A moving company in McKenzie Towne, Calgary: what to expect
Here is what our crews have learned working in McKenzie Towne so far. Most Inverness, Prestwick and Elgin homes have rear lanes with detached garages; we park the 26-ft truck at the front curb because the lanes are too tight to turn a long truck..
Traditional narrow streets with cars parked on both sides mean we send a scout ahead to confirm the curb space is open before the truck turns onto a crescent.
Your address is 25 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.

Streets, parking and the truck
McKenzie Towne Boulevard SE is the east-west spine; homes sit on Prestwick Boulevard, Prestwick Circle, Elgin Meadows Road, Elgin Avenue and Inverness View SE. Streets are narrow and tree-lined with lanes behind most lots, so the truck stops at the front curb and we carry through the porch entrance.
