Movers in Somerset, Calgary: what to expect
First, one thing to know about Somerset before you book. Somerset is hemmed in by the LRT right-of-way on the east and Stoney Trail on the south, so trucks arrive via 162 Avenue or James McKevitt Road with no way through from Sundance..
The 24% of Somerset homes that are apartment condos are all in buildings under five storeys, so most upper-floor moves here are stair carries that we price by floor.
Your address is 30 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 Somerset, Calgary: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Somerset is boxed in by the CTrain right-of-way to the east, James McKevitt Road to the west, Stoney Trail to the south and 162 Avenue to the north. Entry is from 162 Avenue or James McKevitt Road only; Somerset-Bridlewood station at 17100 6 Street SW anchors the east edge and nearby streets carry park-and-ride overflow.
The homes and buildings here
In 2021 the 3,085 households were 70% single-detached, 5% row and 24% apartments under five storeys. Some 59% of dwellings were built between 1991 and 2000 and 31% in the 2000s, so the stock is two-storey houses with attached garages plus three-storey wood-frame condo buildings along the transit side.
Who moves in Somerset
Somerset counted 8,320 people in 2021 with 76% owner households and a $97,000 median household income. We see first-time buyers moving from a station-side condo into a detached house a few blocks west, and families arriving for Somerset School and Samuel W. Shaw School catchments.
One tip for your Somerset move
For condo moves, ask the board for the loading zone rules before the date, because these buildings have no freight elevator and the walk from the visitor stalls can be long; for houses, note that Stoney Trail's James McKevitt interchange is the quickest way onto the ring road.
