Gorilla Movers is a preferred vendor with The Irvine Company, and our crews regularly help residents move into and out of Irvine Company communities across San Diego County. Elevator reservations, COIs, and building protection are all standard with every booking.
La Jolla Palms, at a glance
La Jolla Palms Apartment Homes is The Irvine Company's mid-rise community in University City, near UCSD, 232 residences, 4 stories, built in 2001, . You'll find it at 3535 Lebon Drive, San Diego, CA 92122, with I-5 at Nobel Dr, I-805 and SR-52 carrying most move-day traffic in and out.
A four-story community on Lebon Drive near Nobel, a dense student-and-professional rental corridor where curb space goes fast, especially at quarter turnover.
Parking, elevators, and the way in
A 4-story building usually means one elevator serving residents and movers at the same time. Reserve it with The Irvine Company, take the earliest window offered, and expect our crew to stage in the corridor rather than the lobby so the doors stay clear.
The truck works from Lebon Drive. This is a UTC corridor address, so the two things that decide the day are where the gate lets a truck stop and how far that is from your door.
Before the truck arrives
- Confirm the move-in and move-out hours with The Irvine Company before you book anything else
- Ask The Irvine Company for the move packet: allowed hours, any deposit, and the insurance limits it requires
- Send us those insurance requirements. The certificate comes back at no charge, usually within one business day
- Reserve the elevator with pads through The Irvine Company, for the longest window they will give you
- Ask where the truck stages on Lebon Drive and whether the garage clearance takes a box truck
- Label boxes by the room they are going to, not by what is in them, and keep a first-night box with you
Timing a move in University City
UTC traffic swells at UCSD move-in and quarter turnovers; if your dates are flexible, avoid the mid-September crunch.
Coming from outside the area, I-5 at Nobel Dr, I-805 and SR-52 are your approach routes; we route trucks around the worst of the rush hour when the window allows.
