Prince Charles is a compact neighbourhood of houses. Most of its homes are detached or semi-detached, none of them in a building of five storeys or more, and roughly two in three are owned rather than rented. A move here usually starts at a front path and follows a possession date rather than a lease end.
The households inside those houses are small and the housing is old: the middle home comes out of the oldest build band the census reports. Small households in older houses produce jobs that vary more than the address type alone suggests, because what takes the time is the route out rather than the volume: the stair, the turn, the distance to wherever the truck can stand. The figures below come from the ring of northwest Edmonton communities Prince Charles belongs to, which is the nearest measured answer we hold on hours and price.
Moving costs around Prince Charles, by the numbers
That ring is 25 northwest Edmonton communities with 271 completed residential moves between them: Oliver, Downtown, Queen Mary Park, Westmount and the rest beside Prince Charles. Their middle job took 4 hours on site and came to $700 with tax in, half of them between $484 and $1,076, and 75% were graded small. Because the work is billed by the hour, the more there is to carry and the more flights it crosses, the further up that spread a job sits. That is why the range rather than the midpoint is the figure to plan against.

How long does a move in Prince Charles take?
The middle move across the 271 jobs completed in the northwest Edmonton communities around Prince Charles ran 4 hours on site, with half of them between 2.75 and 5.75 hours. 75% of that work was graded small. Because a local move is billed hourly, the spread rather than the midpoint is what to plan against, and a walkthrough before the date is what says where in it a particular home falls.
-
What does a house move in Prince Charles involve?
Almost all of it happens between a front door and the curb: no home in Prince Charles is in a building of five storeys or more, so there is no lift or loading bay to book with a building, and the access is a stair and a front path. What decides the total is the amount to carry and the route out, since the rate is hourly. Across the 271 moves in the surrounding communities the median day ran 4 hours.
-
Do you charge for travel time to Prince Charles?
No. There is no charge for travel time within city limits, so a Prince Charles move is billed for the hours the crew is actually working, a median of 4 of them across the surrounding communities. Prince Charles is about 0.7 km across, so the clock that matters is the one running between the front door and the truck.

Prince Charles neighbourhood guide for moving day
Nothing in Prince Charles is in a building of five storeys or more, so no part of a move here waits on a building's lift schedule; it waits on the street and the front path. That makes the roadway the thing worth arranging. Edmonton covers a truck occupying it with an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit: no fee under the present schedule, roughly 6 business days to process, and a minimum of 6 working days' notice for low-impact work, 10 for anything heavier. That puts it on the checklist a week or more ahead rather than on the morning of the move.
Most homes in Prince Charles 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.

George and Lovish did not disappoint. They also had to move my plant which was 12’ tall. (Lol sorry) I received a coffee from Cactus to start my day and at the end they gave me a cactus. 🌵 The guys were quick through out the moving process and very personable.

They did a move 1 month ago. I just realized that I have left a review. I even took a shot with the packing that they did. I was impressed because I didn't even tell them how important my furniture for me!!! So I guess they just have a policy on how to do the jobs step by step.
