What to know about moving in Long Beach

Moving prices are partially determined by distance, so you’ll pay more the farther you move. If you’re moving locally (anything less than 100 miles), you’re likely to pay somewhere between $500 and $2,000. For long-distance moves (over 100 miles), the price range rockets all the way up to $2,000–$12,000.

Unfortunately, without knowing the details of your move, immense ranges like this are the best predictions possible. Moving prices are influenced by many important factors, such as shipment weight, how close your movers can park to your home, and even what time of year you move. The variability of each of these factors makes guessing at exact prices unreliable at best.

That’s why you should get an estimate from a moving company ASAP. Your estimator will review the details of your move and provide you with a customized estimate that encompasses all the pricing factors. And luckily for you, getting estimates is completely free, so you can request estimates from several different companies to determine which mover near you is the cheapest.

If you want to learn more about estimates, moving costs, and other ways to make your move cheaper, check out our guide to moving prices.

In Long Beach, California, residents pay $2,021 on average for essentials like rent, vehicle fuel, utilities, and food.1 This total doesn’t put Long Beach in the top 10 most expensive cities in the US, but it comes pretty close. In our rankings for the cost of living in the country’s most populated cities, Long Beach took 16th place.

The average 2021 rent for a single-bedroom apartment in Long Beach was $1,452.67, which is certainly high, though it wasn’t even close to rental prices in other California cities like San Francisco ($2,212.89) and San Jose ($1,820.78).2 That said, Long Beach’s rent is going up. Between 2020 and 2021, the city’s average rent jumped by 3.74%.

Whether you’re moving locally or long-distance, hiring a full-service moving company to do all the packing, loading, and driving for you is the most convenient way to move. Hiring the pros is also the best way to ensure that everything gets done right.

Some full-service movers can provide better service than others, though, and it can be hard to tell which companies are actually the best. We can help you there. Our list of questions to ask before hiring movers can teach you what to ask to determine which companies are worth your money and which ones you shouldn’t trust.
