Santa Clara movers
Santa Clara rents. Tasman Drive alone is lined with complexes. Trek Movers, licensed and insured, sends crews from its San Jose hub to those apartments and to the houses and offices around them, from the north-side complexes to the older streets beside the university.
Quick Takeaways
- A renter’s city: Only 40.8% of Santa Clara homes are owner-occupied.
- Old Quad houses: Porches and steep stairs.
- Offices north of 101: Trek moves suites on Mission College Boulevard, too.
- Flat rate from two bedrooms up: A studio can run hourly instead.
- Long hauls load once: No warehouse stop.
Santa Clara Rents More Than It Owns, and Keeps Adding People
Renters outnumber owners here. The U.S. Census Bureau’s QuickFacts table for Santa Clara puts the owner-occupied rate at 40.8% for 2020–2024, and the city grew 4.3% between April 2020 and July 2025 while San Jose next door lost 2.3%.
For a mover, that means buildings. Property managers write the move-in rules and say where the truck parks. Owner-occupied homes are the smaller share, and most of the city’s houses sit south of US-101, around the university and along El Camino Real and the San Tomas and Lawrence expressways.
Moving Solutions for Any Home or Business in Santa Clara
Campus houses, office parks and stadium-side blocks all load differently.
Old Quad Houses Near the University
The Old Quad, beside Santa Clara University and the Mission, holds some of the city’s oldest houses. Porches, narrow halls and steep stairs. Measure the big pieces.
Office Suites on Mission College Boulevard
Low-rise office parks line Mission College Boulevard and Great America Parkway, and Trek moves the suites inside them too, with evening and weekend slots standard for business clients.
Apartment Complexes North of US-101
Along Tasman Drive, the north side is mostly big complexes, office campuses and the stadium. In the mid-rises, somebody has to reserve the elevator, and the building office usually says where the truck may stop.
A Santa Clara Move to Sunnyvale Runs Straight Down El Camino Real
An apartment off San Tomas Expressway to a house in Sunnyvale can be done on El Camino Real alone. No freeway needed. Trek’s local line is 100 miles, so a move from Santa Clara to San Francisco, or to anywhere else in the South Bay, is billed and run as a local job.
Long-Distance Moves From Santa Clara Are Quoted Flat and Loaded Once
A long-distance move from Santa Clara gets a guaranteed flat rate once Trek has seen the home. The truck is loaded once, and nothing gets moved to a warehouse on the way, whether it’s bound for Los Angeles, Phoenix or a city in Canada. Renters gain the most. A fixed lease end date is easier to hit when the truck makes no other stops.
Our Santa Clara Moving Services
Renters and owners need different help. A third-floor walk-up off Tasman Drive and a four-bedroom near the university call for a different mix of it.
Furniture Protection
Apartment hallways are hard on furniture: tight corners, fire doors that swing shut, elevator frames. So every piece rides in moving blankets, while the crew pads the door frames and lays runners along the hall floor.
Expert Furniture Assembly
Standing desks and platform beds rarely clear an apartment door whole, so on most Trek moves the crew dismantles them for the trip and reassembles them in the new rooms.
Express & After-Hours Moving
A roommate who moves out with little warning can send the rest of a Tasman Drive unit hunting for a new place in a hurry. Short-notice moves are welcome at Trek. Ask for the date you need.
Levi's Stadium and Santa Clara University Sit on Opposite Sides of US-101
Santa Clara’s two landmarks change moving day in different ways. Up north, a 49ers home game or a stadium concert fills Tasman Drive, Great America Parkway and SR-237 with traffic, so anyone living near Levi’s should check the event calendar before choosing a date. Down south, the Old Quad sits near the San Jose line, so a move of a few blocks can land you in a different city. It’s still local.
Santa Clara Moving Rates Start With What's Inside the Apartment
Trek sees the home first. The look is free, on video or in person, and the Santa Clara price is built from what’s there. Local moves bill by the hour or at a flat rate, all-inclusive either way, and any house or two-bedroom apartment always gets a guaranteed flat rate.
| Number of movers | Cost per Hour (Cash Rate) | Cost per Hour (Credit Rate) |
| 2 Movers & Truck (Studio, 1 Bedroom) | $120+ | $140+ |
| 3 Movers & Truck (2–3 Bedrooms) | $160+ | $180+ |
| 4 Movers & Truck (House, Office) | $200+ | $220+ |
The quote arrives in writing. There’s no truck fee and no gas fee. Show every closet on the call.
*Regional pricing can vary with scheduling constraints and service availability. Every booking gets a written estimate first.

Why Trek Movers Is Santa Clara's Best Moving Company
In a renter’s city, a scuffed hallway can come out of a deposit, so the crew that walks into a Santa Clara building has to leave it the way it found it.
A Family Business, Permitted and Insured
Trek has been family-owned since 2007, and it holds California household-mover permit MTR#0191956 and USDOT#3256910, plus general liability, cargo and workers’ comp cover.
Over 50 Employees, No Brokers
Trek’s staff tops 50, and it never brokers or subcontracts a job. Your movers are its own.

Three years in a row, Forbes has put Trek at #1 in California.
Santa Clara Moving FAQs
Can you move near Levi’s Stadium on a game day?
Check the stadium calendar. A 49ers game or a concert crowds the roads around Levi’s, so pick a date with nothing on, because a loaded truck waits in that traffic like everyone else.
Do movers help Santa Clara University students move out?
Trek handles off-campus apartment and studio moves, and roommates splitting up should each get an estimate of their own.
Do Santa Clara movers take apart and reassemble furniture?
Both come with most Trek moves. Beds, desks and shelving travel in pieces and get rebuilt in the new rooms.
Can the same moving company handle a move from Santa Clara to another state?
Trek’s long-distance service reaches anywhere in the US and Canada at a guaranteed flat rate, loading in Santa Clara and driving straight to the new home.
North or South of US-101, Every Santa Clara Move Starts the Same Way
Santa Clara splits along US-101, big complexes and Levi’s to the north, older houses around the Mission to the south, and one walkthrough works for either side of that line. Settle the access first. Once the crew knows the stairs, the elevator and the parking, a Tasman Drive studio or a four-bedroom near the Mission is ready to schedule.

I had a great experience using Trek Movers! Their website makes it easy to book a reservation online. They also had great customer service! I reached out to fix a mistake on my moving estimate, and the woman I spoke with on the phone was very kind and helpful! Before my moving day I got an email outlining an itinerary of what to expect day of. I really appreciated the guidance! On the day of, my movers did a walk through of my apartment and gave me a time estimate. They ended up extremely close to their estimate at the end! The movers were fast and efficient and honestly made this stressful day so much better! Thank you!! -

I've always been the type of person to rent my own U-Haul and bribe my friends to help me move, but after my experience with Trek Movers, I'll never go back to trying to move by myself again. — Rates & Service – I had requested quotes from several different companies and Trek Movers had really awesome rates, but it was the service that completely won me over. When I requested a quote, I was immediately taken to an online portal that provided me an estimate based off my room size and then the website also allowed me to add my inventory to give them an even better estimate. -

Tim and his crew came highly recommended by a coworker and I can see why. They were professional, they worked very quickly, they work super hard, and they had a great attitude. I would absolutely hire these guys again. -

These guys are amazing… our stuff would have taken us weeks to move and they managed to move it all in 2 days, and in a heat wave no less! Thanks guys, that took a lot of the stress off of us! -

We highly recommend Trek Movers to anyone looking for a locally owned and professionally run moving company. We hired Trek for our house move from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The kindness and responsiveness I experienced with them in every interaction on the phone, in emails and in person was a relief during a very stressful situation. Our team of movers were incredibly hard working and patient with filling the truck with several objects that weren't square and organically shaped as well as some heavy workshop machinery from our garage that don't make packing a truck easy.
