MOVING IN MILLBRAE
Millbrae moves near the station and in the hills
Millbrae is compact but varied. West of El Camino Real, established homes climb the hills on curving streets with sloped driveways and bay views. Along Broadway and El Camino, older homes and small apartment buildings sit close to shops. Around the Millbrae transit station, where BART and Caltrain meet, newer apartment buildings bring elevators, garages, and strict move schedules.
We plan each Millbrae move around its property type. For hillside homes, the estimate covers driveway grade, stairs, and truck placement. For apartment buildings, we gather elevator reservations, move windows, and Certificate of Insurance requirements. Then we put the plan in writing, including timing around airport-area traffic on Highway 101.
Because of its transit station and airport access, Millbrae also sees a lot of moves tied to new jobs and relocations. Many people moving here are coming from other parts of the Bay Area or from out of state, often into a new apartment building near the station. Others are leaving a longtime family home in the hills. We plan both kinds of moves with the same care: a written estimate, a clear schedule, and a trained crew. Our full packing and unpacking services are available for anyone who wants the whole process handled from start to finish.

Hills west of El Camino
Sloped driveways and curving streets are common in western Millbrae. We plan a safe truck position and bring equipment for heavy pieces on grade.

Is moving a hillside home in Millbrae more complicated?

Yes. Moves from Millbrae to Oakland, Berkeley, Fremont, and other East Bay cities are handled as one move with one coordinator, with the bridge crossing timed around traffic.
