New Toronto is a low-rise neighbourhood of small households. More of its homes are apartments in low-rise buildings than anything else, detached houses come next, and only about a fifth sit in a building of five storeys or more. The crew is more often at a front door and a staircase than at a lobby with a service lift. Close to two in five households are one person, and the majority rent, which means modest loads on dates that follow the end of a lease more often than a closing.
That makes the stairs, not the elevator, the variable worth flagging when you book. The figures below come from the group of southwest Toronto communities New Toronto belongs to, which is where our record of completed work on this side of the city sits.
Moving costs around New Toronto, by the numbers
New Toronto sits inside a pool of 50 southwest Toronto communities carrying 140 residential moves, and that pool is where every figure above comes from, because the neighbourhood's own record is too short to publish. Fort York-Liberty Village holds 10 of those moves, Annex and High Park North 9 each, and three more communities 8 apiece. The middle bill was $738 with tax on a middle half of $541 to $1,230, and the middle day 3.38 hours on a middle half of 3 to 5.56. 76% graded small and 21% medium.

How much does a move in New Toronto cost?
$738 with tax at the middle of 140 residential moves in the southwest Toronto communities around New Toronto, with half of them between $541 and $1,230. Cactus bills a local move by the hour, at a rate that follows the crew size and truck size the job needs, and travel inside the city is not charged on top.
-
What kind of home is a New Toronto move usually from?
A low-rise apartment more often than not: 36% of homes here, with 30% detached houses and 22% in a building of five storeys or more. The low-rise share is the awkward one, because a lift is not a given and there is usually no loading door, so the truck ends up on the street. Confirm both when you book.
-
How long does a move in New Toronto take?
3.38 hours at the middle of the 140 pooled jobs, with half of them between 3 and 5.56 hours and 76% graded small. Households here run to 2.2 people and 39% are one person, so the loads tend to be light. In this housing the length of a day comes out of the carry rather than the contents.
-
Which neighbourhoods sit behind the New Toronto figures?
Fifty southwest Toronto communities that adjoin one another, New Toronto included, and their 140 completed residential moves. Fort York-Liberty Village, Annex and High Park North lead that list, with Alderwood, Etobicoke City Centre and Junction Area adding 8 moves apiece. This boundary alone does not clear the floor for a published figure.
-
Is one time of year cheaper in New Toronto?
No. June carried 20 completed moves across the surrounding communities, March 19 and August 16, and none of those months is priced differently, because the rate is hourly all year. 56% of homes here are rented, so lease ends are what mostly shape that calendar.

Two things on this panel are worth acting on. Most homes in New Toronto are low-rise apartments or houses rather than towers, so a move usually starts at a front door and a staircase rather than a service entrance. Tell us the floor and whether there is a lift, because that swings the hours on site more than anything else does. And nothing the City has issued covers a moving truck stopped outside a residence, so 311 is where you find out what your own street requires.

Figures come from Cactusβs 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.
