Above all, one detail shapes how we crew moves in Silverado. Silverado once had a single entrance and now has three, via Spruce Meadows Trail, 194 Avenue from Macleod Trail and Sheriff King Street, so pick the one on the correct side of the community..
Spruce Meadows draws about 500,000 visitors a year and its June-to-September tournaments back up the Spruce Meadows entrance, so we avoid that approach on event days.
Your address is 32 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 Silverado, Calgary: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Silverado lies south of Stoney Trail, east of Spruce Meadows, west of Sheriff King Street and north of 194 Avenue SW. Three entrances now serve it, off Spruce Meadows Trail, 194 Avenue from Macleod Trail and Sheriff King Street, where there used to be one; interior streets are wide and driveway-served.
The homes and buildings here
Of 2,545 households in 2021, 75% lived in single-detached houses, 12% in row houses, 6% in semi-detached and 5% in low-rise apartments. Building ran from 2005 onward, with 57% of homes from 2001 to 2010 and 41% since 2011, so expect two-storey front-garage houses and townhouse blocks with tandem garages.
Who moves in Silverado
Silverado had 7,975 residents in 2021, 87% in owner households, and a $125,000 median household income. Most clients are young families arriving from inner-city condos or from out of province, so jobs are three- and four-bedroom houses with a lot of nursery furniture and garage gear.
One tip for your Silverado move
Spruce Meadows hosts six outdoor tournaments between June and September and about 500,000 visitors a year, so on show days come in from Sheriff King Street rather than the Spruce Meadows Trail entrance, and tell us if your street backs onto the wetland buffer beside Spruce Meadows, the quietest side to load from.
