Carlingwood is one of Ottawa's classic west-end family neighbourhoods — built primarily in the 1950s and 1960s and centered around the iconic Carlingwood Mall. Bordered by Carling Avenue, Woodroffe, and the Britannia/Westboro areas, Carlingwood combines mature tree-lined streets, established bungalows and family homes, and increasing modern infill development with excellent access to west-end employment, shopping, and the Queensway.
We've completed hundreds of Carlingwood moves over the years — 1950s bungalows on Iona, Sherwood, and Belmont; mid-century family homes throughout the district; and condo moves at properties near Carlingwood Mall. Our crews know the residential parking patterns, the mature property access logistics, and the family-focused dynamics that characterize this established west-end community.
Whether you're moving into a starter bungalow, a renovated mid-century family home, or a Carlingwood-area condo, our local expertise handles the move efficiently. Most local Carlingwood moves cost between $700 and $1,800 with our team.
