What does a one-bedroom move cost around McCauley?

$754 is the median for a one-bedroom apartment or condo move across the northeast Edmonton communities, with half of those 67 jobs between $518 and $1,097: two movers, one truck, 4 hours on site. McCauley has fewer than five moves of that size of its own, so that figure describes the surrounding set rather than the neighbourhood.

How long does a move in McCauley take?

The middle job recorded inside McCauley ran 4.25 hours on site, with half of them between 3.25 and 4.5 hours, a tighter window than the 2.75 to 5.63 hours of the wider northeast set, whose median is 4 hours. Since travel time within city limits is not charged, those are hours of actual work rather than time on the road.

Why is the price range in McCauley narrower than nearby?

Because the moves recorded in McCauley grade 100% small, against 75% across the surrounding northeast communities, so its middle half sits between $410 and $783 rather than the wider set's $499 to $1,194. A larger home is billed at the same hourly rate; it simply takes more hours, which is what widens a band.

Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in McCauley?

Only where the truck has to occupy the roadway itself. Edmonton issues an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit for that, and it currently carries no fee. Low-impact work such as a residential move is asked to file a minimum of 6 working days ahead, higher-impact jobs 10, with about 6 business days of processing behind the request.

Movers in McCauley: what we know about moving here

McCauley is a neighbourhood of renters living in small households, and that decides both the calendar and the doorway. Most jobs here begin at a building entrance rather than a driveway, and most follow a lease date, which is fixed weeks ahead and belongs partly to somebody else's schedule rather than yours alone. Only a small share of the housing rises to five storeys or more, so a walk-up staircase is the more usual obstacle and a booked service lift the exception rather than the rule.

What Cactus has recorded inside the boundary matches that picture: 100% of the moves here graded small, the median crew was two movers, and the middle job finished in 4.25 hours at a total of $746 with tax. The band under it is tight, $410 to $783 across the middle half of at least 5 jobs, which is what a run of single-load days produces.

McCauley neighbourhood guide for moving day

Two things on this panel decide the logistics rather than the price. McCauley's housing is mostly low-rise apartment and duplex stock with only a small share above four storeys, so a great many days here are stairs-and-a-doorway days, and where a lift does exist it is worth confirming with the building rather than assuming. The second is the curb: Edmonton's street-occupancy permit counts its notice in working days rather than hours, so a truck that needs the roadway in front of the door is a request to make the week before the date.

McCauley moving costs, by the numbers

Counted here is every household job whose loading address or unloading address sat inside the McCauley boundary. Read the all-time figure as a minimum rather than a total. Five jobs is a thin base for a median, so the $410 to $783 quartile band is the part worth planning against, with $746 as its centre rather than as a quote.

What a move this size costs in Northeast Edmonton

Sizes of move cut out of the completed residential jobs in Northeast Edmonton, the communities beside this one. McCauley 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.

A one-bedroom apartment or condo move in Northeast Edmonton

$754
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $518 and $1,097 · 67 moves

4 hours on site half ran 3–5.25 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Two movers and one truck handle a one-bedroom apartment or condo move across northeast Edmonton, and the middle of the 67 recorded finished in 4 hours on site, with half between 3 and 5.25. What moves a job inside that window is the stairs, whether a lift is available, and how far the truck can stand from the door. The contents are a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen's worth of boxes. These figures cover the wider northeast set; McCauley has fewer than five of this size on its own.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Northeast Edmonton, across 67 moves.

A two-bedroom apartment or condo move in Northeast Edmonton

$945
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $547 and $1,406 · 36 moves

5.13 hours on site half ran 3.75–7.5 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Still a two-mover, one-truck job, and the middle of the 36 two-bedroom moves across northeast Edmonton ran 5.13 hours, a little over an hour more than a one-bedroom for a second room of furniture and boxes. The middle half spans $547 to $1,406, a wider band than the smaller size carries, because how much lives in that second room varies more than the floor plan does. The figures are the northeast set rather than McCauley alone.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Northeast Edmonton, across 36 moves.

A three-bedroom house move in Northeast Edmonton

$1,160
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $1,006 and $2,355 · 12 moves

6.63 hours on site half ran 4.94–9.69 hours
4 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

A three-bedroom house move across northeast Edmonton is dispatched with four movers and one truck, and the middle of the 12 recorded took 6.63 hours on site, a full working day. The spread is the widest of the three cards, $1,006 to $2,355 across the middle half, because at this size a garage and a basement decide as much as the bedroom count does. A walkthrough before the date is what tells you which way a job of this size will go. McCauley has fewer than five of them, so these are the wider northeast figures.

Alex and Vlad moved us from our apartment to our new house and I couldn’t be happier! They arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently and had all the proper equipment to protect our floors and furniture. I would highly recommend this company!

Ivan and Serg were very professional. Nothing was damaged during the move. They arrived on time and it was a overall smooth process! The company seems to hire professional movers which is nice in comparison to what I have seen in the past with other companies.

This is my third time using this company. From booking and finalizing with Becca to the moving service from Nikita, George and Vlad, I am very satisfied. My heavy move took 7 hours of their very hard work. I also recieved a couple small gifts from the company, as well, on the day of.

Pool McCauley with the 31 northeast Edmonton communities around it and you get 175 residential moves, a 4-hour median and $751 with tax at the midpoint. McCauley's own $746 is effectively the same figure, but the spread underneath it is far tighter: $410 to $783 against $499 to $1,194 across the wider set. That is the signature of a book of 100% small jobs, set against a wider ring that runs 75% small, 22% medium and 3% large.

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.
