LOCAL MOVE BRIEF
What Changes the Plan in Citrus Heights.
Every address is different. Access, parking, stairs, weather and timing shape the crew and equipment more than a city name alone.
Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane carry heavy retail and commuter traffic on weekday afternoons
1960s-70s ranch homes near Rusch Park often have narrow original hallways
Summer valley heat regularly climbs into the high 90s and low 100s by early afternoon

ACCESS / HOME TYPE / CREW PLAN
Addresses We Plan Around.
- 1960s-1970s single-story ranch homes on quarter-acre lots
- Older two-story apartment and condo complexes along Auburn Blvd
- Some newer infill construction near retail corridors
AROUND CITRUS HEIGHTS
Neighborhoods and nearby areas already represented in the project.
Before moving day
- Book a mid-morning start once school and commute traffic on Sunrise Blvd and Greenback Lane has cleared
- Confirm leasing-office loading rules and stairwell access before moving out of an Auburn Blvd apartment complex
- Schedule an early load-in during summer to beat the afternoon heat
- Ask about portable storage if you're downsizing out of a long-owned ranch home
Do Citrus Heights' mature trees cause problems for moving trucks?
Sometimes — Citrus Heights was largely built out in the 1960s-70s, and decades-old oak canopies on many streets can limit clearance for a full-height truck. We check tree clearance on the route in advance and bring a shorter box truck when a street calls for it.
What style of home does Murdock’s typically move in Citrus Heights?
Mostly single-story ranch homes on quarter-acre lots original to the 1960s-70s build-out, plus a growing number of apartment and townhome complexes along Greenback Lane and Sunrise Boulevard — two very different move types we quote separately.
Is Citrus Heights considered part of Sacramento for moving purposes?
It's its own incorporated city, established in 1997, inside Sacramento County — but for us it's simply part of the greater Sacramento service area, with no separate long-haul fee and the same crew and truck as a Sacramento move.
How do apartment moves near Sunrise Mall typically go?
Most complexes along that corridor have designated loading zones but limited guest parking, so we coordinate a specific arrival window with the property office to make sure our truck has a legal spot instead of double-parking on Sunrise Boulevard.
Do older Citrus Heights homes need extra care during a move?
Original single-pane windows, narrower hallways, and sometimes original hardwood or linoleum flooring are common in 1960s-70s Citrus Heights homes. We pad floor paths and door frames as standard practice on these older builds.
