The defining combination in Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown is a large household living behind an apartment door. Most homes here are in buildings of five storeys or more, and the households inside them are big. Only about one home in six holds a single person. A move is therefore high volume on a narrow route: everything goes through one unit door, one corridor and one service lift, and the walk from the lift to wherever the truck can stand is longer than any staircase in a house.
Renting is the slight majority, so lease dates carry a little more of the calendar than closings do, and most of the stock dates from the same two decades. The move figures below come from the ring of northwest Toronto communities this neighbourhood sits inside.
Moving costs around Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown, by the numbers

How much does a move in Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown cost?
$755 is the pooled median with tax across 86 residential moves in the northwest Toronto communities around it, with half of them between $530 and $1,240. The rate is hourly. Households here hold 3.2 people, so a local job is often a family-sized load coming out of an apartment, which takes more hours than the building type alone suggests.
-
Why are so many of the nearby moves graded medium or large?
36% medium and 6% large against 58% small is a heavier mix than the apartment share here would suggest, and the household size explains it. 62% of homes are in a building of five storeys or more, but 3.2 people live in the middle one. Big loads through a lobby and a lift is what most of this work is.
-
How long does a move in Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown take?
The pooled middle is 3.5 hours on site with half of the 86 jobs between 3 and 5.44 hours. In practice the elevator does most of the deciding: a lift held for the whole booked window keeps a big load moving, and a lift shared with the rest of the building does not. Confirm that booking as soon as the date is fixed.
-
Which neighbourhoods sit behind the Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown figures?
Twenty-nine northwest Toronto communities that adjoin one another, this one among them, with 86 completed residential moves between them. York University Heights contributes 13, Yorkdale-Glen Park 10, Willowdale West 8 and Yonge-Doris 7. This boundary on its own has too few closed jobs to carry a published median.
-
Is one month cheaper than another in Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown?
No. July carried 11 completed moves across the surrounding communities, February 10 and August 8, and the hourly rate was the same in each. What a busier month changes is which dates the buildings still have free. 54% of homes here are rented, so lease ends drive most of that pattern.

Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown neighbourhood guide for moving day
Two things on this panel point the same way: most homes are in buildings of five storeys or more, and the households in them are large. That combination, a great deal of belongings behind one apartment door, makes the elevator booking the most valuable half hour of preparation anyone here can spend. Ask the building for a service lift window and for somewhere legal to stand the truck, and ask early. Beyond the property line, Toronto publishes no rule about a moving truck at the curb, so 311 is the number for questions about your own 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.

We moved a tech warehouse and Nikita and Alex were great. Very strong, efficient, and careful with everything. They handled all the heavy lifting without rushing and made sure everything was secure. 10/10 would recommend.

The guys arrived 30 minutes early but patiently waited while I finished packing. No pressure, just understanding. Very respectful attitude. Thank you, Nikita and Alex!

This company is fantastic! They handled our family's move from Calgary to Toronto seamlessly, taking care of everything. I was genuinely surprised—they even ordered coffee for us during the move! Can you believe that? After delivering all my furniture without any damage, they gave me a welcome gift.
5 out of 5
I moved with my family from Toronto to another part of Ontario. We had a ton of stuff—kids’ furniture, washer, boxes full of dishes, books, and electronics. I was really nervous, especially since our stairs are narrow and the parking setup is tricky. Nikita and Alex arrived right on time.
5 out of 5
Very satisfied with the move! Nikita and Alex arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently. I especially appreciated the office clearly explaining the price and timeline—no surprises. Thank you!
