Our Crew of Packers Can Also Pack Your Household Partially or Fully

For all those who want our professional packers to take care of their most valuable and delicate items, we’ve created a partial packing service that includes filling a maximum of 15 boxes. This option is most suitable if you’re not sure how to properly pack some belongings or simply want to secure full protection for them, leaving it to professionals.

Another option is going for full packing service, which means we can pack all the items from your household, so you don’t have to lift a finger. This option is most convenient for all those who are planning on moving cross-country at the last minute, need to pack quickly, and want to be sure that everything will be done in time.

Open or Enclosed Trailer: What Is the Best Solution to Ship Your Car?

There are two possible methods for transporting your car, and the solution will depend on your car type and size. Open trailers are intended for the transport of regular-sized vehicles that don’t need any special requirements, and the greatest advantage of this car shipping method is that it is more affordable.

On the other hand, enclosed trailers are the best option if you own a larger or more exclusive four-wheeler that will take some extra space on the trailer, or you want to keep it fully protected from any possible exposure to weather conditions or open road dangers. Of course, since they provide special treatment for your car, they also cost more, so be ready to set aside at least 30% more compared to transport on an open trailer. If you want to decide which type of trailer to choose more easily, check online reviews, and see what others who have used this service said.

Pick-Up and Drop-Off Points Are Another Details to Decide On

There are two available solutions to choose from when it comes to your car delivery. Terminal-to-terminal is the most convenient option for all those who have enough time to dedicate to their car in the middle of their relocation. However, if you’re in the middle of last-minute preparations, don’t want to add another task to your to-do list, or know you will be too busy once you move to another city or country, going for door-to-door pickup and delivery is the most suitable solution for you.

This means that our team will pick up and deliver your vehicle right in front of your doorstep, and the only thing you will have to do is hand them over the keys. Of course, if you have any doubts, don’t hesitate to contact your designated agent, who will explain the whole process in detail.

SM Neighborhoods Offer All the Perks of a Big City Life

Although the housing solutions are not so affordable, whether you want to buy a house or rent an apartment, don’t forget that you’ll be living in the Bay, which, in some way, justifies higher prices. The median price of a house amounts to around $1.5 million. Gorgeous properties overlooking the sea, low crime rates, proximity to major cities on the west coast, and great job opportunities are reasons why people usually choose this place for their home base. Here are the best neighborhoods within the city that will provide you with high-quality housing and living standards:

• Baywood-Aragon is situated near the downtown and is considered one of the most exclusive neighborhoods. Due to its great schooling options, it is top-rated as the best local family-friendly area. If you’re relocating with kids, this location will definitely be the most suitable for your needs. Although Baywood-Aragon is close to the downtown, it still has various green areas and perfectly landscaped parks, so you will be able to enjoy your free time to the fullest.
• Beresford is another centrally located neighborhood that provides great living conditions for families, retirees, or college students. Prestigious schooling options, vicinity to colleges, various parks, and Peninsula Golf and Country Club are highlights of this neighborhood. Beresford is also a great starting point for multiple water activities since it is very close to the Bay, so weekends full of fun are guaranteed here.
• If you prefer living outside of the downtown crowd and noise, then Sugarloaf is the right place for you. Located at a small hill overlooking Bair Island Marine State Park and Crystal Spring Reservoir, an abundance of green areas and fresh air, numerous landscaped parks, and even a dog park are some of the benefits that this neighborhood provides to its residents. So, if you want to live in a quiet environment, Sugarloaf will be the perfect choice for you.
