A newer planned neighborhood
Rivermark is a planned community in north Santa Clara, built mostly in the 2000s near Montague Expressway and Lafayette Street. It has its own shopping center with a grocery store and restaurants, a library, a park and a school, all within walking distance of most homes. Tech campuses line the surrounding streets, and Levi's Stadium is a short drive north. Streets are wide, sidewalks are continuous and the layout is easy to follow, which helps on moving day.
Townhomes, condos and apartment communities
Rivermark housing is dense and modern. There are three-story townhomes with a garage on the ground floor and the living space on two levels above, condominium buildings with elevators, large rental apartment communities, and a smaller number of single-family homes. In a three-story townhome, everything from the bedroom goes down two flights, and stairs are often narrow with a turn at each landing. Condos and apartments mean elevators, long corridors and management rules.
We wrap furniture, protect floors and railings, and break down beds and desks that will not clear a stair turn.
Every piece of furniture is fully wrapped and protected with moving blankets and tape, at no extra charge.
Moving up within Rivermark
A common move here is a short one: from an apartment into a townhome, or from a townhome into a single-family house a few streets away. Short moves still have the 3-hour minimum, so it can pay to combine them with extra stops, such as a storage unit, which add only the time they take. If you are moving into a newly built home, confirm the closing or key date before you book.
Pricing a townhome or apartment
A one- or two-bedroom apartment or townhome is usually three movers at $175 an hour. A three-bedroom townhome over 1,800 square feet, or anything with four or more bedrooms, gets four movers at $235. Two movers at $145 are for very small moves or when you request it. A 3-hour minimum applies, and after that time is counted in 15-minute increments at one rate, seven days a week.
Typical Rivermark move by home size
Since every home is billed by the clock, we measured our recent local moves by the hours on the final bill, and the table below is the result. Billing stays hourly from the crew's arrival until the job is complete.
| Home size | Crew | Typical hours | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 3 movers, $175/hr | 3 to 4 hours | $525 to $700 |
| 1 bedroom | 3 movers, $175/hr | 3 to 5 hours | $525 to $875 |
| 2 bedrooms | 3 movers, $175/hr | 4.5 to 7.75 hours | $788 to $1,356 |
| 3 bedrooms, under about 1,800 sq ft | 3 movers, $175/hr | 7 to 12.5 hours | $1,225 to $2,188 |
| 3 bedrooms over about 1,800 sq ft, or 4+ bedrooms | 4 movers, $235/hr | 7 to 12.5 hours | $1,645 to $2,938 |
Hours are the middle half of billed hours on our recent local moves for direct customers, July to October 2026, including the drive between homes; account and partner-billed jobs and jobs with our full packing service are left out. Packing materials are extra, and every job has a 3-hour minimum ($525 with 3 movers).
In a three-story townhome everything from the bedroom goes down two flights, and a short move a few streets away still carries the 3-hour minimum, so adding a storage stop can make good use of it.
HOAs, garages and guest parking
Townhome and condo communities here are run by HOAs or property managers, and they may set move hours, ask for a certificate of insurance or limit where a truck can stand. We provide the COI at no charge once we have the HOA or management name, mailing address and email. Private streets inside communities can be narrow, and guest parking is limited, so tell us where the truck is allowed to stop. Elevator waiting time in condo buildings is billed as part of the job.
Five miles from our base
Rivermark is about 5 miles northwest of downtown San Jose, a quick drive up the Guadalupe Parkway or along Montague. We do not charge for driving to you. South Bay mornings arrive between 8 and 10 AM, and the foreman calls about 30 minutes ahead. A move to another part of Santa Clara, North San Jose or Milpitas often stays below 10 minutes between addresses, so double drive time does not apply.
Rivermark checklist
- Ask your HOA or manager for move hours, truck location and any COI requirement.
- For a three-story townhome, decide which pieces can be broken down before move day.
- Clear the garage so it can be a staging area.
- Reserve the elevator at a condo or apartment building.
- Moving out of state? Ask about our long-distance service.
- Leave the parking permit or gate code for the crew if your community uses one.
- Pack a first-night box with sheets, chargers and toiletries.

Questions and answers
My HOA wants a certificate of insurance. Can you send it?
Yes, at no charge. We need the HOA or management company name, mailing address and email.
Do three flights of stairs cost extra?
No stair fee. Stairs take time, and time is billed at the hourly rate.
Can you move me out of state from Rivermark?
Yes. Long-distance moves are priced by weight with a minimum reservation, not by the hour, and we give you a quote after seeing the home.
Will you protect the stair railings?
Yes. We wrap railings and corners where needed and use blankets and floor protection, included.
Is there a deposit for a local move?
No. Local moves are paid at the end by cash, money order, Visa or Mastercard.
