Why is a move in Bonnie Doon cheaper than in the rest of southeast Edmonton?

Because the days are shorter, not because the rate is lower. The middle Bonnie Doon job finished in 2.88 hours against 4.5 across the 97 moves in the surrounding southeast communities, and 69% of ours here were graded small against 61% in that set, so $461 against $902 is a difference in the size of the work at the same hourly rate.

How long does a move in Bonnie Doon take?

The middle job finished in 2.88 hours on site, with half of the 16 running between 2 and 3.81 hours and a crew of 2 covering the middle of them. That is a short day, and since there is no charge for travel time within city limits, the hours at the two addresses are what the bill is made of.

What does a two-bedroom move cost near Bonnie Doon?

$956 is the median for a two-bedroom apartment or condo move across Southeast Edmonton, with half of the 24 jobs behind it between $683 and $1,526 and a median of 5.63 hours on site with 2 movers. Bonnie Doon has fewer than five of its own moves at any single size, so the cards above are cut from the communities beside it rather than from the neighbourhood.

Do I need to book an elevator for a move in Bonnie Doon?

For the 15% of Bonnie Doon homes in a building of five storeys or more, yes: the lift and the loading bay are the building's to allocate and are the first call once the date is set. The 26% in low-rise buildings are usually a staircase and a shared door instead, and the 38% that are detached are a driveway question. All three are billed at the same hourly rate.

Is it cheaper to move at a certain time of year in Bonnie Doon?

No, the hourly rate is the same in every month, so no date is priced differently from another. August, September and June carry the most completed moves across the southeast Edmonton communities around Bonnie Doon, which is a record of work done rather than a price list. What moves the bill here is the length of the day, and the median is 2.88 hours on site.

Movers in Bonnie Doon: what we know about moving here

The work Cactus has done in Bonnie Doon is short. The middle job inside the community boundary finished in 2.88 hours with two movers and came to $461 with tax, against 4.5 hours and $902 across the 97 moves in the southeast Edmonton communities around it.

The housing explains the direction of that gap. Bonnie Doon divides three ways between detached houses, low-rise apartments and buildings of five storeys or more; its tenure splits almost evenly between owning and renting; and its households run to two people, with more than four in ten homes holding one person. A neighbourhood built like that produces a lot of single-floor moves, and 69% of the jobs we have completed here were graded small.

Bonnie Doon neighbourhood guide for moving day

Three housing types mean three different mornings in Bonnie Doon. 15% of homes are in buildings of five storeys or more, where the lift and the loading bay belong to the building and want booking before the date; 26% are low-rise, where it is a staircase and a shared door instead; and 38% are detached, where the only question is where the truck can legally stand. Edmonton answers that last one with an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit for occupying the roadway, currently issued without a fee, with processing that takes about 6 business days and slows in peak construction season.

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).

Bonnie Doon moving costs, by the numbers

At least 16 moves have been attributed to Bonnie Doon since 2024, and that count is a floor rather than a total, while the 10 in the last twelve months is exact. Thirteen of the sixteen carry a local residential total, and $461 is the middle of those thirteen with tax included, with half between $427 and $726. That is a narrow band as well as a low one, and half the jobs ran 2 to 3.81 hours with a crew of 2, so sixteen moves is enough to show a pattern of short days and not enough to price yours from.

What a move this size costs in Southeast Edmonton

Sizes of move cut out of the completed residential jobs in Southeast Edmonton, the communities beside this one. Bonnie Doon 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 Edmonton

$510
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $451 and $929 · 13 moves

3.25 hours on site half ran 3–6 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

A one-bedroom apartment or condo move in Southeast Edmonton is a two-mover, one-truck job with a median of 3.25 hours on site. Half of the 13 jobs behind that figure ran between 3 and 6 hours and cost between $451 and $929, a band whose width is mostly access: stairs, a lift, and how far the truck can park from the door. The contents are a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen's worth of boxes, with the bed frame and a wardrobe the pieces that need both movers at once.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Edmonton, across 13 moves.

half fell between $683 and $1,526 · 24 moves

5.63 hours on site half ran 3.94–7 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Two bedrooms stays a two-mover, one-truck job in Southeast Edmonton, but the median day stretches to 5.63 hours on site. Half of the 24 jobs behind it ran between 3.94 and 7 hours and came to between $683 and $1,526. The same two movers carrying a second room's worth of furniture and boxes is what those extra hours are: the crew does not change, the number of trips does, which is why an accurate list of the large items is worth giving before the date.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Edmonton, across 24 moves.

A three-bedroom house move in Southeast Edmonton

$1,337
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $1,091 and $1,867 · 15 moves

7.75 hours on site half ran 5.5–9.5 hours
3 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

At three bedrooms the crew goes to 3 movers and the day becomes a full one: 7.75 hours on site at the median across Southeast Edmonton, with half of the 15 jobs behind it running 5.5 to 9.5 hours and landing between $1,091 and $1,867. This is the size where what is not in the bedrooms decides the day, since a basement and a garage carry more than a bedroom does, so a walkthrough before the date is worth more here than at any smaller size.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Edmonton, across 15 moves.

Moving to Bonnie Doon, or out of it

Slightly more of the moves attributed to Bonnie Doon are people arriving than leaving: 8 came into the community, half of everything counted here, against 7 that left it. With tenure split almost evenly between owning and renting, an arrival here is about as often a lease starting as a sale closing, which means the date is fixed weeks ahead, the building wants notice, and somebody other than you controls the entrance.

Both halves are small numbers, and both are counts of work already completed rather than a forecast of who arrives next. What they do say is that a Bonnie Doon booking is as likely to be an unload here as a load out, so the access question is worth answering for the address at this end of the job, whichever end of the move it is.

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.
