Movers in North St. James Town: what we know about moving here

Nearly every home in North St. James Town is in a building of five storeys or more, and the great majority of them are rented. There is effectively no other kind of move here. A job starts at a lobby, runs through an elevator that has to be reserved with the building, and finishes at a loading door. Because tenancies turn over on lease dates, the calendar is set by the end of a month rather than by a closing.

The households are small to match, and close to half of them are a single person. The work recorded inside the boundary looks exactly like that: at least 6 residential moves, a median crew of 2 movers and a median day of 3 hours on site, with the middle half running 3 to 3.75 hours. One bedroom, one lift, two movers, a morning. The cards further down price a move by the size of the home, using the completed jobs in the southeast Toronto communities around this one.

North St. James Town neighbourhood guide for moving day

Everything on this panel points the same way. With nearly all homes in a building of five storeys or more, the elevator and the loading bay are the schedule. They are arranged with the building rather than with us, and worth locking in as soon as the date is. Renting is the tenure of almost everyone in North St. James Town, so the dates come from leases rather than closings. Street parking is the open question: the City has no page covering a truck stopped at a residential entrance, so 311 can confirm whether your address needs a permit.

North St. James Town moving costs, by the numbers

Only household jobs are counted here, and only those whose origin or destination address landed inside North St. James Town’s own boundary. The all-time figure is a floor rather than a total. Six moves will carry an hours median and a crew median but not a price median, which is why this band shows a day and a crew size while the cost figures on this page come from the communities around it. The crew number is the steady one: 2 movers in the middle, and 2 across the middle half as well.

What a move this size costs in Southeast Toronto

Sizes of move cut out of the completed residential jobs in Southeast Toronto, the communities beside this one. North St. James Town has fewer than five of its own at each size, and a band resting on fewer than five moves is not published here at any scope.

  • 2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

North St. James Town has fewer than five one-bedroom moves of its own, so this card comes from the 54 completed at that size across southeast Toronto. Two movers, one truck, a $749 median with half of them between $585 and $991, and 3.5 hours on site at the middle with half running between 3 and 5.19. With 93% of homes here in a building of five storeys or more, a one-bedroom move is nearly always a lift, a corridor and a loading door rather than a staircase.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Toronto, across 54 moves.

half fell between $642 and $1,271 · 16 moves

  • 5.5 hours on site half ran 4.06–6.94 hours
  • 2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Two bedrooms across southeast Toronto runs 5.5 hours on site at the middle of 16 jobs, with half between 4.06 and 6.94, on the same two movers and one truck. At the middle they cost $1,088, with half of the 16 between $642 and $1,271. This neighbourhood holds fewer than five of its own that size. A second bedroom in a tower adds trips through the same lift rather than a second vehicle, which is why the hours move and the crew does not.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Toronto, across 16 moves.

How much does a move in North St. James Town cost?

No local price is published here, because too few of the jobs inside the boundary carried one. The nearest figure is the surrounding southeast Toronto communities: a $719 median with tax across 129 residential moves, with half of them between $567 and $1,098. The rate is hourly and set out in the agreement before the day.

  • How long does a move in North St. James Town take?

    3 hours on site at the middle of the 6 jobs recorded inside the boundary, with half of them between 3 and 3.75 hours. That is narrower than the surrounding communities show, where the middle is 3.25 and half run between 3 and 5. Six jobs is a small sample, so read the narrowness as a coincidence rather than as a promise.

  • What has to be booked with the building in North St. James Town?

    The service elevator and the loading door, and they are the whole logistics of the day. 93% of homes here are in a building of five storeys or more and 89% are rented, so almost every move is a lease end that the building's own calendar has to accept. Ask about notice at the same time you give notice.

  • What does a one-bedroom move around North St. James Town cost?

    $749 at the median across 54 one-bedroom jobs in the surrounding southeast Toronto communities, with half between $585 and $991 and 3.5 hours on site at the middle, on two movers and one truck. Almost half the households here are one person, so it is the likeliest size, but the figure comes from the neighbourhoods around this one.

  • Is one time of year cheaper in North St. James Town?

    No. August carried 17 completed moves across the surrounding communities, with June and March at 16 each, and the hourly rate is identical in all three. With 89% of homes rented, the dates here cluster around lease ends rather than around the season.

    I would like to sincerely thank the Cactus Moving team for assisting with my move. Over the years, I had accumulated many belongings, each carrying precious memories. My greatest concern was my library—books have been my lifelong companions, and each one holds a special place in my heart.

    I was kinda dreading this move 'cause, let’s be real, most moving companies are either slow, careless, or both. But Cactus Moving—man, Alexei and Nikita totally changed my mind about movers.

    Stress - Free Move – Thanks to Cactus Moving! When I was planning my move, I was worried that something would go wrong – heavy furniture, narrow doorways, fragile items… But with Cactus Moving, everything went perfectly!

    Thank you, CactusMoving, Alex and Nikita, for a job well done! Most importantly, everything was done safely and fairly quickly, despite my mess. I can also point out that the movers were very friendly and polite. They helped me with a few extra tasks and were extremely professional.

Nearby and similar neighbourhoods in Toronto

Six residential jobs have been attributed to North St. James Town since 2025, enough to publish hours and a crew size and nothing else. The band beside them is the pooled one: 32 southeast Toronto communities, 129 moves, a $719 median with tax, a middle half of $567 to $1,098, and 3.25 hours on site at the middle. Wellington Place accounts for 21 of those moves, Downtown Yonge East 15 and Harbourfront-CityPlace 11. The local median of 3 hours, with half of the six between 3 and 3.75, is a narrow band built on a very small sample.

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.
