Montrose is an older neighbourhood, its middle home built in 1960 or before, and it is more mixed than the houses on it suggest: close to two in five households rent rather than own. That matters for the calendar more than for the crew, because it means the moving year here answers to lease dates and possession days in roughly equal measure rather than to one or the other.
The housing itself is low-rise throughout, so a job starts at a door on the ground and the vertical part of it is whatever stairs the home has. The figures below come from the ring of northeast Edmonton communities Montrose sits inside, which is the closest measure we hold of what a move here takes.
Moving costs around Montrose, by the numbers
That ring is 29 northeast Edmonton communities, Belvedere, Parkdale, Clareview Town Centre and the rest of the ground next to Montrose, with 80 completed residential moves between them. Their median came to $613 with tax included, half of the jobs landing between $432 and $1,059, and the middle one ran 3.63 hours on site against a spread of 2 to 5.25. Seventy-nine per cent were graded small and 18% medium. Eighty moves is a modest sample, so read it as a range rather than a quote.

How much does it cost to move in Montrose?
The median local move across the northeast Edmonton communities around Montrose costs $613, total cost with tax, and half of those 80 jobs fell between $432 and $1,059.
-
How long does a move in Montrose take?
The middle job across those 80 northeast Edmonton moves ran 3.63 hours on site, with half of them finishing between 2 and 5.25 hours. Because travel time within city limits is not charged, that figure is time spent working rather than time on the road.
-
Why is the price range around Montrose so wide?
Because a single median has to cover every size of home. Of the 80 moves in the surrounding northeast communities, 79% graded small and 18% medium, and at one hourly rate the gap between those is a gap in hours, which is how a band from $432 to $1,059 comes out of one set of jobs.
-
Does a move cost more on a lease-end date in Montrose?
No. The hourly rate does not change with the date, so a lease-end move and a possession-day move in Montrose are priced identically. That matters here because tenure is close to evenly split and both kinds of date are ordinary; what changes the bill is how much there is to carry, not which day it is carried on.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Montrose?
Only if the truck has to occupy the roadway itself, since a driveway or off-street space needs nothing. Edmonton issues an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit for road occupancy, currently free of charge, and asks for a minimum of 6 working days of notice on low-impact work such as a move, with about 6 business days of processing.

Montrose neighbourhood guide for moving day
Two entries here decide how the day gets arranged. Montrose's housing is low-rise throughout, so there is no tower lift to reserve and no shared loading bay to negotiate: every job starts at a door on the ground. That leaves the street as the open question, and it is the one with a lead time on it. Edmonton runs curb space through its On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, which currently carries no fee but counts its notice in working days rather than hours, so if the truck has to stand in the roadway, the request goes in more than a week ahead of the date.
Most homes in Montrose were built 1960 or before

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.

Big shout out to George and Lovish who moved 4400 sq ft worth of furniture , in under 6 hours, during a snow storm. They arrived on time, with an extremely positive attitude despite knowing that they had to work in -25 degree weather.

George and Lovish were amazing and very accommodating while moving a fridge for my grandparents! The delivery was very timely despite the 2 feet of snow and a rocking blizzard and they navigated the tight spaces of our home with ease!
