Why is a move in Maple Ridge more than the southeast Calgary median?

Because of what is being moved rather than what is charged: 99% of the homes in Maple Ridge are single-detached, and the middle job here ran 4.75 hours on site against 4.25 across the surrounding communities. The hourly rate does not change from one address to another. Longer days on bigger homes are what lift the local median to $1,095 against the wider $792.

How long does a move in Maple Ridge take?

The middle move here ran 4.75 hours on site across 11 completed jobs, with half of them finishing between 2.88 and 5.63 hours. Because the rate is hourly, that spread is also the shape of the bill. Packing before the day and a bin rental are the two things that most reliably shorten it, and both are quoted separately from the crew and the truck.

What does a four-bedroom move cost in this part of Calgary?

$1,888 is the median four-bedroom-plus move across the southeast Calgary communities around Maple Ridge, from 63 of them, with half falling between $1,190 and $2,781. That is 4 movers, one truck and 7.5 hours on site. Maple Ridge has fewer than five of its own at that size, so the card above steps out to the surrounding communities rather than quoting from a handful of jobs.

Movers in Maple Ridge: what we know about moving here

Maple Ridge is almost entirely houses, and close to nine in ten of them are owner-occupied. A move here is a driveway and a front door rather than a lobby and a lift, and the date comes from a possession time rather than the end of a lease.

Nine priced moves inside the boundary give a $1,095 median local job against $792 across the 25 southeast Calgary communities around it, and whole houses rather than suites are why. The middle day runs 4.75 hours on site, with half of the completed jobs falling between 2.88 and 5.63 hours. Because there are fewer than five moves of any single bedroom count here, the four cards below take their figures from those surrounding communities instead.

Maple Ridge neighbourhood guide for moving day

At 99% single-detached, the elevator question barely arises in Maple Ridge. Every practical decision is about the driveway, the front door and where the truck can stand in relation to them, and on a street built out in the 1960s and 1970s that is usually possible without touching the road at all. Where it is not, Calgary's shorter-term street-use permit is stated at $31.50 per day with the temporary no-parking permit included, and the application is wanted at least 5 days before the date. Paid-zone parking fees sit on top where the restriction falls in one.

Maple Ridge moving costs, by the numbers

Eleven residential moves carry a Maple Ridge address since 2024, and the all-time figure is written as a floor rather than a total; the 5 in the last twelve months is an exact count. Timing and crew size use all 11 of those jobs. The median price and its quartiles use the 9 that were local residential moves closed end to end, and each of those figures is the total paid with tax rather than an hourly rate multiplied out.

What a move this size costs in Southeast Calgary

Sizes of move cut out of the completed residential jobs in Southeast Calgary, the communities beside this one. Maple Ridge has fewer than five of its own at each size, and a band resting on fewer than five moves is not published here at any scope.

A one-bedroom apartment or condo move in Southeast Calgary

$586
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $438 and $813 · 192 moves

3.5 hours on site half ran 2.75–4.75 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Maple Ridge has fewer than five one-bedroom moves of its own, so this card describes that size across the southeast Calgary communities around it: 192 of them, a $586 median, and 3.5 hours on site with two movers and one truck. Half ran between 2.75 and 4.75 hours, and half of the prices fell between $438 and $813. A bedroom, a living room and a kitchen's worth of boxes is the whole load at this size.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Calgary, across 192 moves.

A two-bedroom apartment or condo move in Southeast Calgary

$890
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $665 and $1,262 · 242 moves

5 hours on site half ran 3.75–6.25 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Also a southeast Calgary figure rather than a Maple Ridge one. Across 242 two-bedroom moves at that scope the median is $890 and the middle day 5 hours on site, still with two movers and one truck. Half ran between 3.75 and 6.25 hours, and half of the prices landed between $665 and $1,262. The extra room is worth roughly an hour and a half of loading against a one-bedroom, at the same crew and the same hourly rate.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Calgary, across 242 moves.

A three-bedroom house or townhouse move in Southeast Calgary

$1,349
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $938 and $2,040 · 192 moves

6.5 hours on site half ran 4.5–8.25 hours
3 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Three movers and one truck, from 192 three-bedroom moves across the southeast Calgary communities beside Maple Ridge rather than from inside it. The median is $1,349 and the middle day 6.5 hours on site, with half running between 4.5 and 8.25 hours and half of the prices between $938 and $2,040. At this size a garage and a basement decide as much as the bedroom count does, which is what makes the band as wide as it is.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Calgary, across 192 moves.

A four-bedroom-plus house move in Southeast Calgary

$1,888
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $1,190 and $2,781 · 63 moves

7.5 hours on site half ran 5.25–10.13 hours
4 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

A four-bedroom-plus day is a different shape of job: 4 movers, one truck, 7.5 hours on site in the middle and a $1,888 median. All of it is drawn from 63 moves of that size across the southeast Calgary communities rather than from Maple Ridge itself. Half of those days ran between 5.25 and 10.13 hours, and half of the prices between $1,190 and $2,781. What makes them long is how much of the house is packed before the crew arrives.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Calgary, across 63 moves.

How much does it cost to move in Maple Ridge?

The median local move in Maple Ridge costs $1,095, total with tax, from the 9 priced jobs closed inside the boundary, with half of them between $693 and $1,255. That sits above the $792 median across the 25 southeast Calgary communities around it, and the housing is the reason. A whole house takes longer to load than a suite, and the rate is hourly. With 9 jobs behind it, read the figure as the middle of a small set rather than as a quote.

Why is a move in Maple Ridge more than the southeast Calgary median?

Because of what is being moved rather than what is charged: 99% of the homes in Maple Ridge are single-detached, and the middle job here ran 4.75 hours on site against 4.25 across the surrounding communities. The hourly rate does not change from one address to another. Longer days on bigger homes are what lift the local median to $1,095 against the wider $792.

Moving to Maple Ridge, or out of it

A shade more of the moves attributed to Maple Ridge are people arriving than leaving, 6 in against 5 out, 55% against 46%. At 11 jobs in total that is one move's difference rather than a direction of travel. What both halves share is the kind of date behind them: this is an owner-occupied community, so the day is set by a possession time and there is rarely much slack in it.

A move out of Maple Ridge usually ends somewhere in the ring of southeast communities beside it, with Seton, Mahogany and Cranston the busiest of those on these pages. Either direction, the crew, the truck and the hourly rate are the same, and travel time within city limits is not billed, so the invoice measures the hours worked at both ends.

With only 11 jobs of its own, Maple Ridge leans on its comparison set harder than a busier page would. That set is 25 southeast Calgary communities and 1,075 moves, Seton, Mahogany and Cranston among them. That set's median is $792 over 4.25 hours, against $1,095 and 4.75 here. The ring is the steadier of the two numbers; the local one says these are bigger homes.

Figures come from Cactus’s own completed residential moves (business and high-frequency accounts excluded) and from official municipal open data; they are medians and quartiles, never averages, every published figure rests on at least five moves, percentages are rounded, and all-time counts are floors because some older pickup and drop-off addresses were never geocoded.
