Holmby Hills is the third corner of the Platinum Triangle, alongside Bel Air to the north and Beverly Hills to the east. It is also the most private of the three. The neighborhood is small, only about 400 acres of dedicated estate land. The homes here are some of the largest in the City of Los Angeles, set on lots that run up to four acres, behind long driveways and mature landscaping. Sunset Boulevard cuts through the middle, splitting Holmby Hills into a northern half and a southern half, each with its own homeowners’ association.
The streets themselves are part of the character. Devon Avenue, Charing Cross Road, Conway Avenue, and the rest carry names borrowed from places in Britain. The English-style streetlamps that line them were installed for this neighborhood specifically in the 1920s. The setting is park-like and quiet, with most of the city’s busiest commercial corridors a short drive away rather than at the doorstep. That setup shapes how a move here works. Long driveways, set-back homes, large-volume residences, two different HOAs depending on which side of Sunset the property sits, and Sunset itself to plan around for timing.
Royal Moving & Storage works in Holmby Hills and the surrounding Westside often. Before quoting, we walk through the home, the driveway, the access, and the side of Sunset, the property sits on. From there, we book the truck and crew, coordinate with the homeowners’ association, and pull the LADOT permit ahead of time. The result is a move that runs cleanly from the first box.
A move within Holmby Hills, or over to Bel Air, Beverly Hills, or Westwood, is short in miles but shaped by the access. Long driveways, set-back homes, Sunset Boulevard traffic, and the HOA rules on either side all set the pace. We bring a truck sized to the street, plan the route from the driveway to the door, and arrange the LADOT permit and any HOA notice in advance. Local moves come at one transparent price, set before any loading starts.
A four-acre estate north of Sunset, a large family home south of Sunset, and a property with a separate guest house or pool house are all Holmby Hills addresses, and each calls for its own plan. The estate may run as a multi-day load. The family home may have rooms spread across separate wings. The guest house adds another building to fit into the sequence. Every property here gets its own walk-through and plan before move day.
Holmby Hills itself is almost entirely residential, but many residents run businesses out of nearby Westwood, Century City, Beverly Hills, and Brentwood. When a business in any of those offices relocates, the downtime is the real expense. We fit the move into your operating hours, evenings and weekends among them, and get your team set up at the new address quickly.
A relocation out of state earns the same care here as a job across the Westside. You get an assigned crew, a full inventory drawn up before loading, a price agreed from the start, and a delivery window to plan around. The same crew carries the shipment through to delivery, and we never broker it out. Holmby Hills households relocating across the country get a move handled at the level the property deserves.
Holmby Hills homes hold a great deal of substantial furniture: full formal dining sets, grand pianos, large case pieces, designer sectionals, art, antiques, and high-end outdoor pieces from the pool deck and patio. Each item is wrapped, padded, and strapped down before it leaves the room. Thick moving pads, stretch wrap, floor runners, and door jamb guards are standard on every job. Anything fragile or valuable gets a dedicated handling plan, set with you well in advance.
Holmby Hills moves often come with a gap: a renovation that runs long on a large estate, a sale that closes before the next property is ready, or a relocation handled in phases across multiple homes. We secure your belongings in a climate-controlled storage facility and bring them back once you are ready. The pace is up to you, whether that runs a few weeks or several months.
The size of the estate, the driveway, the access, any outbuildings, and the distance of the move all factor into your quote before we begin. Whatever we agree on at booking is what you pay at the close, with no surprise charges added on.
The same coordinator runs your move from the first call through the last box, holding your home, the HOA details, the LADOT permit, the schedule, and your inventory on file. You will not be shuffled between agents in a call center.
Our reviews sit in plain sight on Google, Yelp, and the BBB. The reviews keep returning to the same handful of points: the crew arrived on time, treated the home and its contents with care, and held the final bill to the quote.
We carry a California moving license CAL-T 191476, and every job is covered for cargo and liability. If the Holmby Hills Homeowners Association, the Holmby Westwood Property Owners Association, your insurer, or a building elsewhere requires a certificate of insurance, we have it ready before the day.
Holmby Hills is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, not a separate city. The rules for a move here come from the Los Angeles Department of Transportation rather than the local city hall. The neighborhood covers about 400 acres at the western end of the Westside. It sits within the broader Westwood community plan area. Sunset Boulevard runs through the middle as the main route. Beverly Glen Boulevard runs along the west, and Charing Cross Road, Mapleton Drive, and Carolwood Drive are among the named interior streets. Holmby Hills borders Bel Air to the north and Beverly Hills and Beverly Crest to the east. The Los Angeles Country Club lies to the west, and Westwood to the south.
The neighborhood is almost entirely residential and very low-density. Large estate lots can run up to four acres, with grand mansions set well back from the street. The portion north of Sunset uses the 90077 ZIP code and is overseen by the Holmby Hills Homeowners Association. The portion south of Sunset uses 90024 and is overseen by the Holmby Westwood Property Owners Association. English-style streetlamps installed for the neighborhood in the 1920s still line the streets. Holmby Park, deeded to the city by the Janss Investment Company in the 1920s, sits between Mapleton Drive and the surrounding blocks. With Bel Air and Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills forms the Platinum Triangle, often considered the most private of the three.
The land was home to the Tongva people, and during the Mexican era, it sat within Rancho San Jose de Buenos Ayres. Later, it became part of the Wolfskill Ranch, a 3,000-acre Westside agricultural holding. In 1919, Arthur Letts Sr., the British-born founder of The Broadway and Bullock’s department stores, bought more than three thousand acres of the former ranch. His plan was for a master-developed district of retail, apartments, homes, estates, and a university. That vision became Westwood, Holmby Hills, and the UCLA campus.
Letts carved out about 400 acres as a dedicated estate section. He named it Holmby Hills after Holdenby, the small English village where he had grown up, reusing the name he had already given his Hollywood estate. He died in 1923 before he could see it built out. Development passed to his son-in-law, Harold Janss, and the Janss Investment Company, which had master-planned the rest of Westwood. The Janss family zoned the estate section for very large lots and named the streets after places in Britain. They added the English-style streetlamps that still mark the neighborhood. After the 1929 crash, the grand mansions that define Holmby Hills today went up. The neighborhood settled into the role it still holds as the quiet corner of the Platinum Triangle.
Holmby Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles, so a move here follows city rules through LADOT rather than a local city hall. For larger moves, LADOT issues temporary no-parking permits that hold curb space at the address, arranged and posted in advance. The neighborhood’s quiet residential streets generally accommodate the truck without difficulty. The permit keeps the loading point exactly where it is needed, especially along the busier blocks near Sunset Boulevard.
The estates themselves are what set this work apart. With lot sizes that can run up to four acres, the driveways are long. The homes are large and set well back from the street. The carry from the truck to the front door runs farther than on a typical Los Angeles block. So we plan the staging and the path in advance and bring enough floor runners to protect the route. Many properties have separate guest houses, pool houses, or detached garages that need their own load order. The sheer volume of furniture in a Holmby Hills home often means a multi-day move done across crew shifts.
Sunset Boulevard adds the other layer. The road runs heavily at most hours of the day, and any move on or near it has to be timed to the traffic. The HOA on each side of Sunset is different. North of Sunset, the Holmby Hills Homeowners Association handles community matters. South of Sunset, the Holmby Westwood Property Owners Association does. We work with whichever applies to your address on any notice or insurance requirement specific to the property. Because many residents are public figures, we work with the discretion the neighborhood calls for. We handle the permit, the HOA coordination, and the truck size ahead of move day, so nothing slows the job once the crew is on site.
Holmby Hills moves carry cost variables that smaller homes do not: gated mansion grounds with long approach drives, fine art and antiques that need crating and extra protection, and multi-level estates with grand staircases all affect crew size and time on the job. We factor all of it into the quote we give you upfront, so the price is clear before you book. The ranges below are typical starting estimates for a local Holmby Hills move, and your exact price is confirmed before booking.
| Move Size | Typical Crew | Typical Cost Range* |
