Hiring a moving company in Martindale, Calgary: what to expect
Here is what our crews have learned working in Martindale so far. Bounded by Metis Trail, 64 Avenue, 80 Avenue and Falconridge Boulevard; Martindale Boulevard carries the LRT at grade, so trucks cross it only at signalled intersections..
Many houses have legal or informal basement suites, so we confirm which entrance and which floor is moving before we quote and which side of the house has the walk-up.
Your address is 20 minutes from central Calgary, so that drive sits inside the single truck hour on the quote. As a result, you never pay it twice, and never at the hourly rate in both directions.

Moving in Martindale, Calgary: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Martindale Boulevard runs the LRT tracks through the middle, with Martindale Drive, Martin Crossing Drive and Martha's Way as the other collectors and the Martinvalley, Martingrove and Martinview roads and crescents branching off. Driveways are short, so we park on the crescent with cones and keep clear of the LRT crossings.
The homes and buildings here
Of 3,945 dwellings in 2021, 85 per cent are single-detached two-storeys built mostly from 1981 to 2010, 9 per cent are duplex-style suites and 4 per cent row houses; there are almost no apartment buildings. Attached garages are common, and many basements are finished as separate suites with side entrances.
Who moves in Martindale
Martindale counted 14,540 residents in 2021, 78 per cent owners and 55 per cent immigrants, with only 38 per cent speaking mainly English at home. We see large multi-generational households moving into or out of four- and five-bedroom houses, often with a tenant in the basement moving on a different day.
One tip for your Martindale move
If the basement suite is part of the move, tell us up front: the side-entrance stairwell is usually narrow and steep, and we will plan a separate carry path so upstairs and downstairs belongings never mix on the truck.
