Two different kinds of moving day happen in Hodgson. Most of its homes are detached houses with driveways, but close to a third are apartments in low-rise buildings, so a crew booked here is about as likely to be carrying down an outside stair as loading off a drive. Ownership is high and the housing is relatively young, both of which usually mean a date fixed well in advance and a whole home rather than a suite.
Both are routine work, and the figures below cover both: they pool Hodgson with the southwest Edmonton communities next to it, which is the closest measure held of what a move in this part of the city takes.
Moving costs around Hodgson, by the numbers
That pool is 54 southwest Edmonton communities and 204 completed residential moves. Seventy-one per cent were graded small, a quarter medium and 5% large. The middle job took 4.75 hours on site, half of them between 2.5 and 7.5 hours, and cost $864 with tax counted, with the quartiles at $479 and $1,511. Garneau contributes 21 of the moves, Chappelle 9, and Blue Quill and Brander Gardens 8 each.

How much does it cost to move in Hodgson?
$864 is the median local move across the 204 residential jobs recorded in the southwest Edmonton communities around Hodgson, total cost with tax, with half of them between $479 and $1,511. Cactus bills a local move by the hour, on a rate set by the number of movers and the size of the truck, and the agreement names it before the crew starts.
-
Why is the range between $479 and $1,511 so wide?
Because one median covers every size of home in the set, and on an hourly rate the hours are the bill. Half of those 204 moves ran between 2.5 and 7.5 hours on site, a spread of five hours. What puts a job at one end or the other is the volume coming out, the stairs behind the door and the distance to the truck.
-
Does the time of year change what a move costs in Hodgson?
No: the hourly rate is the same in every month, so no date is priced differently from another. What changes with the season is how much work there is. Across the southwest Edmonton communities around Hodgson, August is the heaviest month on record, then June and April. The size of the job, not the date, is what decides the bill.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Hodgson?
Only where the truck has to stand on the roadway instead of a driveway. That is what Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit covers; it carries no fee at present, takes around 6 business days to process, and asks for a minimum of 6 working days' notice on low-impact work, 10 on high-impact.
-
Is there a deposit on a local move?
No. A local move takes no deposit, carries no fuel surcharge, and is not billed for travel time within city limits. The hours the crew works, at the rate the agreement states, is the whole of it. Packing services and bin rentals are available in Hodgson and are quoted separately.

Hodgson neighbourhood guide for moving day
The mixed housing is what to plan around. A detached home here is usually a driveway job with an interior stair; the homes in low-rise apartment buildings are a different exercise, where the walk from the unit to the truck and where the truck may legally stand are the two questions worth settling first. Nothing in Hodgson is in a building of five storeys or more, so there is no tower lift to reserve. Edmonton covers on-street standing with an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit. It carries no fee at present and takes around 6 business days to process.

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.

We had a great experience with Cactus. The guys were efficient, strong and friendly. Owen who I dealt with via email and booking was good to deal with too. We have a couple minor repairs to deal with but I can confident in this organization to follow this though.
