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.
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
No elevator to reserve here, so the move is decided by the walk instead of by a window. In practice that means the closest position the community lets a truck hold is what sets the day. 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 Avenida Navidad. 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.
Your Westwood move-day checklist
- 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
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.
