About Your Calgary to Edmonton Move
The Calgary to Edmonton corridor is Alberta's most traveled route, connecting the province's two major cities along the QE2 Highway. At just 300 km (about 3 hours), this is one of the most straightforward long-distance moves, with no mountain passes, tolls, or ferry crossings to navigate.
Moving from Calgary to Edmonton typically means lower housing costs. Edmonton's average single-family home price sits around $400,000 compared to Calgary's $545,000, and rent is significantly cheaper. As Alberta's capital, Edmonton offers abundant government jobs and a thriving arts and culture scene. While you'll be farther from the Rocky Mountains, you'll gain easier access to northern Alberta and Edmonton's famous river valley park system.
Two Small Men handles this busy Alberta corridor daily. Our crews know the QE2 Highway well and can often complete your move in a single day, minimizing disruption to your schedule.
Your belongings will travel approximately 300 km from Calgary, Alberta to Edmonton, Alberta.
Leaving Calgary
What to Know When Leaving Calgary
Before leaving Calgary:
Since you're staying within Alberta, there's no need to change your driver's license, vehicle registration, or health coverage—just update your address with Alberta registries and Alberta Health Services.
Transfer your utilities from ENMAX/ATCO in Calgary to EPCOR in Edmonton. Both cities use different utility providers, so you'll need to set up new accounts.
If selling your Calgary home, you may have equity to apply toward Edmonton's more affordable market—or pocket the difference. Housing costs in Edmonton are notably lower, giving you more purchasing power.
Arriving in Edmonton
Your Guide to Edmonton
Welcome to Edmonton! Here's your arrival guide:
Update your address at any Alberta registry agent within 14 days. Since you're staying in Alberta, your driver's license, vehicle registration, and health coverage remain valid—just update the address.
Edmonton's LRT system connects key areas, though the network is smaller than Calgary's CTrain. The city is more spread out, and most residents find a car essential. Traffic can be worse than Calgary despite the smaller population.
Edmonton experiences colder winters than Calgary (no chinooks to provide relief), so prepare for sustained cold. The trade-off is the spectacular Northern Lights visible from the city and incredible summer festivals—Edmonton is Canada's 'Festival City.'
Popular neighborhoods include Strathcona/Old Strathcona for arts and nightlife, Glenora for established family living, The Quarters downtown for urban renewal, and suburbs like Windermere and Summerside for newer family homes.
