Glengarry is mostly a neighbourhood of houses and row houses, with a minority of homes in a building of five storeys or more. That minority is large enough that the first useful question about a move here is which of the two you are in. A tower job is a booking problem: the lift and the loading entrance are reserved with the building, by somebody other than the mover. A house or row-house job is a street problem: where the truck stands, and how far the carry to the door runs. Owners hold most of the neighbourhood, so the date is more often a possession date than the end of a lease.
The hours and costs below come from the 96 residential moves recorded across the northeast Edmonton communities around Glengarry.

How much does it cost to move in Glengarry?
The median residential move across the northeast Edmonton communities around Glengarry costs $738, total cost with tax, and half of those 96 jobs fell between $458 and $1,192. A local move is billed by the hour, at a rate that follows the number of movers and the size of the truck, and the agreement states it before the crew starts.

How long does a move in Glengarry take?
The middle move across the 96 recorded around Glengarry ran 4 hours on site, and half of them took between 2.88 and 6 hours. Because a local move is billed hourly and travel within city limits is not charged, that on-site span is what the total is built from. A booked lift or a short carry to the truck is what keeps a job nearer the lower figure.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Glengarry?
Only if the truck has to occupy the roadway itself, which is covered by Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit and currently carries no fee. The City asks a minimum of 6 working days' notice for low-impact work and 10 for high-impact, and processing runs about 6 business days, longer through peak construction season. For a home in a building of five storeys or more, the reservation that matters more is the building's own lift.
-
Is a move from an apartment building in Glengarry different from a house move?
It is a different kind of day at the same hourly rate. About one home in nine here is in a building of five storeys or more, and those jobs wait on a lift and a loading entrance the building controls; the houses and row houses that make up most of Glengarry wait instead on stairs and on where the truck can stand. Both are billed the same way, and neither is charged for travel time within city limits.

Glengarry neighbourhood guide for moving day
Two different moving days live on this panel. One is a home in a building of five storeys or more, the smaller share of Glengarry but a real one, and those need the lift and the loading entrance reserved with building management ahead of the date. The other is a detached or row house, where the truck works from the street and the permit question can arise instead: Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit asks for 6 working days' notice on low-impact work and 10 on high-impact, at no fee currently. Saying which of the two you are is the most useful thing you can tell a mover.

- 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.
