Van Nuys is the most populous neighborhood in the entire San Fernando Valley, and it has been the Valley’s civic and commercial center since the Art Deco City Hall went up in 1932. That density is the thing that defines a move here. Around the Van Nuys Boulevard and Sherman Way core, the great majority of housing is apartments, much of it renter-occupied, on busy streets with permit parking, shared driveways, and no loading docks. This is a neighborhood where the move turns less on the size of the home and more on the building it sits in.
That said, Van Nuys is big and varied. The apartment-dense center gives way to single-family blocks toward the Valley Glen and Sherman Oaks edges, with quieter streets and driveways, and the eastern and central stretches run into the commercial and industrial corridors around the airport. An apartment turnover near Sherman Way, a house move on a cul-de-sac near Sherman Oaks, and an office relocation off Van Nuys Boulevard are three genuinely different jobs.
Royal Moving & Storage moves all of Van Nuys, and a central Valley location like this one is a natural hub: easy to reach from every direction, and well placed for a move anywhere across the region. We look at the building and the street first, plan the access and parking, and have it sorted before move day.
A move within Van Nuys, or out to neighboring Sherman Oaks, Valley Glen, Lake Balboa, or Panorama City, is short in miles but full of detail: a parking permit on a busy apartment street, a stair carry in a walk-up, and timing around the Van Nuys Boulevard corridor. We handle that coordination and roll it into one flat rate set before we load the first box.
Van Nuys housing runs from studio and one-bedroom apartments to the single-family homes on the quieter blocks near the Sherman Oaks and Valley Glen edges. Each is a different move. The apartment turns on stairs, tight parking, and a building access window. The house turns on driveway access and the right truck for the street. We assess each property before move day.
Van Nuys is one of the Valley’s busiest business districts, with the government offices of the Civic Center, the retail and dealerships along Van Nuys Boulevard, and the warehouses and light industry around the airport. When one of them relocates, downtime is the real cost. We schedule around your hours, work within building access windows, and get your team running again quickly.
A central, diverse neighborhood like Van Nuys sees people moving in and out constantly, and some of those moves leave the state. When they do, we handle them with the same care as a job across town: dedicated transport, a full inventory, a fixed price, and a delivery window you can plan around. We keep the job in house rather than handing it to a broker.
From a first apartment’s worth of furniture to the contents of a full house, our crews wrap and pad every item as standard, with premium pads, stretch wrap, floor runners, and door jamb protection. That protection earns its keep in tight apartment stairwells and narrow walk-up doorways. Anything fragile or high in value gets a handling plan we agree on with you first.
Van Nuys moves often come with a gap, a lease that ends before the next one starts, a household moving in stages, or a renovation that clears a place for weeks. We collect from your Van Nuys address, hold everything in a secure, climate-controlled facility, and redeliver on your schedule. Short term or long term, the timeline is yours.
Permits, stairs, building access windows, tight apartment parking, these are the variables that turn a loose estimate into a bigger bill elsewhere. We quote the whole job up front, those variables included, and the number holds on move day.
You work with the same person from the first call to the last box. They know your building, your parking, your access window, and what is on your inventory, instead of a call center with rotating staff.
Our 4.9-star rating comes from more than 27,800+ verified customers across Google, Yelp, and the BBB. The themes that repeat are the ones that count on move day: on time, careful with everything, and no daylight between the quote and the final price.
We operate under a California moving license CAL-T 191476 with full cargo and liability coverage on every job. If your apartment building or HOA needs a certificate of insurance before the move, we file it ahead of time.
Van Nuys is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles in the central San Fernando Valley, about 17 miles northwest of downtown, and the most populous neighborhood in the Valley. Because it is part of the City of Los Angeles, city ordinances and LADOT permits govern a move here, not a city hall of its own, even though Van Nuys serves as the Valley’s government center. It sits at a genuine crossroads, with the 405, 101, 170, and 118 freeways all within reach and Van Nuys Airport, one of the busiest general-aviation airports in the world, on its western side.
The neighborhood is dense and mixed. The core around Van Nuys Boulevard and Sherman Way is heavily apartment, with a large share of renters and one of the most diverse populations in the city. Van Nuys Boulevard itself is a full commercial corridor of dealerships, restaurants, and retail, and the Civic Center holds the 1932 Valley Municipal Building and the cluster of government offices around it. Toward the edges, the housing shifts to single-family blocks near Valley Glen and the Sherman Oaks border, while the central and eastern sections run into the industrial and commercial zones around the airport. Van Nuys is bordered by North Hills, Panorama City, Valley Glen, Sherman Oaks, and Lake Balboa, the last of which was carved out of Van Nuys itself.
The southern Valley was ranch land owned by Isaac Newton Van Nuys, a farmer and businessman who held tens of thousands of acres of wheat fields. In 1909, a syndicate including Hobart Johnstone Whitley and Harry Chandler bought a vast stretch of the Valley, and on February 22, 1911, they launched the new townsite with a now-famous promotion: a free train ride out to the dusty site, a Washington’s Birthday barbecue, a patriotic speech, and an auction of lots. A trainload of buyers came, the lots sold in an afternoon, and the Los Angeles Times called it the beginning of a new era for the Southland.
The town was named for Isaac Van Nuys, and its growth was secured in 1915 when it was annexed to Los Angeles after the completion of the Los Angeles Aqueduct brought the water the Valley needed. The Pacific Electric red cars made Van Nuys their first new Valley stop, the first Valley high school and first Valley bank opened here, and the 1932 City Hall confirmed the town as the Valley’s civic anchor. From wheat fields to orange groves to a dense, working, diverse center of the San Fernando Valley, Van Nuys has been the Valley’s hub for more than a century.
Because Van Nuys is part of the City of Los Angeles, the rules that touch a move come from the city. For larger moves, LADOT issues temporary no-parking permits that reserve curb space at the address, and those need to be arranged and posted in advance, which matters a great deal on the busy, permit-parked apartment streets around the core.
The buildings are the main event here. With so much of Van Nuys made up of apartments and walk-ups, stair carries, tight stairwells, narrow doorways, and shared or limited parking are the everyday realities of a move, and many buildings set their own move-in windows and want a certificate of insurance on file from management. We coordinate the building access and the elevator or stair plan in advance so the move keeps to schedule.
Beyond the apartments, the single-family blocks near the edges bring driveway access, and the usual house-move considerations, and the commercial corridor along Van Nuys Boulevard means traffic worth timing around. We line up the permits, the building coordination, and the right truck size before move day, so none of it stalls the job once we are on site.
