Mount Pleasant East splits its housing between two things that want opposite preparation. A little under a third of its homes are in buildings of five storeys or more, and almost exactly the same share are single-detached houses, with semis taking most of the rest. There is no default moving day here. One job needs a service lift reserved and a loading bay window; the next needs somewhere legal for the truck to stand and a plan for a staircase in a home built in 1960 or before.
Ownership is the slight majority and a third of households are one person, so neither the calendar nor the load has one shape here. The figures below are borrowed from the ring of southeast Toronto communities Mount Pleasant East sits inside.
Moving costs around Mount Pleasant East, by the numbers

How much does a move in Mount Pleasant East cost?
$705 is the middle of 142 residential moves across the southeast Toronto communities around Mount Pleasant East, tax included, with half of them between $544 and $1,161. The rate is hourly, set by the crew and truck the job needs and written into the agreement before the day. What varies is hours, and hours vary with the home.
-
House or apartment: which is a Mount Pleasant East move?
Evenly divided. 30% of homes here are in a building of five storeys or more, 30% are single-detached and 22% are semi-detached. Most of the housing was standing in 1960 or before, so on the house side the staircase is old and narrow, and on the apartment side the lift and the loading door are booked with the building.
-
How long does a move in Mount Pleasant East take?
3.25 hours on site at the middle of the 142 pooled jobs, with half of them between 3 and 5.19 hours. 81% of that work graded small and only 4% large. Households here hold 2.3 people and more than a third are one person, so compact loads are the norm and the access is what adds the hours.
-
Which neighbourhoods are the Mount Pleasant East figures from?
Thirty-six southeast Toronto communities that border one another, this one included, and their 142 completed residential moves. Wellington Place supplies 21, Downtown Yonge East 15 and Harbourfront-CityPlace 11. Pooling that far is what makes the median steady, because on its own this boundary has too few closed jobs to publish.
-
Is there a busier month to move in Mount Pleasant East?
August at 18 completed moves across the surrounding communities, June at 17 and March at 16. The hourly rate is the same in all three, so those counts describe when people move. With 55% of homes here owned, a good share of the dates come out of closings rather than lease ends.

Mount Pleasant East neighbourhood guide for moving day
This list asks for two different plans, in roughly equal measure. For the homes in buildings of five storeys or more, the elevator and the loading area are booked through the building and should be sorted the week the date is fixed. For the detached and semi-detached houses, most of them standing since 1960 or before, the work is stairs and doorways, and then the question of where the truck may legally stand. The City’s published guidance on that stops at moving containers, so 311 is who to ask 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 had an office move—20 desks, equipment, and boxes. Nikita and Alex disassembled everything, labeled it, and set it up according to the floor plan. The office manager kept everything under control. Respect!

I’m very satisfied with Cactus Moving. Nikita and Alex handled the move like clockwork. Nothing was scratched, furniture was wrapped in plastic, and carpets were rolled up neatly. You can tell they know what they’re doing. I’ll definitely use them again!

I was impressed by the level of service! Nikita and Alex didn’t just move everything—they also helped arrange the furniture at the new place. No rushing, just attention to detail.
