Montgomery's hillside pockets have long exterior stairs and steep driveways, so we send a site photo request with the quote and add crew where the carry is uphill.

Moving in Montgomery, Calgary: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Montgomery is a river-adjacent grid with hillside pockets between the Bow River, Shaganappi Trail and 32 Avenue. Bowness Road is the main street, with 44 Street, 42 Street, Montana Drive, Mackay Road and the avenues from 17 to 23 Avenue inside. We load from the side streets, not Bowness Road, and take hillside blocks slowly.

One tip for your Montgomery move
Shouldice Park and the Bow River pathway draw crowds on summer weekends and the Bowness Road shops keep the main street busy; book a weekday if you can, and if your house sits on one of the hillside blocks, expect the crew to carry down exterior stairs to reach the truck.
