The neighborhood
Anaheim is four different moves
Up in Santa Ana Canyon, Anaheim Hills behaves like its own city. Nohl Ranch Road, Serrano Avenue, Santa Ana Canyon Road and Weir Canyon Road feed a network of private, gated enclaves where the street narrows, the driveway pitches down to the garage and a full-size truck has nowhere to turn around. The associations run their own move rules: a permitted window, a name list at the guard shack and a certificate of insurance on file before a ramp touches the ground. We send the COI ahead, get the crew onto the gate list in advance, and stage on the nearest flat run with a shuttle when the grade will not take a ramp safely.
Down on the flat, the problem changes shape. The Colony Historic District still sits inside its 1857 survey between North, South, East and West streets, where garages open onto rear alleys, driveways were cut for one narrow car and the front door is up a raised porch. Out past Beach Boulevard the stock is 1950s and 60s single-story tract housing with tight side yards and converted garages. Around Angel Stadium and the Honda Center, the Platinum Triangle is mid-rise and high-rise rental buildings where the freight elevator has to be booked and the dock has a clock on it. Put a convention week or an event night on Harbor Boulevard, Katella Avenue and State College Boulevard, and the start time matters as much as the crew size.
