What to know about moving in Glendale
The best way to determine the cost of your move in Glendale is to get a quote directly from a moving company. Several companies in the Glendale area charge $100–$200 per hour for full-service moving, but that’s just a starting point. Prices will vary depending on how many rooms you’re packing up, how far you’ll be relocating, and which services you decide to use. If you want to use a shipping container, or simply rent a truck, check out our breakdown of average moving prices.
Because the cost of living is higher in California, keep in mind that moving truck and storage container rental rates will be higher as well—especially if you’re planning a long-distance move. Moving truck rentals can cost anywhere from $120–$4,000,1 so be sure to get a full quote before renting in Glendale.
The median price of homes in Glendale is a cool $1.1 million.2 This sizable price tag is due to Glendale’s proximity to Los Angeles, which ranked 6th in the nation for highest cost of living.3 If you’re hoping to find more affordable housing near Los Angeles, your best bet is to look north or east. As you venture further from the coastline, homes tend to become more reasonable in price.
Glendale is home to several thrift stores that take donations such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Assistance League of Glendale. If you have household items that are in decent condition, try one of these locations before throwing them out! If you need assistance with larger items, junk removal companies are a great option.
