Movers in Summerside: what we know about moving here

Summerside is family housing of recent build, and its moving days are long ones. The median job inside the boundary ran 6.75 hours on site against 4 across the surrounding southeast communities, and the median total came to $1,214 where the wider set sits at $712. Fifty-nine per cent of the work here was still graded small, which is the tell: these are long days rather than oversized loads.

The census explains why. Three in five homes are detached, households are large and only a small minority hold a single person, and nothing in the community is in a building of five storeys or more. There is no tower lift to book and no loading bay to share, but there is a garage, a basement and a family's worth of furniture between the front door and the truck. Owners heavily outnumber renters, which ties dates to possession days rather than to the end of a month.

The cards below split that work by the size of the home. The two-bedroom card is Summerside's own; the other two pool the surrounding southeast communities.

Summerside neighbourhood guide for moving day

Three things on this panel explain the long days. Three in five homes are detached and another eighth are row houses, households are large, and the community is recent enough that the housing is consistent. A job here is a full home with a garage and a basement rather than a suite, whatever it is graded. Only about a fifth of homes are rented, so dates track possession rather than lease ends. If the truck needs the road, Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit covers it, no fee applies under the current schedule, and processing runs longer through construction season.

Summerside moving costs, by the numbers

A Summerside address at either end of the job puts it in this count: at least 17 of them since 2024, with 9 in the last twelve months, which is an exact figure rather than a floor. Twelve of the 17 closed with a comparable local total and $1,214 is the middle of those, tax included, with half between $632 and $1,558. Half of the 17 ran between 5.25 and 9.25 hours on site with a median crew of 2 movers. Seventeen jobs is a real sample; the southeast set below is still the steadier read on range.

What a move in Summerside actually looks like

Four sizes of move, cut out of 17 completed residential jobs in Summerside. Another 8 were storage runs, container loads and part-home jobs whose paperwork records no bedroom count; they belong to none of the four.

  • 3.13 hours on site half ran 2.44–5.56 hours
  • 2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Two movers and one truck cover a one-bedroom apartment or condo move across southeast Edmonton, and the middle of those 14 jobs finished in 3.13 hours on site. Half ran between 2.44 and 5.56 hours and half cost between $429 and $929. Access is what moves a job inside that band, since the contents of a one-bedroom are fairly predictable. Summerside has fewer than five of its own at this size, so the figures beside this card come from the communities around it.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Edmonton, across 14 moves.

This is the one card cut from Summerside's own work: 5 two-bedroom moves, 29% of everything completed inside the boundary, at a median of $1,212 with tax in. Two movers and one truck is the median dispatch and the day runs 6.5 hours on site, with the middle half between 6 and 6.75 hours. That is a tight band, which is what happens when the homes behind it resemble one another. Half of the five cost between $1,029 and $1,536.

half fell between $921 and $1,772 · 20 moves

  • 6.5 hours on site half ran 4.69–8.88 hours
  • 3 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Three movers and one truck, and 6.5 hours on site at the median: most of a working day. Half of the 20 three-bedroom house moves across southeast Edmonton ran between 4.69 and 8.88 hours and cost between $921 and $1,772, which is a wide spread for one size: at this point the garage and the basement are as much of the job as the bedrooms are. Summerside has fewer than five of its own at this size, so the card pools the surrounding communities.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Edmonton, across 20 moves.

How much does it cost to move in Summerside?

The median local move in Summerside is $1,214, total cost with tax, from the 12 jobs here that closed with a comparable total, and half of them fell between $632 and $1,558. That is high against the $712 median for the surrounding southeast communities, and the reason is hours: 6.75 on site here against 4.

  • What does a two-bedroom move in Summerside cost?

    $1,212 is the median for a two-bedroom move in Summerside, drawn from the 5 completed here at that size, which is 29% of all the work inside the boundary. Half of them fell between $1,029 and $1,536. It is two movers, one truck and 6.5 hours on site at the median, and the hours band is tight: 6 to 6.75 for the middle half.

  • Why does a move in Summerside cost more than in the neighbourhoods nearby?

    Because the days are longer, not because the rate is different: 6.75 hours on site at the median here against 4 across the southeast set, on the same hourly rate. Three in five homes in Summerside are detached and households are large, so a job is a full home with a garage and a basement rather than a suite. Even so, 59% were still graded small, which says the loads are ordinary and the days are not.

  • What does a three-bedroom house move cost near Summerside?

    $1,126 is the median for a three-bedroom house move across southeast Edmonton, with half of those 20 jobs between $921 and $1,772 and 6.5 hours on site at the median. It is three movers and one truck at the median. Summerside has fewer than five of its own at that size, so the card above pools the surrounding communities.

  • Is it cheaper to move at a certain time of year in Summerside?

    No. The hourly rate does not change by month, so no date in Summerside is priced differently from another. What moves with the season is how much moving is going on: August is the heaviest month across the surrounding southeast communities, then June and November. Because the rate is hourly, the size of the job is the real lever on the total, which is what the cards above are for.

  • Do you charge for travel time to Summerside?

    No. Travel time within city limits is not charged, so a Summerside move is billed for the hours the crew is actually working: a median of 6.75, with half of the 17 jobs here running between 5.25 and 9.25 hours. There is no deposit on a local move and no fuel surcharge. Packing services and bin rentals are the two ways to shorten the day before it starts.

Ask Edmonton in person, or price the move yourself in a minute.

Moving to Summerside, or out of it

More of the moves attributed to Summerside are people leaving than arriving: 8 out against 6 in, 47% of the count against 35%. In a community where roughly four homes in five are owned, a departure is far more often a sale closing than a lease ending. The date is fixed weeks ahead by a possession day, and both ends of the job are usually a driveway rather than a booked entrance.

Arrivals are the smaller half at 6, and in a neighbourhood of owner-occupied houses they land the same way departures do: a date set well in advance, a driveway at the door, and a full household rather than a suite to carry. Whichever direction yours runs, the crew, the truck and the hourly rate are the same. What changes is how much of the home is packed before the crew arrives.

    Had a great experience with Cactus moving. We moved from a townhouse with a ton of stairs to a bungalow. The team of George, Vlad, and Raj were absolute beasts moving things up and down the stairs.

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.
