Most of Eglinton East lives above the ground floor. Close to two-thirds of its homes are apartments in buildings of five storeys or more, and renting edges out owning, which means the typical address here is reached through a lobby, a corridor and a service elevator the building releases rather than the crew. What makes that mix worth naming is the household behind it: homes here hold 2.8 people, so it is a family-sized load arriving at an apartment-sized doorway.
The rest is houses: roughly one home in five is single-detached, with duplex apartments behind that. The driveway job has not disappeared here, but it is not the pattern the housing points at. The measured figures below belong to the ring of northeast Toronto communities Eglinton East sits inside rather than to the neighbourhood alone.
Moving costs around Eglinton East, by the numbers
Eglinton East reads through a pool of 43 northeast Toronto communities and the 86 residential moves recorded between them, with Banbury-Don Mills, Thorncliffe Park and Bayview Village carrying the counts. The middle job billed $662 with tax in and took 3 hours on site, half of them between $488 and $1,194, and 78% graded small. Eglinton East itself is a tower neighbourhood, 64% of its 8,195 homes in a building of five storeys or more, and that is the part of the pool it most resembles.

How much does it cost to move in Eglinton East?
$662 is the pooled middle across 86 residential moves in the northeast Toronto communities Eglinton East is grouped with, tax in, with half of them between $488 and $1,194. Nothing in that is measured inside this boundary. The rate is hourly, set by the number of movers and the size of the truck, and it is in the agreement before the crew starts.
-
What decides the length of a move in Eglinton East?
The lift. 64% of the homes here are in a building of five storeys or more, so most days run from a unit through a corridor to a service lift and out to a bay. The pooled middle is 3 hours on site with half of those jobs inside 5.25. Whether the lift is held for you or shared with the building is most of that difference.
-
Are the households here bigger than the small-move figure suggests?
They are. Homes in Eglinton East hold 2.8 people at the middle and only 25% are occupied by one person, which is a fuller flat than 78% small in the pooled record implies on its own. A fuller flat means more trips through the same lift, and since the billing is hourly, those trips are where the cost sits.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Eglinton East?
Toronto publishes nothing that covers a moving truck at the curb; the street occupation permit it does publish is written for moving containers. Ask 311 about your own address. For a tower, though, the booking that shapes the day is the building's, and that is arranged with the superintendent rather than the City.

Eglinton East neighbourhood guide for moving day
Two figures here set the plan. The share of homes in a building of five storeys or more is high enough that the elevator is the appointment everything else works around. It is reserved through the building rather than through us, and held for a window the crew then has to meet, so ask before the date is confirmed if the building will allow it. The other is household size: an apartment in Eglinton East often holds more than the word apartment suggests, so be generous about volume when the crew and the truck are being set. For the detached houses the open question is the curb instead, and Toronto publishes no rule covering a moving truck there, so 311 will say what applies to your block.

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.

It was a very smooth moving process. The movers were friendly, efficient, and came on time, which made us feel less stressed overall. They were super quick at disassembling and assembling the large furniture such as my bed even though I knew it was a bit complex to build.
