Malvern East divides its homes almost in thirds: apartments in buildings of five storeys or more, detached houses and row houses each take about a quarter of the stock. No single shape of moving day is typical here. What is typical is the size of the household. This is a neighbourhood of full homes with comparatively few people living alone, which means more furniture and more boxes than the address type on its own would suggest, whichever of the three doors the crew arrives at.
The figures below describe the northeast Toronto communities Malvern East sits within, which are the closest measure we hold of what a move around here takes.
Moving costs around Malvern East, by the numbers
Malvern East cannot publish a price of its own, so the band pools every community next to it: 43 northeast Toronto neighbourhoods and 88 residential moves. Banbury-Don Mills is the biggest single source at 18, with Thorncliffe Park at 11 and Bayview Village at 10. Across the 88 the middle bill was $662 with tax and the middle day 3 hours on site, half the bills between $488 and $1,250 and half the days between 3 and 5.25 hours. 77% graded small and 22% medium. Households here hold 3.1 people, which is a bigger load than that small share implies.

What does a move in Malvern East cost?
$662 is the middle bill across the 88 residential moves recorded in the northeast Toronto communities around Malvern East, tax included, and half of them fell between $488 and $1,250. The rate is hourly. With households here running to 3.1 people, a local job is usually more hours than that middle covers.
-
Is a Malvern East move a house or an apartment?
It could be either, and there is a third option. 28% of homes here are in a building of five storeys or more, 26% are detached houses and 25% are row houses. The row houses are the ones worth flagging when you book, because the stairs are narrow and the frontage is shared with the neighbours on both sides.
-
How long does a move in Malvern East take?
The middle job in the pooled set ran 3 hours on site, with half of them between 3 and 5.25 hours. Those figures come from a pool with a lot of apartment work in it. A household of 3.1 people in a house or a row house is a fuller load, and the basement and the garage are where the extra hours usually come from.
-
Which neighbourhoods are the Malvern East figures based on?
The 43 northeast Toronto communities that touch one another here, this one included, and the 88 completed residential moves between them. Banbury-Don Mills carries 18, Thorncliffe Park 11 and Bayview Village 10, with Don Valley Village, North Toronto and Henry Farm smaller. Publishing a Malvern East median alone would mean quoting a handful of jobs.
-
Does moving in August cost more in Malvern East?
No. August carried 18 completed moves across the surrounding communities, June 11 and February 9, but the hourly rate is the same in each. A busy month affects which dates are still open rather than what any of them costs. 70% of homes here are owned, so a closing sets most of them.

Malvern East neighbourhood guide for moving day
Row houses are the entry to watch on this list. At about a quarter of the stock they are the shape that most often costs time: they share a frontage, so there is less curb per door than a detached street offers, and everything is carried rather than wheeled. The tower share needs a lift window and a loading door reserved instead, and the detached share needs somewhere for the truck to stand. Household size is the constant across all three, and it is large here. The City has never published what a moving truck at the curb requires, which leaves 311 as the way to find out for your address.

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.

Niko and both of his colleagues were great. On time, fast and easy to communicate with. Amazing timing because of my moves.

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.

Such a great experience! 💚 Moving is never fun but Niko & Josh made it a breeze! From the moment I contacted Cactus, there was great and clear communication. The guys were professional and friendly, took good care of my things and got the job done quickly.

I’m happy to say that I had an absolutely amazing move with Cactus Moving! I’ve unfortunately had to move roughly 10 times in 10 years, and this was the quickest and smoothest move to-date! Every one of my other moves took way longer (3-6+ hours longer, with other moving companies!
