Piedmont in Context
Piedmont by the Numbers
Piedmont is a small city in Alameda County, entirely surrounded by Oakland, with roughly 11,000 residents. Set in the hills above Oakland, it is known for its large early-twentieth-century homes, its quiet tree-lined streets, and Piedmont Park at its center.
The Piedmont Story
Piedmont incorporated as its own city to stay independent of Oakland and has remained an affluent residential enclave of stately homes ever since. Streets like Highland Avenue wind past large houses and well-kept gardens, the park anchors civic life, and the city has almost no commercial district. It is old money, quiet, and green.
What Moving Day Looks Like in Piedmont
Piedmont moves are estate-scale jobs on hilly, winding streets, so we plan parking, carries, and protection for large, often historic homes. Narrow lanes and mature landscaping call for careful truck staging. Discretion and care are standard, given the value of the homes and their contents.
On the narrow, winding Piedmont lanes, crews plan exactly where the truck stages and protect the mature gardens and stone walls along the path. Many homes have grand staircases and fine finishes that get full padding before anything moves.
