Located in southern Orange County, California, Dana Point has a population of just over 35,000. This great beach community is well known for its surfing, fishing and especially whale-watching. Dana Point is known as the “Whale Capital of the West”, and in 1990, one of the very few known specimens of the megamouth shark was caught off its shore. The Dana Point real estate area is also designated as a California Historical Landmark.

Dana Point real estate was described as “the only romantic spot in California”, by its namesake, author Richard Henry Dana, Jr., in a visit to the area and neighboring San Juan Capistrano. Dana Point real estate began as a planned community by a developer. However, the economic depression of the early 1930s stopped the construction and by 1939, all the investors had backed out or sold their investments. Today Dana Point real estate comprises more than 14,000 homes, a far cry from the original city started in 1926 with only 35 homes.

Aside from the city, Dana Point also hosts over 2500 boats in its harbor. Every major amenity is offered at the Harbor including guest slips, fuel dock, shipyard, and a myriad of recreational activities. In addition, 30 specialty shops and 17 restaurants dot the harbor appealing to a mass audience of visitors.

Purchasing a piece of Dana Point real estate also offers the chance for one to ‘get their sea-legs’, as many water related instructional classes are held at the community center. Of course, if you prefer to remain a ‘landlubber’ you can still buy your piece of Dana Point real estate and enjoy the harbor from a distance, with the magnificent views of Tall Ships and the whales at the Salt Creek Beach. This area has plenty of spots overlooking the harbor and pacific, right in the view of the migration routes of the Gray Whale.

Another fantastic opportunity once you purchase Dana Point real estate is the Tall Ships Festival held every September. This festival is the largest type of its kind in the USA, and has Tall Ships from all over joining in the festivities.

Owning Dana Point real estate also will give you an opportunity to take a short day vacation to nearby Doheny State Beach, a public park and beach operated by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. Comprised of over 60 acres, its main feature is the mile-long sandy beach with the best surfing and swimming in the clear blue ocean. In addition to the beachfront activities, the park also has a campground with 120 developed family campsites and a picnic area complete with more than 100 picnic tables and barbecue grills.

Moving the contents of the family home is said to be one of the most stressful things you can do. Imagine what the stress factor is like if moving your entire business, especially if it’s a London removal!

Office moves can make or break a company and its staff.However they can end up being a blessing in disguise (albeit sometimes very heavily disguised), presenting the perfect opportunity to rethink some operational and organisational aspects of your business.While planning for an office move is the best time to think about on how to make cost savings, consolidate resources, or use new technology to cut down some of the clutter you’ve got to transport and to improve future working practices.Ask yourself whether you actually need to move in the first place.

When it comes to London removals, it may make more sense to consider better ways of using your current property.Small companies can often grow in an unplanned manner which often means that office space isn’t always used to its best effect anyway.Consider hiring a professional to advise you on making better use of the space you’ve already got.You could consider bringing in flexible working hours, “hot-desking” practices or home working policies that reduce the amount of space required for a fixed number of people.Another way to investigate the use of your own space is to investigate business storage for equipment or furniture you don’t currently need, but you may need it in the future.

However, if your staff are falling over each other and none of the above options are viable, then it’s time to look at an office move.Ideally, office moves should be on the agenda before you reach that point and when you plan to move from your original offices should form part of your initial business plan.Even if that means using simple triggers like number of staff or turnover, It’s wise to start planning the move as soon as possible.  Your selected removal company should survey your office prior to the move and be prepared to assist in planning and co-ordination right through to the unpacking of the last crate.
