Mount Dennis is an apartment neighbourhood that is only half a tower neighbourhood. Close to half its homes are in buildings of five storeys or more and a further fifth are apartments in low-rise blocks, with detached houses filling in behind. The door a crew arrives at is usually a building entrance, but whether there is a service lift behind it is a genuine question rather than an assumption. Owning and renting are close to level here, which means the calendar is pulled by closings and lease ends in roughly equal measure rather than bunching on one of them.
Most of the housing dates from the same two decades. The figures below are drawn from the ring of southwest Toronto communities Mount Dennis sits inside, where the completed work is.
Moving costs around Mount Dennis, by the numbers
Mount Dennis borrows. Its own closed jobs are too few for a published figure, so the band above reports 143 residential moves across the 50 southwest Toronto communities that surround it: a $733 median with tax, a middle half of $541 to $1,223, a 3.25 hour middle day and a middle half of 3 to 5.5 hours, with 77% of the work graded small. Fort York-Liberty Village is the heaviest single source at 10 moves, and five more communities sit at 8 or 9 apiece. Nearly half of Mount Dennis homes are in a building of five storeys or more, so the apartment weighting of that pool suits it.

How much does a move in Mount Dennis cost?
$733 with tax at the middle of 143 residential moves in the southwest Toronto communities around Mount Dennis, with half of them between $541 and $1,223. The rate is hourly and follows the crew and the truck the job needs, and travel inside the city is not charged. None of it is a quote for a particular address.
-
What does a Mount Dennis move usually involve?
A building entrance. 47% of homes here are in a building of five storeys or more and another 21% are low-rise apartments, so most jobs start at a shared door rather than at a driveway. Only 19% are detached houses. Where there is a service elevator the booking sets the shape of the day, and where there is not, the stairs do.
-
How long does a move in Mount Dennis take?
3.25 hours on site is the middle of the 143 pooled jobs, with half of them between 3 and 5.5 hours and 77% graded small. Households here hold 2.6 people, and 52% of homes are rented, which usually means a lease end sets the date and a building has to agree to it. That agreement is what most often moves the hours.
-
Which neighbourhoods are the Mount Dennis figures based on?
Fifty southwest Toronto communities that touch one another, Mount Dennis included, with 143 completed residential moves between them. Fort York-Liberty Village leads at 10 moves, with Annex and High Park North at 9 each and Alderwood, Etobicoke City Centre and Junction Area at 8. A figure for this boundary alone would rest on a handful of jobs.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Mount Dennis?
Where the building has a loading area, that usually covers it. Elsewhere, Toronto publishes no page about a moving truck standing at a residential curb, and its street occupation permit is written for containers, so 311 is the number for your own block. Call a few days ahead rather than on the day.

Mount Dennis neighbourhood guide for moving day
Nearly seven in ten homes here are apartments of one kind or another, and the useful split is not tower against house but lift against stairs. Where there is a service elevator, it and the loading area are arranged through the building and should be sorted as soon as the date exists. Where the block is low-rise there may be no lift to reserve, and the staircase becomes the whole job. That is worth saying out loud when you book, because it is the single thing that most changes how long a day runs. Kerbside standing is unresolved in Toronto: nothing published covers a moving truck outside a residence, so ring 311 about your street.

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.
