Movers in Humber Heights-Westmount: what we know about moving here

Two housing types account for nearly nine in ten homes in Humber Heights-Westmount, and they could hardly be less alike: apartments in buildings of five storeys or more, and single-detached houses, in almost equal measure. A move here is therefore either a lobby, an elevator and a loading area, or a driveway and a set of interior stairs, and which one it is changes the whole plan. There is very little in between them.

The rest of the profile leans settled: most homes are owned, the household sits in the middle of the range, and the housing is mostly of one era rather than several. The figures underneath come from the ring of southwest Toronto communities around Humber Heights-Westmount.

Moving costs around Humber Heights-Westmount, by the numbers

With too few local jobs to stand on their own, the figures above pool 50 southwest Toronto communities and the 143 residential moves between them. Fort York-Liberty Village holds 10 of those, Annex and High Park North 9 apiece, with Alderwood, Etobicoke City Centre and Junction Area at 8 each. Half of the 143 cost between $541 and $1,223 around a $733 median with tax, and half ran between 3 and 5.5 hours on site around a 3.25 hour median. 77% graded small. Humber Heights-Westmount divides almost evenly between towers and detached houses, so both kinds of job in that pool matter here.

What does a local move cost in Humber Heights-Westmount?

$733 at the median across the 143 pooled southwest Toronto moves, total cost with tax, with half of them between $541 and $1,223. The rate is hourly, set by the number of movers and the truck size the job needs, and written into the agreement before the crew starts. What the neighbourhood decides is which of two very different days you are having.

  • Which kind of move am I having in Humber Heights-Westmount?

    One of two. 48% of homes here are in a building of five storeys or more, where the elevator and the loading area are booked with the building before a start time means anything. 41% are detached houses, where a driveway, a front staircase and often a basement replace all of that. The rate is the same either way. The sequence of the day is not.

  • How long does a move in Humber Heights-Westmount take?

    The middle job in the pooled set ran 3.25 hours on site with half of them between 3 and 5.5 hours, and 77% were graded small. A detached house holding 2.4 people is bigger work than that middle describes, and a one-bedroom in a tower is smaller. Travel inside city limits is not billed, so the hours counted are hours at the address.

  • Where do these Humber Heights-Westmount figures come from?

    From 50 southwest Toronto communities that touch one another and the 143 completed residential moves recorded across them. Fort York-Liberty Village provides 10, Annex and High Park North 9 each, then Alderwood, Etobicoke City Centre and Junction Area at 8 apiece. A median for this neighbourhood on its own would rest on too few jobs to be worth quoting.

  • Do I need to arrange anything with the City in Humber Heights-Westmount?

    Only if the truck has to stand where parking is not allowed. Toronto publishes no page covering a moving truck at a residential curb and its street occupation permit is written for containers, so 311 is the check for your block. On the detached side of the neighbourhood a driveway usually settles it, and in a tower the loading area does.

Humber Heights-Westmount neighbourhood guide for moving day

Because the housing splits so evenly, the useful question here is which of the two moves you are having. For the homes in a building of five storeys or more, the elevator and the loading area are booked with the building rather than with the crew, and that is worth doing as soon as the date is set. For the detached side, the constraint is the driveway and how close a truck can get to the door. Either way, Toronto has no published rule on parking a moving truck at the curb; the permit it publishes for street occupation names containers only. Check your own street with 311.

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.

    Josh and Alex were so incredibly helpful when I had to move twice in a month due to unforeseen circumstances!! So friendly and efficient. I do not know how to attach an image to a review but my grandma insisted on taking a photo with Josh because of how great he was!

    The team was amazing. They disassembled and reassembled beds and sofas in a very quick manner. Protected everything with moving blankets. Moved heavy machinery on and off the truck with ease. Overall, they were efficient and pleasant. I would highly recommend them to anyone for their move.
