Torrey Hills, at a glance
Torrey Hills Apartment Homes is The Irvine Company's garden-style community in Torrey Hills / Carmel Valley, 340 residences, 3 stories, built in 2000, . You'll find it at 11026 W Ocean Air Drive, San Diego, CA 92130, with I-5 and SR-56 interchange and I-805 carrying most move-day traffic in and out.
A gated 340-unit community on West Ocean Air Drive in a neighborhood known for steep hills; the Vons center is practically next door.
Parking, elevators, and the way in
Parking here, as publicly listed: private garages. That shapes where the truck stages. We confirm the approach during the quote rather than improvising at the curb.
No elevator to reserve here, so the move is decided by the walk instead of by a window. In practice that means the gate has to be open and the code live before the truck turns up, and the private garages mean the carry often starts at your own door rather than a shared lot, and the grades here are the real work, and they are what we size the crew against. We scout the approach during the quote, stage dollies from wherever the truck can sit, and put runners on the stairs and guards on the door frames.
The truck works from W Ocean Air Drive. Up here the grade and the gate decide the plan, and the closest legal stop is rarely the closest point to 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
- Ask The Irvine Company where a truck is allowed to sit, and how far that is from your door
- Check your gate or fob access works, and that the code is live on move day
- Label boxes by the room they are going to, not by what is in them, and keep a first-night box with you
- Set utilities and internet to overlap your move date by a day on each side
Timing a move in Torrey Hills
Weekday mornings are the calm window here, arterial traffic and community quiet hours both favor an early start.
Coming from outside the area, I-5 and SR-56 interchange and I-805 are your approach routes; we route trucks around the worst of the rush hour when the window allows.
