From Lake Merritt to the hills, a move for every Oakland
Oakland is the largest city in the East Bay and one of the most diverse in the country, a major port city with deep cultural roots and a character that shifts block by block. It wraps around Lake Merritt at its center and climbs from the flats and the waterfront up into the wooded Oakland Hills.
The Port and Jack London Square line the estuary, neighborhoods like Rockridge, Temescal, and Montclair each carry their own identity, and the hills hold winding view streets above grids of bungalows and Victorians. With roughly 440,000 residents, Oakland is a full city in its own right, not a suburb of anywhere.
Moving in Oakland spans flatland bungalows, lakeside condos, and hillside homes with tight, winding access. Royal Moving & Storage handles all of them.

Our Moving Services in Oakland
Local Movers
For a move within Oakland, we match the crew and the truck to the home and the streets near the Oakland Hills. Our local movers handle the loading, the careful carry, and the placement, so nothing is rushed and nothing gets dinged on the way out.
Residential Movers
From condos to family homes, Oakland residential moves are matched to the property, not a generic checklist. Our residential movers pad the floors and doorways at both ends, take apart what needs it, and rebuild it at the new place.
Commercial Movers
Offices and shops in Oakland need a move measured in downtime, not just boxes, so our commercial moving is planned as a project. We map the new floor, label by destination, and move after hours so the team walks into a working space.
Long Distance Movers
Leaving Oakland for another state, we run the move on dedicated transport with a flat price and a real delivery window. Our long-distance movers never broker your load, so the crew that packs your home is accountable for it the whole way.
Furniture Movers
For the one piece that needs careful handling in Oakland, our furniture moving service wraps, carries, and places it exactly where you want it. Pianos, safes, and oversized items are our routine, not our exception.
Storage Services
When the dates do not line up, our storage picks up, inventories, and holds your Oakland belongings in secure storage, then delivers them back. It runs on a full inventory, so you always know what is held and can get it back on demand.
What Oakland Gets With Royal Moving & Storage
Pricing in Writing
Your Oakland price is set in writing before the truck arrives, based on what we actually see in the home. That means no hourly-meter anxiety and no renegotiating the cost halfway through the day.
A Dedicated Coordinator
You get one person who knows your Oakland move from start to finish, not a call center. They handle the logistics behind the scenes, so your only job is to point the crew at the right rooms.
A 4.9-Star Crew
Our Oakland moves are handled by trained, background-checked crews, and a 4.9-star average reflects how they treat a home. These are full-time movers who know how to pad a stairwell and protect a doorway, not casual day labor.
Licensed and Insured
Your Oakland move is backed by full coverage and our CAL-T 191476 license, so your belongings are protected the entire way. Licensing also means we follow the rules on estimates, claims, and handling.
Special Moments from Our Moves
Oakland in Context
Oakland by the Numbers
Oakland is the largest city in the East Bay and the seat of Alameda County, with roughly 440,000 residents. It wraps around Lake Merritt at its center, runs from the Port and the flats up into the Oakland Hills, and includes neighborhoods from Rockridge and Temescal to Montclair and Jack London Square.
The Oakland Story
Oakland is a big, diverse port city with deep cultural roots and sharply different neighborhoods. Lake Merritt anchors the center, the Port and Jack London Square line the estuary, and the hills hold winding view streets above bungalow-filled flats. Districts like Rockridge, Temescal, and Montclair each have their own character.
What Moving Day Looks Like in Oakland
An Oakland move depends entirely on the neighborhood. The flats and lakeside are a workable grid, while the Oakland Hills bring steep, narrow, winding streets where we scout access and bring the right truck. Older homes add narrow staircases, and busy commercial strips need parking planning.
In the Oakland hills, crews check turnarounds and bring a shuttle where a full truck cannot fit the lane. Around Lake Merritt and the busier districts, we reserve loading zones and time the move to dodge the worst congestion.

Beyond Oakland, our crews cover Emeryville, Berkeley, the East Bay, and communities right across the Bay Area.
