Edmonton Neighbourhood Moving Guide
Not all Edmonton moves are created equal. Difficulty varies wildly by neighbourhood — here is what our crews deal with.
Downtown / Oliver
High
High-rise condos, mid-rise apartments, some heritage homes
- Freight elevator booking required — reserve at least 2 weeks ahead for a 2–4 hour window
- Many buildings require a damage deposit and proof of insurance (COI) from the mover
- One-way streets, bus lanes, and bike paths make truck positioning difficult
- Long carry distances from loading zone to unit — budget extra time
Old Strathcona / Whyte Ave
Mod–High
Walk-up apartments (3–4 storey), character homes, newer infill
- Walk-ups mean stair carries but no elevator booking hassles
- Narrow alleys behind buildings — check truck access before moving day
- Avoid festival weekends (especially Fringe in August) — the area is nearly impossible to navigate
- Street parking on Whyte Ave is heavily contested
Garneau / McKernan (University)
Mod–High
Heritage homes (many subdivided), walk-up apartments, student housing
- Converted heritage homes have narrow staircases and doorways not built for modern furniture
- September is chaos — 180,000+ students return to the U of A area
- Street parking competition is intense; mature trees line narrow streets
- Mid-week moves strongly recommended for this area
Mill Woods
Low–Mod
Single-family homes (50%), row housing (25%), apartments
- Curvilinear street layout with cul-de-sacs — GPS is essential, it is easy to get lost
- Cul-de-sac turnarounds can be tight for large trucks
- Once you find the address, moves are typically straightforward suburban
- Excellent highway access via Whitemud Drive and Anthony Henday
Bonnie Doon / Holyrood
Low–Mod
1950s bungalows, two-storey homes, newer infill
- Grid street pattern with back alleys — good for truck access
- Older homes have narrow basement stairs and smaller doorways
- Some original homes have detached garages in the back lane
- Post-war basements often have low ceilings — measure large items first
Riverbend / Terwillegar
Low–Mod
1970s–90s two-storey homes, newer contemporary construction
- River valley properties have steep driveways — winter moves here are extra challenging
- Terwillegar Drive expansion project (ongoing) can cause major detours
- Terrain is hilly — plan for longer carry distances on sloped lots
- Newer Terwillegar homes have wide doorways and modern layouts
Sherwood Park
Low
Suburban single-family homes, 1960s split-levels to modern builds
- Wide streets, attached garages, driveways — among the easiest moves in the region
- 1960s–70s split-levels have half-flights of stairs throughout the home
- Account for Sherwood Park Freeway commute time if moving to/from Edmonton
- Rush hour adds significant time on the Sherwood Park Freeway
St. Albert
Low
Single-family homes across all eras, newer suburbs like Erin Ridge
- Straightforward suburban moves — very few high-rises
- Older core neighbourhoods (Grandin, Braeside) have tighter streets and character homes
- St. Albert Trail rush hour traffic adds time for moves to/from Edmonton
- Newer areas like Erin Ridge North have wide doorways and easy access
Windermere / Heritage Valley
Low
Modern single-family, townhomes, some with triple garages
- Newest construction in Edmonton — wide doors, clean driveways, no surprises
- Still-developing areas may have temporary road closures or unpaved streets
- About 30 minutes from downtown — factor in drive time for movers
- Some laned homes require navigating the back alley for garage access
Best days to move in Edmonton: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are the least expensive and easiest to schedule. Better elevator access in high-rises, fewer conflicts with other tenants, and lower hourly rates. Mid-month dates have significantly lower demand than beginning or end of month.

Edmonton Moving Rules You Need to Know
Parking bylaws, noise restrictions, winter parking bans, and condo rules — here is the quick reference.
When Can You Move? (Noise Bylaw 14600)
| Day | Earliest Start | Latest End |
|---|---|---|
| Monday–Saturday | 7:00 a.m. | 9:00 p.m. |
| Sundays & Holidays | 9:00 a.m. | 7:00 p.m. |
Moving Truck Parking (Traffic Bylaw 5590)
- Trucks over 4,500 kg or 12.5 metres cannot park on residential streets — except while actively loading/unloading with hazard lights on. This is the exception that makes moving day legal.
- No vehicle can park in one spot for more than 72 hours continuously.
- Parking on your front lawn is prohibited under Zoning Bylaw Section 45(7).
- Commercial parking permits ($60 + GST for 2 years) allow use of loading zones. Trucks over 4,500 kg don't need one — they can use loading zones by default.
Winter Parking Bans (Critical for Winter Moves)
Edmonton operates a two-phase parking ban system after heavy snowfall. If a ban is declared on your moving day, your truck may not be able to park on your street.
- Phase 1 (Major roads): Declared with 8 hours notice. Affects arterial roads, bus routes, and business improvement areas. Lasts 3–4 days. Fine: $250.
- Phase 2 (Residential): 24 hours advance notice via yellow signs. Individual neighbourhoods affected for ~72 hours.
Check ban status at my.edmonton.ca and subscribe to alerts before your moving day.
