Movers in Keelesdale-Eglinton West: what we know about moving here

Keelesdale-Eglinton West does not settle on one kind of housing. Detached houses come first, low-rise apartments next, and taller buildings a smaller slice again: three different moving days inside one boundary, and the address decides which one you get. The share worth pinning down when you book is the low-rise one: whether that building has a lift changes the hours more than the size of the load does.

Ownership is the majority position here, households run to a little over two and a half people, and close to three in ten homes hold a single person, so the work spans a solo apartment load and a family house within the same few streets. The middle home dates from between 1961 and 1980. The move figures below come from the southwest Toronto communities surrounding this one.

Moving costs around Keelesdale-Eglinton West, by the numbers

The price and hours on this page are pooled rather than local: 50 southwest Toronto communities that touch one another, 143 residential moves between them, and Keelesdale-Eglinton West too small a sample on its own to publish. Fort York-Liberty Village contributes 10, Annex and High Park North 9 apiece, and Alderwood, Etobicoke City Centre and Junction Area 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 around a 3.25 hour median. 77% were graded small and 20% medium.

What does a move in Keelesdale-Eglinton West cost?

$733 at the median across 143 residential moves in the surrounding southwest Toronto communities, total cost with tax, with half of them between $541 and $1,223. None of it is a quote for your home. A local move is billed hourly, the rate depends on crew size and truck size, and the agreement carries it before the crew arrives.

  • Is a move here usually a house or an apartment?

    A house, more often than not. 39% of homes in Keelesdale-Eglinton West are detached, 25% are low-rise apartments and 15% sit in a building of five storeys or more. The detached share is what makes a walkthrough worth doing, because a house has a basement, a garage or both, and those are where the hours hide.

  • How long does a move in Keelesdale-Eglinton West 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% graded small. Households here run to 2.6 people and 59% of homes are owned, so more of the local work is a full house than that small share suggests. Time on the road inside the city is not billed.

  • Which neighbourhoods are behind the Keelesdale-Eglinton West figures?

    The 50 southwest Toronto communities that border one another here, this one included, and their 143 completed residential moves. Fort York-Liberty Village provides 10, Annex and High Park North 9 each, and Alderwood, Etobicoke City Centre and Junction Area 8 apiece. A median built on one neighbourhood and a handful of jobs would say less than this does.

  • Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Keelesdale-Eglinton West?

    On the detached blocks a driveway usually solves it. Where it does not, Toronto publishes nothing covering a moving truck standing at a residential curb, and its street occupation permit is written for containers, so 311 is the number to call with the address. Do that in the week before, not on the morning.

Call Toronto or get a quote online. Either works.

Keelesdale-Eglinton West neighbourhood guide for moving day

Close to two homes in five here are detached, which is the straightforward case: a driveway, a staircase, and the hours going into the walk from the door to the truck. The complicated share is the low-rise apartments, where a lift cannot be taken for granted and the answer is worth getting from the building rather than assuming. Ownership runs to close to three in five homes, so most dates follow a closing and are known well in advance, which is notice enough to ask. As for the truck, Toronto publishes no permit covering a moving vehicle at the curb, so 311 settles what your own street needs.

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 want to give a big shout-out to Cactus Moving and the amazing team of Aleksei and Valentin who helped me with my recent move. From the moment they arrived, they were polite and professional - they even asked if it was okay to keep their shoes on before entering.
