near the park and UCSF's Parnassus campus, is mostly ZIP 94122, and the blocks to the south toward Parkside are mostly 94116.

The grid is easy to read. Numbered avenues run north to south, and the cross streets run roughly in alphabetical order going south from the park: Irving, Judah, Kirkham, Lawton, Moraga, Noriega, Ortega and onward to Taraval and beyond. Nineteenth Avenue carries State Route 1 through the district, and Sunset Boulevard runs down the middle of the Outer Sunset. Muni's N Judah and L Taraval lines run along the streets they are named for. The Richmond sits across the park to the north.

The Sunset row house

01

Living space above the garage

Most homes were built in long rows from the 1920s through the 1950s, with the garage at street level and the living floor above it. Furniture either climbs the front steps or goes up an interior stair from the garage.

02

Front steps

Many homes have a run of exterior stairs from the sidewalk to the front door. They are usually straight, which helps, but a long run adds trips. Count the steps for us when you request a quote.

03

Garage staging

The garage is often the best loading point. Clearing a path through it the night before, and moving the car out, lets the crew stage boxes inside and out of the weather.

04

Flats and in-law units

Some homes have a second unit on the ground floor or a converted space behind the garage. Tell us if you are moving out of one, since the entrance can be a side gate or a narrow passage.

Access03 · Weather and parking

Fog, driveways and the curb

The Sunset is calmer to drive than downtown, but every row house has a driveway cut, and that shapes where a truck can stop.

Common moves04 · Move types

Families, roommates and moves across the park

Moves in the Sunset range from a single room in a shared house to a full family home, and from one avenue to the next to a move across Golden Gate Park into the Richmond. For anything in the Bay Area, see local moving. Scooters, bikes and garage gear get wrapped and loaded like furniture.

Garages here tend to collect years of storage. If you are downsizing, packing and storage gives you somewhere to hold what does not fit yet. For a move out of state, see long-distance moving.

Heading somewhere else in the city?

The Richmond across the park has a similar mix of row houses and flats. Noe Valley and Bernal Heights, east of Twin Peaks, bring steeper streets and older homes.

Sunset District
moving FAQ.

Can you load from my garage instead of the front steps?

Usually, yes. If the garage connects to the living floor by an interior stair, loading through it is often easier than the front steps. Clear a path and move the car out before the crew arrives.

Do I need a parking permit in the Sunset?

Not always, but driveways leave short gaps of curb on most blocks. The SFMTA authorizes temporary no-parking signs to reserve a stretch for the truck. Apply a week or more ahead and confirm current posting rules and fees at sfmta.com.

How much does a Sunset District move cost?

$145-185 an hour for a team of 3 movers, 3-hour minimum, plus packing materials used. The rate depends on date and availability.

Will fog or rain damage my furniture?

Furniture is wrapped in moving blankets for the carry and the drive. Well-taped boxes also help. In heavy rain we talk through timing with you before move day.

Do you move scooters and bikes?

Yes. We wrap them and load them with the rest of the household. Let us know about them when you request a quote.
