Movers in Holyrood: what we know about moving here

The residential moves recorded inside Holyrood have been short, contained days. The middle one ran 3.25 hours on site with two movers, and it came in under both the hours and the cost that the surrounding southeast Edmonton communities record. That is a $665 middle bill against $843 across the wider set. Five jobs is a narrow base, so the sensible reading is a band rather than a quote.

The census points at why. This is a neighbourhood of small households, close to a third of its homes holding a single person, in housing that is mostly detached and mostly built in 1960 or before. Small households make compact loads, and an older house tends to make its hours on the stair run rather than on the room count. Not all of it is house work, though: about one home in six here sits behind a building door, in a low-rise block or in a building of five storeys or more, and that is where an elevator booking enters the plan.

Holyrood neighbourhood guide for moving day

Two things on this panel change a Holyrood moving day. The first is that not every job is a house job: about one home in six sits behind a building door, in a low-rise block or a building of five storeys or more, and where that is the pickup, the lift and any loading zone are worth arranging with the building before the date. The second is the curb, for everything else. A truck standing on the roadway is covered by Edmonton’s On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit. There is no fee at present, and the minimum notice is 6 working days for low-impact work, 10 for high-impact.

Holyrood moving costs, by the numbers

These figures cover residential moves booked to an address inside Holyrood’s own community boundary since 2024. At least 5 are on record and that count is a floor rather than a total. Five is a narrow base, so the medians mark a band rather than predict a bill: $665 with tax at the middle, half of them between $564 and $789, and 3.25 hours on site with half between 2.25 and 3.75. Both sit under what the wider southeast Edmonton set records, which is consistent with the small households here.

What a move this size costs in Southeast Edmonton

Sizes of move cut out of the completed residential jobs in Southeast Edmonton, the communities beside this one. Holyrood has fewer than five of its own at each size, and a band resting on fewer than five moves is not published here at any scope.

half fell between $463 and $929 · 14 moves

  • 3.13 hours on site half ran 3–5.56 hours
  • 2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

A one-bedroom apartment or condo move in this part of Edmonton is a two-mover, one-truck day, and the middle one finishes in 3.13 hours on site. The load is a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen’s worth of boxes, with the bed frame and the wardrobe usually the only pieces needing both movers at once. Half of the 14 behind this card ran between 3 and 5.56 hours; the stair run, whether there is a lift, and how far the truck can park from the door are what move a job inside that band.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Edmonton, across 14 moves.

half fell between $703 and $1,526 · 24 moves

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

Still a two-mover, one-truck job, but the middle day runs 5.63 hours on site. That is a second bedroom’s worth of furniture and boxes, and usually a bulkier living room to break down. The 24 moves behind this card spread from $703 to $1,526 across their middle half, which is what an hourly rate does to loads that vary more than a room count suggests. At this size the packing is what most often decides the hours, so it is worth settling before the date rather than on it.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Edmonton, across 24 moves.

A three-bedroom house move in this part of Edmonton is a three-mover, one-truck day and a full working one: 7.25 hours on site at the middle, with half of the 16 behind this card running between 4.94 and 8.88 hours. At this size the day is as much about the garage and the basement as about the bedrooms, and the middle half of the bills sits between $1,042 and $1,742. A walkthrough beforehand is what says which of those two figures a job is nearer.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Edmonton, across 16 moves.

How much does it cost to move in Holyrood?

The median local move recorded inside Holyrood is $665, total cost with tax, across at least 5 residential jobs, with half of them between $564 and $789. That is a narrow base, so the wider southeast Edmonton figure of $843 across 113 moves is the safer number to plan against. Either way the rate is hourly, set by the number of movers and the size of the truck, and named in the agreement before the crew starts.

  • What does a one-bedroom move cost near Holyrood?

    $521 is the median for a one-bedroom apartment or condo move across the southeast Edmonton communities Holyrood sits inside, with half of the 14 behind it between $463 and $929, at two movers, one truck and 3.13 hours on site. That card is cut from the wider set rather than from Holyrood alone.

  • What does a three-bedroom house move cost near Holyrood?

    $1,239 is the median for a three-bedroom house move across those same southeast Edmonton communities, with half of the 16 behind it between $1,042 and $1,742. It runs three movers, one truck and 7.25 hours on site at the middle: a full working day rather than a morning, because the garage and the basement come with the bedrooms.

  • How long does a move in Holyrood take?

    The middle move recorded inside Holyrood ran 3.25 hours on site with two movers, and half of them took between 2.25 and 3.75 hours. Across the wider southeast Edmonton set the middle day is 4.25 hours.

  • Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Holyrood?

    Only if the truck has to stand on the roadway. Edmonton covers that with an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, which carries no fee at present and asks for a minimum of 6 working days’ notice on low-impact work, 10 on high-impact. Where the pickup is behind a building door instead, the lift and any loading zone are the building’s to book rather than the City’s.

  • What is included in the hourly rate?

    The movers and the truck at the size the job needs, priced at a rate the agreement names before the crew starts. The $665 median above is total cost with tax, not a subtotal. There is no deposit on a local move and no fuel surcharge. Packing services and bin rentals are available in Holyrood and are quoted separately.

    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.

Widen to the 30 southeast Edmonton communities around Holyrood, meaning Summerside, Bonnie Doon, King Edward Park and the rest of the ring, and the record is 113 residential moves: 65% small, 27% medium and 8% large, a 4.25-hour middle day and a $843 middle bill with tax, half of them between $508 and $1,337. Holyrood’s own jobs have been shorter and less costly than that wider middle, on a much smaller count, which is why the cards below are cut from the wider set.

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.
