Movers in O`Connor Parkview: what we know about moving here

O`Connor Parkview is a neighbourhood of small households in mixed housing, and those two facts between them decide most of what a moving day here looks like. Detached houses are the most common single type, but a third of the homes sit in buildings of five storeys or more, so a job here is about as likely to begin at a shared entrance as at a front path. Renters slightly outnumber owners, which puts a good share of the dates on a lease rather than a closing. And with households this small, the load is rarely the hard part of the day. Access usually is, and it is the part worth settling first.

The figures below come from the ring of northeast Toronto communities this one sits inside, which is the closest measure we hold of what a move in this part of the city takes.

Moving costs around O`Connor Parkview, by the numbers

O`Connor Parkview does not carry enough closed jobs for a published figure, so the band pools 46 northeast Toronto communities and the 90 residential moves between them. Banbury-Don Mills supplies 18, Thorncliffe Park 11 and Bayview Village 10, with Don Valley Village, North Toronto and Henry Farm behind them. The middle bill was $634 with tax and the middle day 3 hours on site, half the bills between $488 and $1,194 and half the days between 3 and 5.25 hours. 78% graded small and 21% medium.

How much does a move in O`Connor Parkview cost?

$634 is the pooled median with tax across 90 residential moves in the northeast Toronto communities around O`Connor Parkview, with half of them between $488 and $1,194. The rate is hourly. The distance between those two figures is mostly the difference between a detached house and a one-bedroom in a tower.

  • What kind of home does a move in O`Connor Parkview start from?

    Most often a detached house: 41% of homes here, with 32% in a building of five storeys or more and 20% in low-rise apartments. Those are three different mornings. A house starts at a driveway, a tower at a booked lift, and a low-rise at a staircase where a lift may not exist at all.

  • How long does a move in O`Connor Parkview take?

    3 hours on site at the middle of the 90 pooled jobs, with half of them between 3 and 5.25 hours and 78% graded small. Households here hold 2.5 people and 54% of homes are rented, so lease ends set the majority of dates. What decides the hours is the route out of the building rather than the volume.

  • Which neighbourhoods are the O`Connor Parkview figures from?

    Forty-six northeast Toronto communities that touch one another, this one included, and their 90 completed residential moves. Banbury-Don Mills contributes 18, Thorncliffe Park 11 and Bayview Village 10, with Don Valley Village, North Toronto and Henry Farm smaller. A median built on this boundary alone would rest on a handful of jobs.

  • Do you charge for travel time to O`Connor Parkview?

    No. Travel inside city limits is not billed, so the invoice covers hours worked at the two addresses and nothing else. There is no deposit on a local move and no fuel surcharge. Packing and bin rental are available here and are quoted separately.

O`Connor Parkview neighbourhood guide for moving day

Two things on this list change the day itself. The first is height: a third of the homes here are in a building of five storeys or more, and those moves depend on the elevator and the loading area being held by building management before the date, which is the part of a Toronto move most worth arranging early. The second is the curb. The City publishes no page that settles whether a moving truck outside your door needs a permit, so a call to 311 about your own street beats an assumption in either direction.

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.

    Niko and both of his colleagues were great. On time, fast and easy to communicate with. Amazing timing because of my moves.

    Josh and Alex were so incredibly helpful when I had to move twice in a month due to unforeseen circumstances!! So friendly and efficient. I do not know how to attach an image to a review but my grandma insisted on taking a photo with Josh because of how great he was!

    The team was amazing. They disassembled and reassembled beds and sofas in a very quick manner. Protected everything with moving blankets. Moved heavy machinery on and off the truck with ease. Overall, they were efficient and pleasant. I would highly recommend them to anyone for their move.

    I’m happy to say that I had an absolutely amazing move with Cactus Moving! I’ve unfortunately had to move roughly 10 times in 10 years, and this was the quickest and smoothest move to-date! Every one of my other moves took way longer (3-6+ hours longer, with other moving companies!
