You’re planning a move to the Bay Area, perhaps because of an exciting job opportunity or because family lives close by. Even if you’re weighing dozens of factors, if you have school age children (or soon-to-be school age children) then their educational needs will powerfully influence which neighborhoods you and your partner consider. Before comparing mover quotes from Bay Area companies like ours, do your due diligence and get a rough idea for what different local school districts have to offer. Here’s a quick peek at three of the top rated systems in the Bay Area.
Residential Moving Companies Encourage These Considerations for Your Pet
Moving with pets can be a challenge, whether you own a single, loyal dog or a menagerie of cats, fish, birds and chinchillas. To prevent problems and make the transition as smooth as possible, follow these tips: (more…)
Bay Area Movers Explain Popularity of Moving to Walnut Creek

Moving to the city of San Francisco can be quite expensive, even if you have a steady, high-paying tech job and enough savings and good credit to afford a comfortable mortgage payment. As a result of this crowding in the SF marketplace, savvy homebuyers and developers have been looking for real estate opportunities in satellite communities with an easy commute, like Walnut Creek.
Several years ago, Walnut Creek had a reputation for being a sleepy commuter town — almost boring, even. However, in recent years, the community has blossomed and become a hip epicenter packed with chic restaurants, shopping, art and vibrant night life. The Regional Center for the Arts boasts three theaters that produce 900 shows per year as well as a free trolley that takes residents around the downtown shopping district, featuring many local and San Francisco-based stores.
Walnut Creek contains 22 parks, for a total of over 2,700 acres of green space. More than 50 species of wild, native animals can be found at the Lindsay Wildlife Museum. With a “livability score” of 82, Walnut Creek is ranked in the top 100 places to live in California (and Top 10 Great Neighborhoods in the San Francisco Bay Area). There’s no surprise that Californians are moving to Walnut Creek at increasing rates.
Walnut Creek’s affordable housing market allows for a mix of blue and white collar workers; families, seniors, and singles to come together and create a diverse set of neighborhoods. Young families are comfortable purchasing their first homes here as well, thanks in part to the excellent local school system.

Hunting for efficient & affordable business movers can be challenging.
Whether you’re running a five person business that’s looking to relocate across the city, or a 200 person operation moving hundreds of miles from Southern California to the Bay Area, you want to make sure that your move goes off without a hitch – i.e., stays on budget, on scope, and on deadline.

At heart, most of us are pack rats. Perhaps you’re holding onto an old remote control — you have no idea whether you need it or whether it goes with the DVD player you tossed four years ago. Or maybe you’re clinging to several dozens boxes of your child’s art. In either case, you are planning a local or long distance move and need to know: what should you keep, and what should you toss?

A perfect move and a great price! Everyone was so polite professional and helpful. Steve and his team were extremely experienced, careful and communicated well!! Lots of heavy pieces long Victorian stairs, and tight corners.... Not a scratch dent or problem with our belongings. Incredibly positive attitude and very helpful! We will definitely use again, highly recommend Magic Moving and Storage!

I write this review with the utmost respect and appreciation for the work that was done by MM&S. If you want a team from top to bottom that GETS THE JOB DONE, this is that team! When faced with adversity there is no hesitation or doubt. I was moving from a small apartment in to my new home. I have an extremely long drive way at a significant slope that makes maneuvering vehicles very difficult... Gets the Job Done!
- Jon Perry
Magic Moving & Storage was used a part of my military move from Bay area to San Diego. They delivered my furniture to my new residence with HASSLE FREE. Steve(driver), Julio and Hector were respectful, professional, efficient and very dynamic. I was really impressed at their concern for not damaging anything as they were moving heavy boxes/furniture (i.e. they did not damage any walls or corners)... Great Moving Experience!

SAVED THE DAY! I cannot thank the folks at Magic Moving enough! We had so many problems with our other moving company contracted to do the packing portion of our long-distance move. Of course there were a lot of items left unpacked and work not yet finished, an angry mgr/owner who was completely stressed out and unprofessional! Dave and his team came in like the 'Cavalry'!

One way that this group cuts costs is by not coming out to do estimates. The result is that their quotes are not really accurate. It took much longer to pack and move us than expected. (more…) It Took Much Longer to Pack and Move us Than Expected
