OUR SERVICES

Boston to Los Angeles Moving Services

Whether it’s a residential apartment in West Hollywood or a commercial office in downtown LA, choosing the right Boston to Los Angeles movers matters more on a 3,000-mile move than any other. Your coordinator manages everything — scheduling at both ends, permits in Boston, move-in rules in LA, and the logistics of getting your belongings across the country in one straight shot.

Need us to pack? Full service, partial, or just the high-value items — whatever makes sense. We build custom crates for artwork, electronics, and anything that can’t ride loose across the country. If your move-in date is weeks away, we have climate-controlled storage on both coasts so your stuff stays safe until you’re ready.

WHY LOS ANGELES

Pros of Moving from Boston to Los Angeles

✓

Weather That Doesn’t Fight You

This is the obvious one and it’s worth saying anyway. Seventy degrees in January. No shoveling, no black ice, no planning your life around nor’easters. After a few Boston winters, waking up to sunshine year-round isn’t just nice — it changes how you spend your time, your energy, and your weekends.

✓

An Entertainment and Creative Economy Like Nowhere Else

If you work in film, music, media, gaming, or content creation, LA isn’t just an option — it’s the center of gravity. Studios, agencies, production companies, and tech firms with entertainment arms are all concentrated here. Boston has great universities and biotech. LA has an entire economy built around making things people watch, listen to, and play.

✓

Space You Can Actually Afford Outside the Westside

Yes, Santa Monica and Beverly Hills are expensive. But neighborhoods like Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Silver Lake, and even parts of the Valley offer real square footage at prices that compete with what you’d pay in Brookline or Newton. And most of those spots come with outdoor space — something that barely exists in Boston apartments.

✓

The Food Scene Goes Deeper Than You Think

LA has the best Mexican food in the country and it’s not close. Korean BBQ in Koreatown, Ethiopian on Fairfax, dim sum in the San Gabriel Valley, taco trucks that outperform most sit-down restaurants on the East Coast. It’s not just fine dining — it’s everyday food that’s world-class and half the price of eating out in Boston.

✓

Access to Mountains, Desert, and Ocean in the Same Day

Surf in the morning, hike Griffith Park at lunch, drive out to Joshua Tree by dinner. Or ski Big Bear in the winter and be back on the coast the same night. Boston gives you Cape Cod and the White Mountains. LA gives you an entire geography that most people only see on vacation.

PRICING

How Much Does It Cost to Move Boston to Los Angeles?

Pricing for a move this distance depends on how much stuff you have, additional services, and time of year. Massachusetts to California is one of the longer interstate moves you can make — but we handle this move so often that we’ve built real efficiency into how we price it.

Run your details through our online quote form and you’ll get a flat-rate number back in minutes. No need to worry about extra fees — it’s all inclusive. As Boston to LA movers who handle long-haul relocations every week, the number we quote is the number you pay.

MOVE SIZE	EST. COST
Studio	$3,000 – $4,500
1 Bedroom	$3,800 – $5,500
2 Bedroom	$4,500 – $7,000
3 Bedroom	$5,500 – $8,500
4+ Bedroom	$7,000 – $11,000+

QUESTIONS

Boston to Los Angeles Questions Answered

Most moves land between $3,500 and $9,000 depending on how much you're bringing, whether you want us to handle the packing, and when you're moving. Booking in fall or winter usually saves you a good amount.

Transit is typically 5 to 7 days once we leave Boston. Your belongings stay on one truck the entire way — nothing gets shuffled between vehicles or sits in a warehouse in transit. You'll get tracking updates along the way.

That's part of the job. Plenty of buildings in LA have strict scheduling rules, loading dock requirements, and HOA move-in procedures. We sort all of that out with management before your arrival so there are no surprises at the door.

Yes — we offer express delivery for long-distance moves if your timeline is tight. Standard transit is 5 to 7 days, but express can cut that down significantly depending on your origin and destination within each city.

September through February is your sweet spot. Rates drop, availability opens up, and you avoid the peak-season rush on both ends. Plus, arriving in LA during fall or winter means you skip Boston's worst weather and land in perfect weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
