Movers in Cliffcrest: what we know about moving here

Cliffcrest is house country. Most of what stands here is single-detached, most of it is owned by the people living in it, and the households inside are on the fuller side. Together those make the default job a whole home emptied rather than a unit cleared. That means stairs, a basement or a garage, and a truck that has to find a legal place to stand on a residential street rather than a loading bay somebody books for you.

A minority of addresses are in taller buildings, and those run the other way, on the building's schedule. The figures below come from the ring of northeast Toronto communities Cliffcrest sits inside, which is the nearest measure we hold of what a move in this corner of the city takes.

Moving costs around Cliffcrest, by the numbers

The band on this page is borrowed from 44 northeast Toronto communities and the 91 residential moves recorded between them, with Banbury-Don Mills, Thorncliffe Park and Bayview Village carrying the published counts. The middle job billed $680 with tax in and spent 3 hours on site, half of them between $491 and $1,221, and 78% graded small. Cliffcrest is a heavier neighbourhood than that pool: 58% of its homes are single-detached and 2.7 people live in each of them at the middle.

How much does it cost to move in Cliffcrest?

$680 is the pooled middle across 91 residential moves in the northeast Toronto communities Cliffcrest belongs to, tax in, with half of them between $491 and $1,221. It is not a measurement of this boundary and it covers apartments as well as houses. Since 58% of Cliffcrest is single-detached, a job here sits above that middle more often than below it.

  • How long does a Cliffcrest move take?

    Three hours on site is the pooled middle, with half of the 91 nearby jobs inside 5.25 hours. A detached house here, most of them built between 1961 and 1980, is at the longer end: stairs at the load, a basement to clear and a carry out to the driveway. What shortens it reliably is having everything boxed before the crew arrives.

  • Is a Cliffcrest apartment move different?

    22% of the homes here are in a building of five storeys or more, and those days run on a different set of constraints. The lift window and the loading bay are booked with the building rather than with us, and once they are held the job is usually quicker than a house of the same size would be. The rate does not change. The hours do.

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

    Toronto's street occupation permit is written for moving containers, and the City publishes nothing about a moving truck standing at the curb, so 311 is where to ask about your address. On the detached streets that make up most of Cliffcrest the driveway generally takes the truck, and the question stops there.

Cliffcrest neighbourhood guide for moving day

Two things decide a Cliffcrest moving day, and neither is on the price list. The first is that this is mostly house stock: stairs inside, a basement or a garage to clear, and furniture that has to turn a landing rather than roll into a lift. Measure the pieces that worry you before the date. That is the part of a house move which runs long. The second is the curb. Nothing the City publishes settles whether a truck standing outside your door needs anything, since the permit on the books was drafted for moving containers, so 311 is the check to make about your own street. Where the address is in one of the taller buildings instead, an elevator booking replaces the parking question entirely.

City of Toronto

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 deal with a lot of movers and see them do their job. Today I saw Alex,Nicole and Andrei of Cactus Moving do a pretty heavy duty move for one of my clients. I must say they did the move so smoothly and with a smile.

    I'm in the midst of a renovation job and needed to empty my house after 25 years of living there. After 3 weeks of purging and packing, my partner went on a quest to find a mover. One of the self-storage facilities that she spoke to recommended Cactus.
