Hillcrest Village mostly moves at street level. Close to three homes in ten are in a building of five storeys or more, but the larger share is detached and row housing, and it is heavily owner-occupied. The typical job here has no lift to wait on and no bay to book; instead there are stairs at both ends, a driveway or a curb to work from, and a basement or garage that often turns out to be part of the day.
Owned homes change hands on closings, so dates here are set by sale agreements more often than by lease ends, and the household sits in the middle of the range. The comparison figures beneath this come from the ring of northeast Toronto communities Hillcrest Village sits in.
Moving costs around Hillcrest Village, by the numbers
The comparison band pools every community next to this one, 43 northeast Toronto neighbourhoods and 86 residential moves, because Hillcrest Village's own closed jobs sit under the floor at which we publish a figure. Banbury-Don Mills supplies 18 of the 86, Thorncliffe Park 11 and Bayview Village 10, with Don Valley Village, North Toronto and Henry Farm making up much of the remainder. The middle job cost $677 with tax and ran 3 hours on site. Half the bills fell between $489 and $1,255 and half the days between 3 and 5.25 hours.

What does a move in Hillcrest Village cost?
$677 is the middle bill across the 86 residential moves in the northeast Toronto communities around Hillcrest Village, total cost with tax, and half of them fell between $489 and $1,255. The rate is hourly and set by how many movers and how big a truck the job needs. None of it is a quote for your address.
-
Do most moves here start at a lift or at a front door?
A front door, more often than not. 30% of homes in Hillcrest Village are in a building of five storeys or more, and the larger share is detached and row housing, so the usual day is stairs at one end, a driveway or a curb, and often a basement as well. Where the address is a tower, the elevator and the loading bay are the building to book.
-
How long does a move in Hillcrest Village take?
The middle job in the pooled set ran 3 hours on site, with half between 3 and 5.25 hours and 78% graded small. Households here hold 2.6 people and 72% of homes are owned, which tends to mean settled contents and a fuller house than a rental turnover produces. Counting what is in the basement before the date keeps a day near that middle.
-
Where do the Hillcrest Village figures come from?
From the 43 northeast Toronto communities that border one another here and the 86 completed residential moves between them, Hillcrest Village included. Banbury-Don Mills accounts for 18, Thorncliffe Park 11 and Bayview Village 10; Don Valley Village, North Toronto and Henry Farm carry fewer. A figure for this neighbourhood alone would rest on too few jobs to mean much.
-
Do you charge for travel time to Hillcrest Village?
No. Travel inside city limits is not billed, so the invoice covers the hours worked at the two addresses. There is no deposit on a local move and no fuel surcharge either. Packing and bin rental are available and quoted separately when you ask for them.

Hillcrest Village neighbourhood guide for moving day
This panel describes a place that mostly moves at ground level, and the practical questions follow: where the truck can stand, how many steps to the front door, whether the basement is coming as well. Booking is simpler than in a tower neighbourhood, but the carry is longer and the volume higher. Close to three homes in ten do sit in a building of five storeys or more, and those are the ones needing the elevator and the loading bay reserved with the building. Toronto has published nothing settling whether a moving truck needs a permit at your curb, so 311 is the call worth making a few days out.

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.
