Movers in Aldergrove: what we know about moving here

A moving day in Aldergrove is decided by which of three front doors the crew walks up to. Most homes here are detached, but a large minority are walk-up apartments and row houses, and no building in the community reaches five storeys, so there is no tower lift to reserve and access comes down to stairs and where the truck can stand.

Tenure divides the work the same way: close to four homes in ten are rented, so a job here follows a lease date about as often as a possession date. The housing is settled rather than newly built, which tends to mean a household with years of accumulation behind it. The hours and prices below are measured across the ring of southwest Edmonton communities Aldergrove sits inside.

Moving costs around Aldergrove, by the numbers

That ring is 57 southwest Edmonton communities and 215 completed residential moves between them. The middle job ran 4.75 hours on site, with half of the 215 falling between 2.63 and 7.5 hours, and came to $887 with tax in, half of them between $484 and $1,523. Sixty-eight per cent were graded small and 6% large. Aldergrove's own housing spans detached, walk-up and row alike, so read that spread as a range the community sits across rather than a point it sits on.

How much does it cost to move in Aldergrove?

The median local move across the southwest Edmonton communities around Aldergrove is $887 with tax in, and half of those 215 jobs fell between $484 and $1,523. Cactus charges by the hour for a local move, with the rate set by the number of movers and the size of the truck and written into the agreement before the crew starts.

  • How long does a local move in Aldergrove take?

    The middle job in the communities around Aldergrove ran 4.75 hours on site, and half of the 215 took between 2.63 and 7.5 hours. Because the bill follows the clock, that spread is the real answer to what a move costs: more rooms to empty and more stairs between the door and the truck make a longer day.

  • Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Aldergrove?

    Only if the truck has to occupy the road rather than a driveway, in which case Edmonton issues an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, currently with no fee attached to the work reasons that cover this. Low-impact requests should go in at least 6 working days ahead and high-impact ones 10, and processing takes about 6 business days, longer in peak construction season.

  • What is an apartment or row house move like in Aldergrove?

    It is a stairs-and-shared-entry job rather than a driveway one: 23% of Aldergrove's homes are apartments in low-rise buildings and 20% are row houses, and none of the community reaches five storeys, so there is no tower lift to reserve. The rate is the same hourly rate a detached move is billed at, so what changes is the carry, and it is worth telling us how many flights there are when you book.

Aldergrove neighbourhood guide for moving day

Aldergrove is a neighbourhood where a good share of the homes are rented, so a fair number of jobs here are keyed to a lease date and a building door rather than to a possession date and a driveway. The other thing to settle early is the curb: Edmonton covers a truck occupying the road with an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, currently at no fee for the work reasons that apply, and it wants low-impact requests at least 6 working days ahead and high-impact ones 10.

Booking the curb

On-Street Construction and Maintenance (OSCAM) Permit

City of Edmonton
What it costs
No fee currently: OSCAM Permits associated with Temporary Crossing, Tree Shrub Hoarding and Waste Bin, POD or SeaCan work reasons currently have no fees associated with them. A daily permitting fee for on-street placement of commercial waste bins, PODs or SeaCans is planned but is on hold until further notice.
How much notice
Average processing time is 6 business days. Low-impact projects should be submitted a minimum of 6 working days prior to start of work; high-impact projects a minimum of 10 working days. Longer processing during peak construction season (March to October).

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.
