Movers in Maple Leaf: what we know about moving here

Maple Leaf is a small neighbourhood and a house-led one: detached homes take the largest single share of a stock that runs to only a few thousand addresses in all. That shapes the work: a driveway, a front path, interior stairs, and usually a basement or a garage nobody has fully looked at until the week before. There is an apartment side too, roughly a quarter of homes in a building of five storeys or more with a smaller low-rise share behind it, and tenure divides close to evenly, so lease dates and closings both turn up on the calendar here.

The figures below come from the wider group of northwest communities Maple Leaf belongs to, the nearest data we hold on what a move here involves.

Moving costs around Maple Leaf, by the numbers

Maple Leaf is small, and its own closed jobs are too few to publish, so the band above belongs to 29 northwest Toronto communities and the 83 residential moves between them. York University Heights supplies 13, Yorkdale-Glen Park 10 and Willowdale West 8, with Yonge-Doris, Bedford Park-Nortown and Lansing-Westgate behind them. The middle bill was $800 with tax and the middle day 3.5 hours on site, half the bills between $535 and $1,239 and half the days between 3 and 5.63 hours. 33% of that work graded medium and 6% large.

How much does a move in Maple Leaf cost?

$800 is the pooled median with tax across 83 residential moves in the northwest Toronto communities around Maple Leaf, with half of them between $535 and $1,239. A third of the work in that pool graded medium and 6% large, which is what lifts the middle. The rate is hourly all the same, so bigger homes cost more hours rather than a different rate.

  • Is a Maple Leaf move usually a house?

    Often. 45% of homes here are single-detached, with 24% in a building of five storeys or more and 17% in low-rise apartments. So a moving day here divides in two: a driveway and a front staircase, or an elevator and a loading door booked with the building. Say which when you call and the crew can size the truck properly.

  • How long does a move in Maple Leaf take?

    3.5 hours on site at the middle of the 83 pooled jobs, with half of them between 3 and 5.63 hours. Households here hold 2.7 people, and where the address is a detached house the basement and the garage tend to decide the day. Travel time inside the city is not billed, so the clock is the work itself.

  • Which neighbourhoods are the Maple Leaf figures based on?

    Twenty-nine northwest Toronto communities that adjoin one another, this one among them, and their 83 completed residential moves. York University Heights carries 13, Yorkdale-Glen Park 10, Willowdale West 8 and Yonge-Doris 7. A neighbourhood this size cannot publish a median on its own without resting it on a handful of jobs.

  • Is there a busier time of year in Maple Leaf?

    February and July each carried 10 completed moves across the surrounding communities, and June 9. None of the three is priced differently, because the rate is hourly in every month of the year. Just over half of homes here are owned, so closings set a slight majority of the dates.

Maple Leaf neighbourhood guide for moving day

Owner-occupied houses move differently from rented apartments, and Maple Leaf holds a lot of both. The house side turns on volume: detached homes take the largest share of the stock here, and a basement or a garage that has not been sorted is what turns a half-day into a full one. The apartment side turns on the building instead, where the lift window and the loading bay are booked with management rather than with us. Parking is the loose end in this city, since nothing published covers a truck outside a house. A call to 311 will confirm what your address 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 had to move my elderly parents to a retirement facility and took a chance on Cactus Moving after a google search- and they did not disappoint! Niko and Josh were very personable and took extra care moving my parent’s belongings. I would definitely recommend this company for your move.

    Cactus movers did an excellent and efficient job with our move. Hodi was very sure to be mindful of my requests since we have a newborn and wanted everything to go smoothly. Niko and Alex were very considerate and worked swiftly to ensure we had a stress-free move.

    We used them before the new year, Niko and his colleague arrived earlier than scheduled. They did an amazing job, very easy to work with, professional and thorough. Will always recommend them. Also, thanks for the moving gift.
