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.
If you think it’s time to move to Walnut Creek or elsewhere in the Bay Area, contact one of the best moving companies, Magic Moving & Storage, for a free moving quote. Our local movers and packers have what it takes to get you into your dream home, affordably, safely and quickly. For more information, give us a call today at 1-877-246-2442!
One of the most common questions long distance moving companies receive is: “What am I supposed to do with my pet?” Moving can be a stressful experience for pets and their parents alike. (more…)

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. When the truck could not be backed up the drive way, my movers parked it at the bottom, opened up the side doors and got to work without any gripe or negativity. These guys are all about getting the job done! I love that! Put your head down and grind it out. Literally carried everything up my drive way and were done quick. Not a single scratch or anything on my home or any of my stuff and put everything together for me. AMAZING! I would never recommend anyone else. Thanks so much to the MM&S team! Gets the Job Done!

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). They were quick and accomodated any of my requests. I would surely recommend them to anyone that wants their move done right. They're the best moving company in the Bay Area and I could say "worldwide". Thank you guys! 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
