|---|---|---|
| Neighbourhoods | 21, including Jensen Lakes, Heritage Lakes and Erin Ridge North | Send the full address and neighbourhood. |

| Apartments | 15%, with about 1% in buildings of five or more storeys (Edmonton: 33% and 7.4%) | Few elevator towers, so stairs and parking need checking. |

| Main road to Edmonton | St. Albert Trail (Hwy 2); downtown is about 17 km, roughly 25 minutes by car | A short drive, so the time at each door matters more. |

St. Albert moving rates
St. Albert moves are priced with a flat rate for the first 3 hours. That covers a move within St. Albert, between St. Albert and Edmonton, or between St. Albert and another community we serve nearby, such as Spruce Grove or Sherwood Park.
- 2 movers and a truck: $750 flat for the first 3 hours, then the hourly rate for your date (from $150/hr)
- 3 movers and a truck: $950 flat for the first 3 hours, then the hourly rate for your date (from $195/hr)
- 4 movers and a truck: $1,200 flat for the first 3 hours, then the hourly rate for your date (from $245/hr); 4-hour minimum
- 5 movers and 2 trucks: $1,600 flat for the first 3 hours, then the hourly rate for your date (from $325/hr); 4-hour minimum
The flat price for the first 3 hours is the same on every date. Rates can be higher on busy dates (Friday to Sunday, May to September and around month-end). The booking form shows the exact hourly rate for your date. All prices are before GST (5%).
Packing, furniture disassembly and reassembly, pianos, safes, gym equipment, hot tubs and extra stops are confirmed by our Edmonton team before your move. A move out of the Edmonton region gets one written flat quote, and a rural address gets a written quote: for either, use our quote form rather than the booking form. Ready to pick a date? Send a booking request, or see all our Edmonton rates first.
Moves within St. Albert: mostly houses, some condos
A move across St. Albert is a short drive, so the day is decided at the two front doors. With seven homes in ten single-detached, a St. Albert move is often a house move:
- The basement. Tell us what is downstairs, and send a photo if the stairs are narrow or turn at the bottom.
- Garage and shed. Tools, bikes and patio furniture are easy to leave off a quote request. List them.
- Condo rules. Most condo and apartment buildings set their own move rules (elevator bookings, time windows, deposits or fees). Check with your property manager early.
- Newer west-side streets. Some newer or developing areas, such as Cherot and Riverside, are on the west and northwest side near Ray Gibbon Drive. Moving into a new build? Tell us if the driveway is unfinished or fencing limits where a truck can stop.
For room-by-room planning, see our guide to moving a family home.
Getting into Edmonton from St. Albert: which way in?
Edmonton addresses usually end in a quadrant, such as NW or SW, and the same number can appear in more than one quadrant, so include the suffix when you send the address.
Your destination sets the likely roads; the exact address and traffic decide the route on the day.
Starting near Ray Gibbon Drive on the west side? Tell us: your start point changes which road into Edmonton makes sense.
| Heading to | Roads to plan around | What to tell us |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown, the Ice District or Wîhkwêntôwin (formerly Oliver) | St. Albert Trail (Hwy 2), the main road in | Loading area, elevator booking and move window. |
| North-side neighbourhoods such as Castle Downs or Griesbach | St. Albert Trail or Anthony Henday Drive; no river crossing | Where the truck can stop at the new home. |
| South-side neighbourhoods such as Windermere, Terwillegar or Mill Woods | Anthony Henday Drive (the ring road) or a route through central Edmonton; either way the truck crosses the North Saskatchewan River | Your preferred arrival time; river crossings are rush-hour choke points. |
| The Mistatim industrial area, on the Edmonton side near St. Albert | St. Albert Trail, the Henday or Yellowhead Trail | Door or dock access and receiving hours. |
The Henday offers about 80 km of free-flow travel around Edmonton (Government of Alberta). The City of Edmonton's Yellowhead Trail (Hwy 16) freeway conversion is expected to run until about the end of 2027; allow extra time if your route uses it.
Moving between St. Albert and Edmonton? Send both addresses, with the Edmonton quadrant, to request your written quote.
Two cities, two sets of street rules
St. Albert is its own city, so parking and street-use rules at a St. Albert address are set by the City of St. Albert. Check with them before move day, especially if the truck must stop on the street. At an Edmonton address, the City of Edmonton's rules apply:
- Edmonton's Traffic Bylaw lets commercial vehicles stop to load and unload with hazard lights on. We plan the truck position before move day. That does not override no-stopping zones or a parking ban.
- After heavy snowfall, the City of Edmonton can declare a seasonal parking ban with at least 8 hours' notice. See our Edmonton winter moving guide.
Hiring movers in St. Albert: services that fit
Match the service to the home; most St. Albert moves fit one of these four.
Detached houses
With 70% of St. Albert homes single-detached, a typical move here runs from the basement to the garage.
Condos and apartments
Only about 1% of St. Albert homes are in buildings of five or more storeys, so many condo moves are low-rise. Ask your building about stairs, doors and truck access.
Packing
Full packing, just the kitchen, or unpacking. Ask about materials when you request your quote; we will confirm in writing what is supplied.
Leaving St. Albert for another province
Send your destination and what is moving. You get one written flat quote with the pickup date and delivery window.
Beyond St. Albert: neighbouring communities
Looking west of Edmonton? Spruce Grove and Stony Plain sit along Hwy 16A, and our page on moving in the Tri-Region covers both towns. On the east side of the city, Sherwood Park is Strathcona County's urban area; see our guide to Sherwood Park moves.
Heading north instead? Morinville is north of St. Albert on Hwy 2. Tell us your address and we will confirm in your quote.
St. Albert moving questions
How far is St. Albert from downtown Edmonton?
About 17 km, or roughly 25 minutes by car outside rush hour, via St. Albert Trail (Hwy 2), based on Google Maps directions from downtown Edmonton checked in September 2026. Traffic, construction and a loaded truck add time, so treat it as a distance guide, not the length of your move. Your written quote sets the actual schedule.
Do you move people from St. Albert to other provinces?
Tell us your St. Albert address, your destination and what is moving, and we will confirm in your quote. Long-distance and interprovincial moves are part of what Men In Trucks offers from the Edmonton area, and each one gets one written flat quote that sets out the pickup date and delivery window.
Who sets parking rules for a moving truck in St. Albert?
The City of St. Albert does. Because St. Albert is a separate city, the rules at a St. Albert address come from the City of St. Albert, not the City of Edmonton, so check its current rules before move day. Condo and apartment buildings also set their own move rules, such as elevator bookings and time windows, so ask your property manager early.
Planning a move in or out of St. Albert?
Send your St. Albert address, the other address (add the quadrant if it is in Edmonton) or your destination province, and the big pieces for a written quote before move day.
