Falconer Heights is a small neighbourhood of houses that the people in them own. That combination sets almost everything about a move here: the date is a possession date rather than the end of a lease, so it is fixed weeks ahead by a lawyer rather than by a building manager, and the job is a whole house with a garage and a basement behind it rather than a unit behind a lobby door. Nothing here rises to five storeys, so there is no tower lift to reserve. The access question is how close a truck can get to the front door.
The figures below come from the ring of southwest Edmonton communities Falconer Heights sits inside, which is where the comparable work has been done.

How much does it cost to move in Falconer Heights?
The median residential move across the southwest Edmonton communities around Falconer Heights costs $886, total cost with tax, and half of those 199 jobs fell between $484 and $1,585. A local move is billed by the hour, at a rate set by the number of movers and the size of the truck, and the agreement states that rate before the crew starts.
-
Why is the price range for a move here so wide?
Because a single median has to cover every size of home. The same hourly rate produces a very different total for a one-bedroom flat and a four-bedroom house, and the 199 moves behind the $484 to $1,585 band include both. The hours are where the width really lives: half of those jobs ran anywhere between 2.63 and 7.63 hours on site.
-
How long does a move in Falconer Heights take?
The middle move across the 199 recorded in the surrounding southwest communities ran 4.75 hours on site, and half of them took between 2.63 and 7.63 hours. A whole house with a garage and a basement is a full working day rather than a morning, which is the shape most jobs in Falconer Heights take. There is no charge for travel time within city limits, so the clock is the on-site work.
-
Do you charge extra for fuel or travel time in Falconer Heights?
No. There is no fuel surcharge, no charge for travel time within city limits and no deposit on a local move. The hourly rate stated in the agreement is the whole of it, and it covers the movers and a truck sized to the job. Cactus is licensed, insured and bonded.

Falconer Heights neighbourhood guide for moving day
Falconer Heights is owner-occupied and detached almost throughout, so the questions that decide a booking are about the house rather than the building: how much of the basement is coming, whether the garage is part of the job, and what is going into storage instead. Nothing here loads through a lobby. On the street side, Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit is what covers a truck occupying the roadway; there is currently no fee on it, processing runs about 6 business days, and high-impact work is asked to file 10 working days ahead.

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.
