Ramsay Heights is a mostly owner-occupied neighbourhood of houses, with low-rise flats and row houses alongside them and nothing in a building of five storeys or more. That mix decides the access rather than the price: a driveway and an interior stair on one job, a shared entrance and a walk from the parking area on the next, and the same hourly rate behind both.
Two in three homes being owned means the calendar here carries possession days more often than month-end lease turnover, and households run large enough that a full-day booking is the safer assumption for a house. The figures below come from the ring of southwest Edmonton communities Ramsay Heights sits inside. That is the nearest measured answer we hold on hours and price.
Moving costs around Ramsay Heights, by the numbers
Those number 53 in all and carry 199 completed residential moves between them: Garneau, Haddow, Terwillegar South, Chappelle and everything on its border. 70% of that work was graded small, 25% medium and 5% large. Their midpoint is 4.75 hours on site and $886 with tax included, and the central half of the jobs runs from $484 to $1,585. That spread covers a one-bedroom flat and a full house at the same hourly rate, which is why the range is the figure to plan against.

-
Why is the range of moving prices in Ramsay Heights so wide?
Because one median covers every size of home. Of the 199 moves nearby, 70% were graded small, 25% medium and 5% large, and a one-bedroom flat and a full house are the same hourly rate applied to completely different days, which is what stretches the band from $484 to $1,585. What moves a job inside it is how much there is to carry and how many flights sit between the door and the truck.
-
How long does a move in Ramsay Heights take?
The middle move across the 199 jobs completed in the southwest Edmonton communities around Ramsay Heights ran 4.75 hours on site, with half of them between 2.63 and 7.63 hours. Interior stairs in a row house or a walk-up are the usual reason a job sits at the longer end of that, so it is worth describing the route out when you book rather than only the number of rooms.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Ramsay Heights?
Only if the truck has to occupy the roadway, and Edmonton covers that 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, so it belongs on the list a week or more before the date rather than on the morning of it.

Ramsay Heights neighbourhood guide for moving day
Nothing in Ramsay Heights is in a building of five storeys or more, so no move here starts with a tower lift booking; row houses and low-rise walk-ups mean interior stairs instead, and that is where the hours go. Two in three homes are owned and households run to more than two people, so the loads tend to be family-sized rather than single-room. What is worth arranging ahead is the roadway: Edmonton covers a truck occupying the street with an On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, no fee at present, roughly 6 business days to process, and 6 working days of lead time on low-impact work, longer in peak construction season.

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.

We had a great experience with Cactus. The guys were efficient, strong and friendly. Owen who I dealt with via email and booking was good to deal with too. We have a couple minor repairs to deal with but I can confident in this organization to follow this though.
