01 · The building

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.

02 · Access

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.

With no elevator to schedule, the plan here is about the carry: truck as close to your building as the community allows, floor runners on the stairs, and a crew sized for the walking distance.

03 · Checklist

Before the truck arrives

  • Confirm your community's move-in/move-out rules and hours with the leasing office
  • Send us the COI requirements — we return the certificate at no charge, usually within one business day
  • Arrange gate access for the truck and confirm where the crew checks in
  • Ask about garage clearance — box trucks rarely fit, so plan a surface staging spot
  • Reserve parking or ask about a designated loading area for the truck
  • Label boxes by room and set aside a first-night box that rides with you
  • Schedule utilities and internet so they overlap your move date by a day on each side
04 · Timing

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.

How much does a move at Torrey Hills Apartment Homes cost?
