Not one of the homes the census counted in Centennial Scarborough sits in a building of five storeys or more, and nine in ten of them are owned rather than rented. There is no tower lift to reserve here and no loading dock to book: a move starts at a door the truck can be brought to, and the date is almost always a closing date.
What replaces those constraints is volume. Four homes in five are single-detached and most of the rest is row housing; households run to three people and barely one in ten is a single person. That is a community of families in whole houses, the profile that fills a truck and puts a job at the longer end of a working day. The figures immediately below are drawn from the wider ring of northeast Toronto communities Centennial Scarborough belongs to, since that is the closest measure we hold of the work here.
Moving costs around Centennial Scarborough, by the numbers
Centennial Scarborough is read here through its neighbours: 43 northeast Toronto communities and the 89 residential moves recorded across them, with Banbury-Don Mills, Thorncliffe Park and Bayview Village among the counted ones. The middle job in that set came to $675 with tax in on 3 hours of work, with 78% graded small and half of them billing between $488 and $1,247. That pool holds a great deal of apartment work. Centennial Scarborough has 0% of its homes in a building of five storeys or more, so read it with that in mind.

How much does it cost to move in Centennial Scarborough?
$675 is the borrowed middle, tax in, from the 89 residential moves logged across the northeast Toronto communities around Centennial Scarborough, with half of them between $488 and $1,247. That pool mixes apartments and houses. This neighbourhood is 80% single-detached, so expect a job here to sit above the middle of it. The rate is hourly either way.
-
Is a Centennial Scarborough move always a house move?
Close to it. 80% of the homes are single-detached and another 11% are row houses, with 0% in a building of five storeys or more. No lift to book, no bay to hold, nobody at a building to arrange it with. The day is a driveway, a staircase and a front door, and how much of the house is boxed beforehand sets the clock.
-
Does a large household make a Centennial Scarborough move longer?
It does. Homes here hold three people at the middle and only 12% are occupied by one person, with 92% owner-occupied. That is a full-house load: bedrooms, a basement and a garage rather than one bedroom and a kitchen. The nearby middle day is 3 hours, but a quarter of those jobs ran past 5.25, and this is the kind of address that lands there.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Centennial Scarborough?
Toronto has published nothing covering a moving truck at the curb, only a street occupation permit written for moving containers, so 311 is the place to ask about your own street. In practice, where 80% of the homes are detached, the driveway takes the truck and nobody needs to ask at all.

Centennial Scarborough neighbourhood guide for moving day
With nothing in Centennial Scarborough in a building of five storeys or more, the logistics question is rarely an elevator and nearly always the driveway and the street. The City has never published a page settling whether a moving truck at the curb needs anything, and the street permit it does offer is written for containers, so a call to 311 about your own street is the one piece of admin worth doing early. Past that, near-universal ownership means most moves here are pinned to a closing date. A closing date is a date that can shift, which is worth saying when you book rather than the week of the move.

Toronto publishes no page that covers a moving truck at the curb, and its Street Occupation Permit names moving containers only. Confirm with 311 whether your street needs a permit.

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.

I had to move my elderly parents to a retirement facility and took a chance on Cactus Moving after a google search- and they did not disappoint! Niko and Josh were very personable and took extra care moving my parent’s belongings. I would definitely recommend this company for your move.

Cactus movers did an excellent and efficient job with our move. Hodi was very sure to be mindful of my requests since we have a newborn and wanted everything to go smoothly. Niko and Alex were very considerate and worked swiftly to ensure we had a stress-free move.

We used them before the new year, Niko and his colleague arrived earlier than scheduled. They did an amazing job, very easy to work with, professional and thorough. Will always recommend them. Also, thanks for the moving gift.
