Laurier Heights is a house neighbourhood: nearly nine homes in ten are detached. And yet close to three in ten of its households are a single person, and the household count is small. The two facts together produce a steady stream of moves out of a family-sized house by one or two people, which is a different day from a family of four leaving the same floor plan, on the same hourly rate.
A small share of homes sits in a building of five storeys or more, and those are the jobs where the lift and the loading area want arranging with the building first. Everything else here is a driveway. The panel that follows takes the measurement outward, across the southwest Edmonton communities on the Laurier Heights doorstep.
Moving costs around Laurier Heights, by the numbers
Fifty-four of those communities, 209 residential moves. The median time on site was 4.5 hours and half of the jobs ran 2.5 to 7.5. That five-hour middle half is what pooling every size of home does to a set. 69% were small, 25% medium and 5% large. The median price was $867 with tax counted, with quartiles at $477 and $1,546. Garneau, Haddow and Terwillegar South carry the most of that work, and each page below has its own figures.

How much does it cost to move in Laurier Heights?
The median residential move across the southwest Edmonton communities around Laurier Heights costs $867 with tax in, and half of the 209 completed there fell between $477 and $1,546. Cactus prices a local move hourly on the movers and the truck it needs, and puts that rate in the agreement before the job begins.
-
How long does a move around Laurier Heights take?
The middle job among those 209 moves ran 4.5 hours on site, and half of them took between 2.5 and 7.5 hours. That five-hour spread is roughly the difference between one person leaving a house and a full family leaving one, and it is measured in hours rather than in a different rate. Travel time within city limits is not charged.
-
Why is the price band around Laurier Heights so wide?
Because 209 moves of every size sit behind a single median: 69% graded small, 25% medium and 5% large. An hourly rate applied to a 2.5-hour day and then to a 7.5-hour day is what puts $477 at one quartile and $1,546 at the other. The number worth estimating is not the price but the hours, which is what a walkthrough before the date is for.
-
What changes if my home is in a taller building?
A small share of Laurier Heights homes sits in a building of five storeys or more, and for those the lift and the loading area are the first things to book with the building, worth arranging before the date rather than on it. Everywhere else in the neighbourhood the access question is where the truck can stand and how far the carry is.
-
What is included in the hourly rate?
The movers and the truck at the size the job needs, stated in the agreement before anyone starts, with the $867 median above a total that already has tax in it. Packing services and bin rentals are available for whichever end of the band you are at.

Laurier Heights neighbourhood guide for moving day
A neighbourhood this heavily detached is a driveway neighbourhood, and the planning is usually about volume rather than access: attics, basements and garages are where the hours go, and a walkthrough before the date is what turns that into a number. The few homes in a building of five storeys or more are the exception, and those want the lift arranged with the building ahead of time. For the street itself, Edmonton issues an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, currently with no fee attached, and asks for a minimum of 6 working days of notice on lower-impact work and 10 on heavier jobs.

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.

I had an absoloutely astonishing experience with Cactus moving. When I was looking for a moving company I couldn't find another moving company with as many amazing reviews as Cactus has. The man (i can't remember his name) on the phone was both professional and friendly.

We had a small job and Cactus did not hesitate to help us out. They came and moved our fridge and stove out of the kitchen while we were renovating our kitchen. The day after the renos were done they came and put it back. Thank you Oleg, Abhishek, and the other fellow for you very professional help.
