Our Essential Moving Tips for Chinatown
Here are a few essential tips from our BLVD Moving team to help make your Chinatown relocation simple:
-
Plan for Narrow Streets and Limited Parking:
Chinatown is known for its busy, narrow streets and limited parking options. If possible, secure parking or loading zones in advance to avoid delays on moving day.
-
Be Mindful of Walk-Up Buildings:
Many residential buildings in Chinatown don't have elevators, which means extra care is needed when moving furniture or heavy items.
-
Pack Smart and Label Everything:
Clearly labeling your boxes by room and contents saves time when unloading and unpacking. It's especially helpful in busy neighborhoods like Chinatown, where space is limited.
-
Schedule Your Move During Off-Peak Hours:
Whenever possible, plan your move for early in the day or midweek to avoid heavy traffic and busy foot traffic in the area. This helps ensure a faster, more efficient move.
-
Trust Experienced Local Movers:
Chinatown has its unique rhythm, and working with movers who are familiar with the area makes a significant difference. We have the experience to navigate the neighborhood safely and efficiently.


Moving to Chinatown? Here’s What to Know
Thinking about making Chinatown your new home? You’re not alone. But before you roll up with your moving truck, here’s what you should know about life in Chinatown.
A Neighborhood in Transition
Chinatown is one of LA’s oldest and most iconic neighborhoods, but it’s also evolving. While it’s still a hub for Chinese-American culture, the area has seen a 25% drop in its ethnic Chinese population over the past decade.
Cost of Living
Chinatown is still one of the more affordable neighborhoods near Downtown LA, but prices are increasing:
- Average rent for a 1-bedroom apartment is approximately $2,100 per month
- Median home price is approximately $650,000
- Walk Score is 93
- Transit Score is 80
Getting Around
Chinatown is super walkable and well-connected by Metro (Gold Line), but this is still LA. If you’ve got a car, you’ll want to explore parking options early. Street parking can be tight, especially on weekends when the neighborhood fills up with visitors.
Community Vibes
Despite the demographic shifts, Chinatown remains firmly rooted in its traditions. You’ll find locals playing mahjong in the park, festivals like the Golden Dragon Parade, and long-standing businesses that have been around for generations.
