Gorilla Movers is an approved/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.
Inside Westwood
Westwood Apartment Homes is a garden-style community — 328 residences, 2 stories, built in 1985 — managed by The Irvine Company in South University City. You'll find it at 7936 Avenida Navidad, San Diego, CA 92122, with SR-52, I-805 and I-5 carrying most move-day traffic in and out.
A 328-unit two-story garden community on quiet residential streets off Governor Drive — walk-up buildings and short carries rather than elevators and docks.
Getting a truck into Westwood
Walk-up and garden-style moves are about carry distance, not elevators: we scout the closest legal spot for the truck to your building and stage dollies from there. Stairs get runners; door frames get guards.
Your Westwood move-day checklist
- 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
- 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
What our crews know about South 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, SR-52, I-805 and I-5 are your approach routes; we route trucks around the worst of the rush hour when the window allows.
