Oakridge is a renting neighbourhood in tall buildings. Most of its homes are in a building of five storeys or more and most of its households rent rather than own, and those two facts set the terms of a move here: the job begins at a building entrance, the lift and the loading door belong to the property rather than to the crew, and the date comes from a lease far more often than from a closing. Detached houses and duplex apartments exist here too, but a house move is not the default.
Households are modest and a third of them are one person, so the loads are the compact kind rather than the whole-house kind. The move figures below come from the wider group of southeast Toronto communities Oakridge belongs to.
Moving costs around Oakridge, by the numbers
Oakridge's own record is too short to publish, so the band above draws on 33 southeast Toronto communities and the 133 residential moves between them. Wellington Place holds 21 of those, Downtown Yonge East 15 and Harbourfront-CityPlace 11, with South Eglinton-Davisville, St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands and The Beaches at 9 apiece. The pooled middle was $719 with tax over 3.25 hours on site, half the bills between $567 and $1,138 and half the days between 3 and 5 hours. 82% graded small, which fits a neighbourhood where 60% of homes are in a building of five storeys or more.

How much does a move in Oakridge cost?
$719 is the pooled median with tax across 133 residential moves in the southeast Toronto communities around Oakridge, with half of them between $567 and $1,138. Cactus bills a local move by the hour, and the rate follows the number of movers and the truck the job needs. Travel inside the city adds nothing to it.
-
What does a typical Oakridge move look like?
An apartment job with a family-sized load. 60% of homes here are in a building of five storeys or more, but households hold 2.6 people, so the contents are usually more than a studio's. The elevator booking is the thing that decides the day, and the building rather than the crew controls it.
-
How long does a move in Oakridge take?
3.25 hours on site at the middle of the 133 pooled jobs, with half of them between 3 and 5 hours and 82% graded small. 69% of homes here are rented, so most dates come out of lease ends. Book the lift as soon as you give notice, because the building sets that window and the crew does not.
-
Which neighbourhoods sit behind the Oakridge figures?
Thirty-three southeast Toronto communities that border one another, Oakridge included, with 133 completed residential moves between them. Wellington Place supplies 21 of those, Downtown Yonge East 15 and Harbourfront-CityPlace 11. Publishing an Oakridge median alone would rest on too few jobs to be worth quoting.
-
Is there a busier month for moving in Oakridge?
August at 17 completed moves across the surrounding communities, then June and March at 16 each. The hourly rate does not change between them, so those counts describe when the work happens. With 69% of homes rented here, that calendar is really the lease calendar.

Oakridge neighbourhood guide for moving day
Where most of the homes are in tall buildings, the most useful thing you can do before the date is talk to the property: which entrance the crew may use, whether the service lift has to be reserved, and what hours it can be held. None of that is inside a mover’s control on the morning. Outside the building, the City has published no rule covering a moving truck at the curb, because its Street Occupation Permit is written for containers. The dependable answer for a given address in Oakridge is 311.

Toronto publishes no page that covers a moving truck at the curb, and its Street Occupation Permit names moving containers only. Confirm with 311 whether your street needs a permit.

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.
