What to know about moving in Thousand Oaks
If you’re moving in or around Thousand Oaks, California, there are a lot of factors that can affect the cost of moving. While California generally doesn’t experience extreme weather, moving at certain times of year may still affect the price tag: Winter is generally cheaper than summer.
Costs depend on the amount of help you want for moving, too. National average moving costs differ depending on the type of moving service. Full-service moves take the prize for most expensive (between $1,200 and $29,000). If you’re more interested in saving money, you can do most of the moving yourself by renting a van, which costs between $120 and $4,000.
Thousand Oaks is a beautiful part of Southern California, and it’s a desirable place to live. And the price tag reflects it. Thousand Oaks is in the top 4% of the most expensive cities in the world, according to LivingCost.org.
Nestled in Ventura County’s beautiful landscape, Thousand Oaks is full of outdoor activities, including some incredible botanical gardens like The Gardens of the World. The city isn’t far from Los Angeles (just over an hour on the freeway), so you can reach a thriving, world famous city and be back before dark.
If you’re renting or living in a smaller space for a temporary amount of time, storage units are a great way to go until you’re ready to buy your own house. Storage unit prices are based on size, type, and availability. It’s a good idea to check around and compare prices with top self-storage companies in the area before making a decision.
