Moving in Burbank: what we handle for you

Burbank is one of the most popular destinations for families relocating from denser parts of LA. The streets are wide, the neighborhoods are safe, and Burbank Unified schools consistently rank among LA County's best.

Magnolia Park is particularly active -- bungalows and craftsman homes on tree-lined streets, easy truck access. Media industry workers make up a large portion of Burbank's population, so moves often involve home offices, equipment racks, and editing workstations.

Rancho Burbank has some steep roads but most of Burbank is flat and straightforward. Downtown Burbank condos along San Fernando Road require elevator coordination.

Local notes: Wide streets and excellent truck access throughout most of Burbank. Rancho area has some hillside roads -- confirm access. Media industry equipment moves common. COI provided for downtown condos.

Moving from Burbank to other LA neighborhoods

Best Movers LA estimates for the moves we run most often from Burbank. Local moves are billed by the hour, and California counts the drive between your two addresses twice, so the distance and the time of day change the total more than anything else. Drive times are off-peak and rush hour (7–10 AM, 3–7 PM).

Access, parking and permits in Burbank

Close to I-5 and the 134, so moves to Hollywood or Glendale are quick.

Most Burbank streets are unmetered — parking is rarely a challenge.

One thing people get wrong about moving in Burbank: it is a separate city, not part of Los Angeles, so the LADOT process everybody reads about online is the wrong process. Curb reservations for the truck are issued by Burbank itself, on the city’s form, at the city’s fee, with the city’s lead time. Best Movers LA checks what is currently being asked against your date rather than assuming, because smaller cities change these quietly.

Burbank sits about 13 road miles north of Downtown LA, but the crew’s trip to you never appears on the bill: California’s double drive time rule charges only the leg between your two addresses, counted twice. At $88/hr for two movers, our most common runs from Burbank add:

From Burbank to	Actual drive	Billed (doubled)	Added at $88/hr
Toluca Lake	4 mi · about 10 min	20 min	$29
Glendale	5 mi · about 10 min	20 min	$29
Atwater Village	7 mi · about 14 min	28 min	$41
West LA & Sawtelle	16 mi · about 32 min	64 min	$94

No fuel surcharge, mileage or call-out fee is added on top.
