Streets, parking and the truck
Glenbrook is a flat 1.9 km2 grid between 26 Avenue SW, 37 Street SW, Richmond Road and Sarcee Trail. Streets are unmetered with on-street parking, and the truck stops at the curb; Richmond Road at Sarcee Trail is a split intersection without an interchange, so westbound trucks queue there at peak times.

With 70% of dwellings built before 1981, the stock is 1950s and 1960s bungalows, side-by-side duplexes, row-house complexes and three-storey walk-up apartments.
Who moves in Glenbrook
Glenbrook had 7,240 residents in 2021, and 46% of households rent; the median household income is $77,000. We mostly move renters between two-bedroom walk-ups and row houses, plus buyers taking on original bungalows near A.E. Cross and Glenbrook schools for renovation.

Walk-up apartments here have no elevators and shared entrances, so ask your landlord to prop the door and reserve the closest visitor stall; for row-house complexes, tell us the unit number and which side the parking court is on so we can stage the truck at the nearest street frontage.
