Households in Westwood are small, and more than half of them are a single person. The housing follows: two homes in three are apartments in low-rise buildings, with detached houses and duplex apartments making up most of the remainder and nothing in a building of five storeys or more. Four homes in five are rented rather than owned. Put together, that describes a community of one- and two-person flats where the move is timed to a lease rather than a sale, and where the load is usually light enough that the day is over well before the evening. Hours and prices below come from the broader ring of northeast Edmonton communities Westwood sits in.
Moving costs around Westwood, by the numbers
That ring covers 31 communities and 89 completed residential moves.

Belvedere, Parkdale and Clareview Town Centre contribute most of the count. Delwood is in the set too, along with McCauley and Alberta Avenue.

How much does it cost to move in Westwood?
The median local move across the 89 residential jobs in the northeast Edmonton communities around Westwood came to $676 with tax included, with half of them between $444 and $1,076. The rate is hourly. The number of movers and the size of the truck set it, and it is written into the agreement before the crew starts.
-
What does a one-person move in Westwood cost?
There is no separate price for a one-person move: the rate is hourly, so a smaller load takes fewer hours. Across the 89 moves in the communities around Westwood the median was $676 with tax in and 4 hours on site, and 73% of them were graded small. With most households here at one or two people, a shorter day than that midpoint is the realistic plan.
-
How long does a local move around Westwood take?
The middle job ran 4 hours on site, with half of the 89 recorded in the surrounding northeast Edmonton communities landing between 2.25 and 5.5 hours. Because no home in Westwood sits in a building of five storeys or more, the time-consuming part is usually the stairwell and the walk out to the truck rather than waiting on a lift. Travel time within city limits is not charged.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Westwood?
Only where the truck has to occupy the roadway rather than off-street parking. Edmonton's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit covers that, carries no fee under the current schedule, and asks for a minimum of 6 working days' notice for low-impact work and 10 for high-impact, with longer processing in peak construction season.

Westwood neighbourhood guide for moving day
With more than half of Westwood's households a single person and the typical home holding well under two people, most of what a crew carries here is one person's worth of furniture, which is the shortest kind of day there is. No Westwood address sits in a building of five storeys or more, so a tower lift is rarely what holds a job up. Parking usually is. A truck that has to sit in the roadway needs the City's On-Street Construction and Maintenance permit, which carries no fee at present and expects a minimum of 6 working days' notice.

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.

Great communication, well organized, efficient, respectful, and hard working. Thank you for helping us move our basement in a timely manner after the flooding - it was reassuring knowing it was in your capable hands.

Ivan and Serg were very professional. Nothing was damaged during the move. They arrived on time and it was a overall smooth process! The company seems to hire professional movers which is nice in comparison to what I have seen in the past with other companies.

This is my third time using this company. From booking and finalizing with Becca to the moving service from Nikita, George and Vlad, I am very satisfied. My heavy move took 7 hours of their very hard work. I also recieved a couple small gifts from the company, as well, on the day of.
