What does a two-bedroom move in Ellerslie cost?

$577 is the median for a two-bedroom move in Ellerslie, and it is the size most of this neighbourhood's recorded work has been: 71% of the moves completed here. That is 2 movers, one truck and 4.25 hours on site at the median, with half of the five behind the card running 4 to 7 hours and reaching $1,352 at the upper quartile.

Why is Ellerslie's median lower than the southeast Edmonton figure?

Because the two rest on different mixes of work: 71% of the moves completed in Ellerslie graded small, against 64% small, 28% medium and 8% large across the 111 in the surrounding communities. A bigger job takes more hours on the same hourly rate, which is what pulls the wider median to $803 against $576 here. Five local totals is also a thin base, and the outer quarters of both bands are unpublished.

What does a three-bedroom house move cost around Ellerslie?

$1,109 is the median for a three-bedroom house move across the southeast Edmonton communities around Ellerslie, with half of those 19 jobs between $901 and $1,867. It typically runs 6.25 hours on site with 3 movers and one truck. Ellerslie has fewer than five of its own at that size, so the card above is drawn from the surrounding communities rather than from this neighbourhood.

What is a row-house move like in Ellerslie?

24% of Ellerslie's homes are row houses, which changes where the truck goes rather than what the job costs: the frontage is shared, so the loading spot is worth agreeing with a neighbour before the date, and the stairs inside are what set the pace. Only 1% of homes here sit in a building of five storeys or more, so a lift is rarely part of the plan. The rate is the same hourly one every local move is billed at.

Movers in Ellerslie: what we know about moving here

Ellerslie is a mixed and recently built community: detached houses, a substantial run of row housing and a smaller share of low-rise apartments, most of it owned rather than rented. The households are full ones. Put together, that means a job here usually loads from a driveway or a shared frontage rather than a lobby, and the date usually follows a possession rather than a lease.

The moves recorded inside the boundary run longer than their totals suggest. The median day is 4.25 hours on site, matching the wider southeast Edmonton set exactly, but the middle half of them spreads from 3.63 to 7.25 hours while the local totals stay narrow. 71% of the work here graded small, so the length is coming from something other than the size of the load, which is what the access questions below are about.

Ellerslie neighbourhood guide for moving day

Two things on this panel change the day. Row housing is a substantial share of the stock, and on a shared frontage where the truck stands is a neighbourly question before it is a legal one; if it has to hold part of the roadway, Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit covers that, carries no fee at present, and takes roughly 6 business days to come back. The other is household size: these are full homes rather than single-occupant ones, and a full home takes longer to pack than its floor area suggests, which is the argument for booking packing rather than extra hours.

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).

Ellerslie moving costs, by the numbers

Seven is a floor for Ellerslie since 2024: a move counts here when the address loaded or the address delivered to sits inside the boundary. Five of the seven carry a local residential total, and their middle value is $576 with tax in. The narrow gap between the quartiles on that line, $508 to $577, is a property of five jobs rather than a claim about pricing; a sixth would move it.

What a local move cost: $576 median
Residential moves in Ellerslie: at least 7
Crew hours on site: 4.25 median
Crew size: 2 movers median

What a move in Ellerslie actually looks like

Four sizes of move, cut out of 7 completed residential jobs in Ellerslie. Another 0 were storage runs, container loads and part-home jobs whose paperwork records no bedroom count; they belong to none of the four.

A one-bedroom apartment or condo move in Southeast Edmonton

$510
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $438 and $929 · 13 moves

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

Two movers and one truck, and the median one-bedroom across the southeast Edmonton communities finishes in 3 hours on site. The spread above that is what to watch: half of the 13 jobs behind the card ran 3 to 6 hours and cost $438 to $929, so the same size of home can be a morning or most of a day depending on the route between the door and the truck. Ellerslie has fewer than five of its own at this size, so the card is drawn from the communities beside it.

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

A two-bedroom move in Ellerslie

$577
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $576 and $1,352 · 5 moves

4.25 hours on site half ran 4–7 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

This is the size Ellerslie actually books: 71% of the moves completed here are two-bedroom jobs, run by 2 movers and one truck at a median of 4.25 hours on site. Half of the five behind the card ran 4 to 7 hours, and the money is where the small sample shows: a $577 median with the middle half reaching $1,352, which is a wide band on very few jobs. Read it as the middle of a handful of similar days rather than as a rate.

A three-bedroom house move in Southeast Edmonton

$1,109
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $901 and $1,867 · 19 moves

6.25 hours on site half ran 4.63–9.5 hours
3 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Three movers, one truck and a median of 6.25 hours on site make a full working day. Half of the 19 three-bedroom moves in the southeast Edmonton communities ran 4.63 to 9.5 hours and cost $901 to $1,867, and at this size the day is decided as much by what is stored as by what is in the bedrooms. Ellerslie has fewer than five of its own at this size, so the figures belong to the surrounding communities. A walkthrough before the date is what places a job inside that band.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Edmonton, across 19 moves.

How much does it cost to move in Ellerslie?

$576 is the median total with tax across the Ellerslie moves that carry a local residential total, and the five behind it fell between $508 and $577, a very narrow band on very few jobs. The 111 moves across the surrounding southeast Edmonton communities give the fairer sense of range, at an $803 median with half of them between $483 and $1,259. Cactus bills a local move by the hour, at a rate the crew and the truck decide, stated in the agreement before the crew starts.

We used Cactus for a recent move in Edmonton and were super impressed by their professionalism. I had a few hiccups in the booking process but the move itself was super smooth. I would recommend them to anyone making a move in Edmonton.

Did a long distance move and it was the smoothest move ever. The guys were so kind, respectful and on time. I trusted the reviews and wasn’t disappointed, plus we got our little Cactus. Highly recommended.

April 2024: From initial call to completion of move we were very impressed and happy with Cactus Movers. A crew of 3 showed up on time and worked hard throughout the day taking 2 full loads in their 26’ truck. They took care in preparations and protecting our stuff, floors and walls.
