Moving in Sunland-Tujunga: what we handle for you

Sunland and Tujunga are two adjacent communities in the City of Los Angeles, located in the foothills northeast of the San Fernando Valley. They are bounded by the Angeles National Forest to the north and connected to the rest of the Valley via the 210 freeway. The area is known for its outdoor lifestyle — hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding are popular along the Big Tujunga Canyon. The housing stock includes 1950s bungalows, hillside cabins, and larger homes with mountain views. It has a laid-back, artsy community character distinct from the rest of the Valley. Moving to Sunland-Tujunga involves navigating canyon roads and hillside driveways. Some properties require smaller trucks due to road width restrictions. Our team assesses access before move day. Best Movers LA serves Sunland, Tujunga, Shadow Hills, and all surrounding foothill communities. We are insured for all LA city moves.

Access, parking and permits in Sunland-Tujunga

Because Sunland-Tujunga is part of the City of Los Angeles, the truck’s curb space runs through LADOT — Special Traffic Control Division, (213) 485-2298 — not a building manager or HOA, and the signs must be up before move day to be enforceable. We confirm the current fee and lead time when you book.
