Movers in Dalhousie, Calgary: what to expect
First, one thing to know about Dalhousie before you book. Parts of Dalhousie replace back lanes with rear pathways, so garages face the street and the truck sits on the driveway; near Dalton Drive we watch for LRT-bound traffic at peak..
A quarter of Dalhousie dwellings are apartments, including towers on Dalton Drive, so we ask the manager about elevator pads and loading-dock hours before quoting.
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 Dalhousie, Calgary: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Dalhousie sits between John Laurie Boulevard, Shaganappi Trail and Crowchild Trail; Dalton Drive leads to the LRT station and Dalhart Road, Dalrymple Way, Dalkeith Hill and Dalcastle Crescent run through the blocks. Parts of the community have rear pathways instead of lanes, so garages face the street and the truck backs onto the driveway.
The homes and buildings here
Established in 1967, with 77 percent of dwellings built between 1961 and 1980. About 54 percent are detached bungalows and two-storeys on large lots, 13 percent row townhouses, 8 percent semi-detached, 14 percent apartments under five storeys and 10 percent in towers of five or more storeys, such as Vista Views near Dalton Drive.
Who moves in Dalhousie
Dalhousie had 8,530 residents in 2021, 64 percent owners and 36 percent renters, in households averaging 2.4 people with a median income of $85,000; 33 percent are immigrants. Original 1960s owners are now selling large family houses, while students and staff from the university fill the towers and townhouses near the station.
One tip for your Dalhousie move
If you are moving into one of the towers on Dalton Drive, ask the manager for the loading-dock hours and elevator pad schedule; the LRT station and Dalhousie Station shopping centre next door make the street busy, and a truck without a booked bay ends up circling.
