Mar Vista
Mar Vista is a leafy suburb west of the city ideal for families moving to Los Angeles. Local schools rate amongst the best in the county and there are plenty of large family homes which are generally more affordable than those in neighbouring suburbs. It is also a particularly eco-conscious community with extensive cycle lanes and a popular farmers market.
Palos Verdes Estates
With spectacular ocean views and some of the most sought after properties in the state, Palos Verdes is a popular suburb an hour’s commute southwest of downtown LA. There are excellent primary and senior schools and a great choice of shops and restaurants at Malaga Cove Plaza and the upmarket Promenade on the Peninsula.
San Marino
Just a few miles northwest of the city centre, San Marino is a pleasant, family friendly community with a warm, small town feel. The suburb boasts top private and public schools and, as it is almost entirely residential, the wide, leafy streets are lined with large, attractive homes.
Calabasas
Located on the edge of the Santa Monica Mountains, Calabasas is a picturesque, green suburb around 45 minutes west of Los Angeles. Its rolling hills and historic old town are a pleasant contrast to the more urban areas to the east yet it also has a selection of top quality shops and restaurants and is the base for large multinational companies such as Bank of America.

Our storage service allows you to store your items before you move into your new home. This can include furniture and small personal belongings, as well as larger items and commercial storage.
For a full container shipment, it will typically take around 4-13 weeks to ship your belongings from the UK to Los Angeles. A shared container is the more cost-effective option, but the shipment time for this will typically be between 10-20 weeks. For air freight, transportation times can start at as little as 2 weeks.
