Overlanders is a neighbourhood of renters, and no single housing type owns it: low-rise flats, row houses and detached houses each take a large share of the homes. That combination decides a moving day here more than the address does. Most jobs follow a lease date rather than a closing date, and the load is as likely to come out of a shared building door as off a driveway.
Nothing here reaches five storeys, so the tower-and-loading-bay routine is not the shape of the work. The figures below come from the ring of northeast Edmonton communities Overlanders sits inside, which is the closest measure we hold of what a move in this part of the city takes.
Moving costs around Overlanders, by the numbers
That ring holds 31 northeast Edmonton communities and 82 completed residential moves between them. Belvedere, Parkdale, Clareview Town Centre and the rest all sit beside Overlanders. The middle one ran 3.88 hours on site and came to $671 with tax in, with half of the 82 falling between $436 and $1,087. Small jobs made up 76% of that work and medium ones 20%, which is the grading a flat or a row house usually earns.

The median local move across the northeast Edmonton communities around Overlanders is $671, total cost with tax, and half of those 82 completed jobs fell between $436 and $1,087. Small jobs are 76% of that work, which is what flats and row houses produce, and on an hourly rate a small job is a short day, which puts it at the $436 end of that band rather than the $1,087 one.

How long does a move in Overlanders take?
The middle move across the 82 jobs completed in the northeast Edmonton communities around Overlanders ran 3.88 hours on site, with half of them between 2.06 and 5.44 hours. Because the work is billed hourly, that spread is the useful figure: what lengthens a day is how much there is to carry and how many flights sit between the door and the truck.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Overlanders?
Only where the truck has to stand on the roadway; in Overlanders, where most homes are rented, the building often decides the rest of it. Edmonton covers road space with an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, which carries no fee under the present schedule. Processing runs to roughly 6 business days, with 6 working days' notice asked on low-impact work and 10 on anything heavier.
-
What is included in the hourly rate in Overlanders?
The movers and the truck at the size the job needs, with the rate written into the agreement before anything is lifted. The $671 median above is a total with tax rather than a subtotal, and on a lease-dated job in a rented neighbourhood like this one nothing is taken up front to hold the date.

Overlanders neighbourhood guide for moving day
Two things on this panel change the day itself. The first is tenure: most homes in Overlanders are rented, so the date is usually a lease date fixed weeks ahead, and the building rather than the household often decides where a truck may stand and for how long. The second is height: nothing here is in a building of five storeys or more, so there is no tower loading bay to reserve, and the carry is a stair and a walk from wherever the truck can legally sit. For the roadway itself Edmonton issues an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit: no fee at present, roughly 6 business days to process, and 6 working days' notice on low-impact work.

- No fee currently: OSCAM Permits associated with Temporary Crossing, Tree Shrub Hoarding and Waste Bin, POD or SeaCan work reasons currently have no fees associated with them. A daily permitting fee for on-street placement of commercial waste bins, PODs or SeaCans is planned but is on hold until further notice.
- How much notice
- Average processing time is 6 business days. Low-impact projects should be submitted a minimum of 6 working days prior to start of work; high-impact projects a minimum of 10 working days. Longer processing during peak construction season (March to October).

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.

Residential moving done right! Fantastic company. We used them today for our 2 bedroom move and everything went fantastic. The movers showed up on time and we got a free gift of coffee from their office to kick start our morning! Very nice personal touch. Both movers were polite and professional.
