Parkwoods-O’Connor Hills does not resolve into one kind of housing. Detached houses are the most common single type, but a third of the homes are in buildings of five storeys or more and row housing takes much of the remainder. Two jobs booked here in the same week can look nothing like each other. One is a driveway, a staircase and a garage nobody has fully emptied. The other is a lobby, a service elevator and a loading area to reserve. Tenure divides about as evenly, which means closings and lease endings both shape the calendar, and the households are on the larger side, so the loads behind the doors tend to be fuller than the size of the homes alone would suggest.
What follows comes from the wider set of northeast Toronto communities this one belongs to.

How much does a move in Parkwoods-O’Connor Hills cost?
$675 with tax at the middle of 89 residential moves in the northeast Toronto communities around Parkwoods-O’Connor Hills, and half of them landed between $488 and $1,247. A local move is billed by the hour and the rate follows the crew and truck it takes. Households here hold 2.8 people, which is a fuller load than the pooled small share suggests.
-
What kind of home does a move in Parkwoods-O’Connor Hills start from?
Three roughly equal answers: 39% single-detached houses, 33% in a building of five storeys or more and 17% row houses. In the towers the lift and the loading door decide the day. In the row houses the staircase and the shared frontage do. In a detached house it is the driveway and the basement.
-
How long does a move in Parkwoods-O’Connor Hills take?
3 hours at the middle of the 89 pooled jobs, with half of them between 3 and 5.25 hours and 78% graded small. 53% of homes here are rented, so a majority of dates come from lease ends. Where the address is a tower, holding the elevator for the whole window is the one thing that keeps a day short.
-
Which neighbourhoods are the Parkwoods-O’Connor Hills figures based on?
Forty-three northeast Toronto communities that adjoin one another, this one among them, with 89 completed residential moves between them. Banbury-Don Mills carries 18, Thorncliffe Park 11 and Bayview Village 10, with Don Valley Village, North Toronto and Henry Farm behind. On its own this boundary has too few closed jobs to publish a figure.
-
Is there a busier month to move in Parkwoods-O’Connor Hills?
August, at 18 completed moves across the surrounding communities, then June at 11 and February at 9. The hourly rate is identical in all three. What a busier month affects is which dates the buildings still have free, not what any of them costs.

Parkwoods-O’Connor Hills neighbourhood guide for moving day
The mixed housing is the thing to plan around, because the bottleneck changes completely between the two halves of it. A third of homes are in buildings of five storeys or more, and those jobs want the elevator and the loading area held with the building beforehand, usually the most useful call you can make. The detached and row houses want something else entirely: the driveway clear, and somebody thinking about the interior stairs. Either way, the City has published no page covering a moving truck parked in front of a home, so a call to 311 about your street is worth making before the day.

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.

I am very satisfied with the customer service — from the booking process all the way to the move itself. The guys helped relocate my online store from my home to a new warehouse. Thank you once again for the move and the coffee!

Josh and Niko were great. Very friendly, professional and efficient. They eased our worries throughout the move, updated us frequently throughout the process and told us to just 'sit back and relax'. Probably the best moving experience I've had.
