Movers in Bendale South: what we know about moving here

Bendale South is a house neighbourhood with an old date on it and full households inside it. Close to three homes in five are single-detached and another fifth are duplex apartments, units inside houses rather than in purpose-built blocks. Only a small share sit in a building of five storeys or more, and two-thirds of the homes are owned. In practice that means a move here starts at a front door and a driveway rather than at a lobby, a service elevator and a loading window somebody else controls.

What makes the days long is who lives in them. Households here run past three people and very few homes hold somebody on their own, in housing whose middle home dates to 1960 or before. Bigger loads coming out of older houses is the combination that fills both a truck and a day. The figures directly below are drawn from the surrounding communities rather than from Bendale South alone.

Moving costs around Bendale South, by the numbers

Nothing here is measured on the Bendale South boundary. The band pools 43 northeast Toronto communities and 89 completed residential moves, with Banbury-Don Mills, Thorncliffe Park and Bayview Village among the ones carrying a count. Its middle job billed $675 with tax in and ran 3 hours on site, half of them between $488 and $1,247, and 78% graded small. Bendale South's own homes are fuller than that pool suggests, 3.2 people apiece, so the small end of it is not the part to plan around.

How much does it cost to move in Bendale South?

$675 with tax in is the middle across the 89 residential moves recorded in the northeast Toronto communities around Bendale South, with half of them between $488 and $1,247. It is borrowed, and it covers every size of home in that pool. Cactus bills by the hour, on a rate set by the crew and the truck and written into the agreement before the day starts.

  • Does a bigger household mean a longer day in Bendale South?

    It usually does, and this is the neighbourhood to say it about: homes here hold 3.2 people at the middle and only 17% are occupied by somebody living alone. 58% are single-detached, mostly built in 1960 or before. More people means more rooms and more basement, and all of it turns into hours on site rather than into a different rate.

  • What is a move out of a duplex apartment in Bendale South like?

    21% of the homes here are duplex apartments, a unit carved into a house rather than one in a purpose-built block. Those days pair an apartment's load with a house's access: no lift to reserve, no bay to hold, just the stairs, the front door and how close the truck can get to it. That last part usually decides the hours.

  • Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Bendale South?

    Toronto publishes no page covering a moving truck at the curb; the street occupation permit it does publish is written for moving containers. On streets this old and this heavily detached, where a truck can stand varies house by house, so a call to 311 about your own address is worth making rather than assuming it either way.

Call Toronto or get a quote online. Either works.

Bendale South neighbourhood guide for moving day

Two practical notes come off this list. A third of the homes here are rented, so some dates run to a lease end while the owner-occupied majority run to closings, and the two do not crowd the same days as sharply as they would in an all-rental community. The other is that a fifth of the homes are duplex apartments, a unit inside a house rather than inside a purpose-built block. There is nothing to reserve with a building for those, and nothing to wheel a load into either; the stairs are the whole of the access question, as they are for the detached majority.

Figures come from Cactus’s own completed residential moves (business and high-frequency accounts excluded) and from official municipal open data; they are medians and quartiles, never averages, every published figure rests on at least five moves, percentages are rounded, and all-time counts are floors because some older pickup and drop-off addresses were never geocoded.
