Hillview is a mixed southeast Edmonton neighbourhood, and the mix is the point: detached houses, row houses and low-rise apartments in roughly that order, with nothing above four storeys. Two homes in every five here are attached to something, so a crew booked in Hillview is as likely to be working a shared entrance and a stair run as a driveway. Those are different days, planned around different things.
Tenure leans towards ownership without being one-sided, so possession dates and lease ends both appear in the calendar, and the second of those is the harder one to move. What a day here costs and how long it runs is measured below, across the ring of southeast Edmonton communities Hillview sits inside.

How much does it cost to move in Hillview?
$843 is the median local move across the 111 residential jobs in the southeast Edmonton communities around Hillview, total cost with tax, with half of them between $500 and $1,214. Those figures come from the communities around Hillview rather than from inside it, so treat the band as the answer and the midpoint as its middle. On an hourly rate the distance between its ends is work, not a different rate.

How long does a move in Hillview take?
The middle move across those 111 jobs ran 4.25 hours on site, with half of them between 2.75 and 6.75 hours. That band is wide because it pools a unit's worth of furniture with a full house; on an hourly rate the hours are the bill, so the question worth answering before the date is how much is actually coming.
-
What is a row house or walk-up move like in Hillview?
Two homes in every five in Hillview are attached to a neighbour or in a low-rise building, so a good share of jobs start at a shared entrance with stairs behind it rather than at a driveway. The entry, the stair run and where a truck may legally wait are the three things worth settling first, because each of them is hours.
-
Is the price agreed before the crew starts?
Yes. The hourly rate is set by the number of movers and the size of the truck the job needs, and the agreement states it before anyone lifts a box. Nothing is added afterwards: no deposit on a local move, no fuel surcharge, no hidden fees.
-
Do you charge for travel time within Edmonton?
No. There is no charge for travel time within city limits, so a Hillview move is billed only for the hours the crew is actually working, a median of 4.25 across the 111 nearby jobs. Where the truck has to stand on the roadway rather than a driveway, Edmonton’s On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit covers it and currently carries no fee.

Hillview neighbourhood guide for moving day
The housing mix is the thing to plan around in Hillview. Nothing here is in a building of five storeys or more, so no tower lift needs reserving. But with row houses and low-rise apartments accounting for a large share of the homes, plenty of jobs still begin at a shared door with stairs behind it, and where the truck can stand becomes the first question rather than the last. Edmonton answers that one with an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit: no fee at present, a minimum of 6 working days for low-impact work and 10 for high-impact.

- 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.

Thank you Cactus!!! 😁😁😁 Andrii, Vadim and Chint were super nice. They move our heavy couch 🛋️ without any damages - put a moving blanket on it, shrink wrapped it and protected floor with some special pads. It was very effective and looked professional. I'm recommending that company.

I recently used Cactus for my relocation, and I couldn't be more pleased with their service! From start to finish, the team Andrii and Ivan was very professional, efficient, and incredibly careful with all of my belongings.
