Moving in White Rock: what to know
White Rock is small, about 5 square kilometres and 22,000 people, and most of its homes are apartments. In the 2021 Census, 41% of White Rock homes were in low-rise apartment buildings and 15% in buildings of five or more storeys, while 24% were single-detached houses. 35% of households rent, and about 3,200 residents had moved in the year before.
Much of the city is hill. It rises from the beach on Semiahmoo Bay and the Waterfront along Marine Drive up to Uptown, and many homes sit on steep lots with long stairs down to the street. Condos near the beach have little loading space, so we check access before moving day. Downsizing moves are common here.

Homes and buildings: moving day in White Rock
Houses on the hill. Many detached homes sit on sloping lots with long stairs between the house and the street. There's no extra charge for the stairs; tell us how many there are so we size the crew for the carry.
Condos near the beach. Buildings near Marine Drive and in the Town Centre have little loading space. Book the elevator or loading bay with your strata, then send us the window.

What every White Rock move includes
- Moving blankets and plastic wrap for furniture, dollies and straps for heavy pieces, and floor protection.
- Beds, tables and other furniture taken apart where needed and put back together at the new place.
- A crew sized to your home: usually 2 movers for a studio or one-bedroom, 3 for two or three bedrooms, and 4 for larger homes.
- No travel fee, and no extra charge for stairs, a long carry or a building without an elevator.
- Moves 7 days a week. A few days' notice is usually enough.
- Boxes and supplies for sale: cardboard and wardrobe boxes, mattress and TV covers, tape, packing paper and bubble wrap.
- Storage if there's a gap between moving out and moving in.
- Anything you're not taking hauled away in the same booking.
As a rough guide, a one-bedroom move takes 3 to 4 hours, a two-bedroom 4 to 6 hours and a three-bedroom 6 to 9 hours. If you need to cancel a booked move, the deposit isn't refunded, but it can be moved to a new date.
Condo moves: you book the elevator and loading bay with your building. If your strata charges a fee for the move, BC's Strata Property Regulation allows a fee for using common property only when it is reasonable and set out in a bylaw or a ratified rule (section 6.9, checked 1 October 2026).
Parking the moving truck in White Rock
Parts of White Rock are signed Permit Parking Only. A resident permit is good only on the block printed on it and the next block, vehicles without one can be ticketed or towed, and no vehicle may stay on City property for 72 consecutive hours. The Waterfront, Peace Arch Hospital and Centennial Arena areas are pay parking. Tell us if your street is signed, so we can plan where the truck stops.
Closing part of a road or sidewalk needs a City Road Use Permit, requested by email to engpermits@whiterockcity.ca.
When it snows, the City clears major roads, emergency routes and bus routes first, and it barricades steep hills such as Oxford Street when they become dangerous, so a hillside move may have to wait until the street reopens.
Before moving day in White Rock
- Tell us how many stairs there are between the house and the street, and how steep the lot is.
- In a condo, book the elevator or loading bay with your strata first, then send us the window.
- On a Permit Parking Only street, tell us when you book.
- If the truck would have to close part of the road or sidewalk, email engpermits@whiterockcity.ca about a Road Use Permit.
- The City's curbside collection doesn't take large items at all, so plan what isn't coming with you; we can haul it away in the same booking.

Questions
Straight answers
How much do movers cost in White Rock?
From a hillside house with long stairs to a beach condo, the price depends on the size of the home, not the stairs. A studio or one-bedroom move is a flat $599, and a 20% deposit ($120) books the date. Two-bedroom homes run $800 to $1,400 and three-bedroom homes $1,200 to $2,000; hourly moves are $120 to $180 an hour for 2 movers and a truck. There is no travel fee.
Can a moving truck park on a permit-only street in White Rock?
Permit Parking Only areas are for vehicles showing a resident permit, and others can be ticketed or towed. Tell us if your street is signed so we plan where the truck stops; closing part of a road or sidewalk needs the City's Road Use Permit.
Do you charge extra for stairs on White Rock's hillside lots?
No. Long stairs and steep lots never change the price. Tell us how many stairs there are so we send enough movers.
Do you do downsizing moves in White Rock?
Yes. We do seniors' moves and downsizing, and we can haul away what isn't coming in the same booking.
Do you move from White Rock to the Interior or Alberta?
Yes. Long-distance moves within BC currently run $2,000 to $9,000, and moves to Alberta $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the size of the home and the distance. We don't move households beyond Alberta.
