What does a one-bedroom move in Westmount cost?

$590 is the median for a one-bedroom move in Westmount, drawn from 10 completed jobs, with half of them between $455 and $683. That is two movers, one truck and 3 hours on site. It is the one size with enough of its own history here to publish; the two- and three-bedroom cards above read from the wider northwest set.

How long does a move in Westmount take?

The median is 3.25 hours on site, with half of the 29 recorded jobs running between 2.75 and 5 hours. Two movers covered the median job and both ends of that middle half, so the hours reflect the size of the household rather than the size of the crew. Travel time within city limits is not billed, so the clock is the work itself.

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

No. The hourly rate does not move with the calendar, so no date in Westmount is priced differently from another. What changes with the season is how much work there is: May and August carry the most completed moves here, and May, April and July across the surrounding northwest communities. The lever on what a move costs is the size of the job, not the month.

Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Westmount?

Only when the truck has to stand in the roadway rather than a driveway or a building's own loading spot. Edmonton covers that with the On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, which carries no fee under the current schedule but wants a minimum of 6 working days' notice for low-impact work and 10 for high-impact, with longer processing in peak construction season.

Is a move in Westmount different from one elsewhere in northwest Edmonton?

It is shorter and a little less expensive: 3.25 hours and $653 against 4 hours and $710 across the 250 residential moves pooled from the 24 northwest Edmonton communities around it. The difference is in the mix of work rather than in the rate, which is the same hourly rate everywhere in the city.

Movers in Westmount: what we know about moving here

Westmount splits down the middle, and that is the useful thing to know before booking. Roughly half its homes are apartments in low-rise buildings and most of the rest are houses; owning and renting divide almost evenly; and getting on for half of its households are a single person. So the work here is genuinely mixed: a flat carried down an internal stair on one job, a house with a driveway on the next, and dates set by a lease as often as by a possession day.

What the moves have in common is that they are short. The median job inside Westmount ran 3.25 hours on site against 4 hours across the 250 moves pooled from the northwest communities around it, 72% were graded small and 28% medium, and 2 movers covered the median job and both ends of the middle half. The median total came to $653 with tax in across the 22 that closed with a comparable local price, where the wider set sits at $710. Twenty-three of these moves happened in the last twelve months, so the record here is a recent one.

Westmount neighbourhood guide for moving day

Two things on this list change the day itself. Most of Westmount's housing is low-rise, with only a sliver of it five storeys or taller, so stairs do more of the work here than lifts do and the floor number is worth saying at the time of booking. The rest is detached, which is where the truck's position on the street starts to matter: Edmonton handles that with an OSCAM permit, nothing to pay under the current schedule, with lower-impact work wanting 6 working days of notice and heavier jobs 10, and turnaround slowing in peak construction season.

Booking the curb

On-Street Construction and Maintenance (OSCAM) Permit

City of Edmonton

What it costs: 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).

What a move in Westmount actually looks like

Four sizes of move, cut out of 29 completed residential jobs in Westmount. Another 13 were storage runs, container loads and part-home jobs whose paperwork records no bedroom count; they belong to none of the four.

A one-bedroom apartment or condo move in Westmount

$590
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $455 and $683 · 10 moves

3 hours on site half ran 3–3.69 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

This is the one card drawn from Westmount's own book: 10 completed one-bedroom moves, 35% of the work recorded here. Two movers and one truck is the dispatch, the median day is 3 hours on site, and half of them ran between 3 and 3.69, a narrow band for any size of job. The load is a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen's worth of boxes, with the bed frame and the wardrobe usually the only pieces needing both movers at once. Half the totals landed between $455 and $683.

A two-bedroom apartment or condo move in Northwest Edmonton

$843
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $623 and $1,398 · 47 moves

4.75 hours on site half ran 3.5–6.75 hours
2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Fewer than five two-bedroom moves sit inside Westmount's own boundary, so this card reads from the 47 recorded across northwest Edmonton instead. Two movers and one truck still cover it, and the median day is 4.75 hours on site with half running 3.5 to 6.75. That is an hour and three quarters longer than a one-bedroom, for a second room's worth of furniture and boxes. The middle half of the totals spans $623 to $1,398, which is what an hourly rate does once a job can be either a compact flat or a full townhouse.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Northwest Edmonton, across 47 moves.

A three-bedroom house move in Northwest Edmonton

$1,783
Median, total cost with tax

half fell between $1,213 and $2,849 · 17 moves

6.5 hours on site half ran 5.75–9.25 hours
3 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

At three bedrooms the crew goes to three movers and the day to 6.5 hours on site, measured across the 17 moves of this size in northwest Edmonton rather than in Westmount, which records fewer than five of its own. Half of them ran 5.75 to 9.25 hours and half of the totals fell between $1,213 and $2,849. The gap is wide because at this size the day is as much about the basement and the garage as about the bedrooms. A walkthrough before the date is what tells you where in that gap a job sits.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Northwest Edmonton, across 17 moves.

How much does it cost to move in Westmount?

The median local move in Westmount came to $653 with tax included, across the 22 jobs here that closed with a comparable local total, and half of them fell between $455 and $970. Because the rate is hourly, that band is a band of hours rather than of prices: the median day inside Westmount is 3.25 hours on site and 72% of the work here graded small.

What does a one-bedroom move in Westmount cost?

$590 is the median for a one-bedroom move in Westmount, drawn from 10 completed jobs, with half of them between $455 and $683. That is two movers, one truck and 3 hours on site.

Moving to Westmount, or out of it

Slightly more of the moves attributed to Westmount are arrivals than departures: 14 came into the community against 12 that left it, 48% and 41% of the total. With owning and renting close to evenly split here, an arrival is about as likely to follow a lease start as a closing, and that decides how much notice the building needs and who books the loading spot.

Because those two directions run so close together, this is a community that turns over rather than one that fills or empties. The practical consequence is the same either way: the crew, the truck and the hourly rate do not change with the direction a job runs. What changes is whose entrance has to be held open and how far the carry runs from that door to the truck.

We had a great experience with Cactus Moving. From the 1st phone call to the final box being moved. Nolan and Mo were friendly and very careful with our items. Would highly recommend if you're needing movers. Also, the welcome home gift at the end of the move was appreciated.

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.
