Leaside-Bennington is a house neighbourhood in a part of the city that mostly is not. Detached homes take more than half the stock, semis and low-rise apartments most of the rest, and only a small fraction sits in a building of five storeys or more. Ownership is high and most of the housing was standing in 1960 or before. What that adds up to on the day is stairs, a front path, and a truck that has to find room on a residential street rather than pull into a loading area.
The figures below are drawn from the ring of southeast Toronto communities this one sits inside, which is the closest read we hold on what a move around here actually takes.
Moving costs around Leaside-Bennington, by the numbers
The figures above cover 36 southeast Toronto communities and 158 residential moves between them, because Leaside-Bennington on its own does not clear the floor at which a figure gets published. Wellington Place carries 21 of those, Banbury-Don Mills 18 and Downtown Yonge East 15, with Harbourfront-CityPlace and Thorncliffe Park at 11 each. The pooled middle bill was $704 with tax and the middle day 3 hours on site, half the bills between $532 and $1,073 and half the days between 3 and 5 hours. 80% graded small. Much of that pool is apartment work, and this neighbourhood is not: 56% of its homes are detached.

How much does a move in Leaside-Bennington cost?
The pooled median is $704 with tax across 158 residential moves in the southeast Toronto communities around Leaside-Bennington, with half of them between $532 and $1,073. That pool is weighted toward apartments, while 56% of homes here are detached. Since the rate is hourly, a whole house is more hours and so more money at the same rate.
-
What should I expect on the day in Leaside-Bennington?
A house move, most likely: 56% of homes are single-detached, 22% are low-rise apartments and only 8% sit in a building of five storeys or more. So there is rarely a lift to reserve. There is usually a driveway, a front staircase and a basement, and the basement is where a day gets away from people.
-
How long does a move in Leaside-Bennington take?
3 hours on site is the middle of the 158 pooled jobs, with half of them between 3 and 5 hours and 80% graded small. Those are apartment-heavy figures. A detached house with 2.6 people in it is a longer job than that, and the honest way to size yours is a walk-through rather than a median.
-
Which neighbourhoods sit behind the Leaside-Bennington figures?
Thirty-six southeast Toronto communities that border one another, with 158 completed residential moves between them. Wellington Place contributes 21, Banbury-Don Mills 18 and Downtown Yonge East 15, with Harbourfront-CityPlace, Thorncliffe Park and South Eglinton-Davisville behind them. A median for this boundary alone would rest on too few jobs to publish.
-
Do I need a permit for the truck in Leaside-Bennington?
Where there is a driveway, usually not. Toronto publishes no rule covering a moving truck standing at a residential curb and its street occupation permit is written for containers, so 311 is what settles your block. With 72% of homes here owned, the date usually follows a closing and there is time to ask.

Leaside-Bennington neighbourhood guide for moving day
Almost nothing on this list points at a lobby. With only a small share of homes in a building of five storeys or more, the elevator that dominates so many Toronto moves is beside the point here; what replaces it is the staircase, the front path and where the truck can stand. High ownership means most dates follow a closing rather than a lease end, which usually buys more notice. That is useful, because Toronto publishes no rule on a moving truck at a residential curb, its street occupation permit being written for containers. Put that question to 311 with your own address before the date.

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.
