Regent Park is recent, vertical housing. Nearly four homes in five are apartments in buildings of five storeys or more, most of them rented, and the middle home dates from the 2011-to-2015 band. A move here almost always begins in a lobby, with a lift and a loading bay that the building rather than the crew controls. Households are small and a large share of homes hold a single person, which keeps the loads themselves compact. The result is a particular kind of day: not much to carry, but a building's schedule standing between it and the truck, and that is the piece worth settling before a start time is agreed.
What follows is the record from the southeast Toronto communities this one sits among.
Moving costs around Regent Park, by the numbers
Regent Park has fewer than five priced moves of its own on the books, so the band below pools the 32 southeast Toronto communities beside it and the 133 moves between them. Wellington Place carries 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 middle bill was $719 with tax in and the middle day ran 3.25 hours, half of the work falling between $567 and $1,138 and between 3 and 5 hours. Read it as the shape of the work near Regent Park rather than a quote for one address here.

How much does it cost to move in Regent Park?
The figure to plan against is $719, the middle of 133 residential moves recorded across the 32 southeast Toronto communities around Regent Park, with half of them between $567 and $1,138. Regent Park itself has too few priced jobs to publish a number. Billing is hourly and follows the crew size and the truck, so the minutes spent waiting on a lift are billed like the minutes spent carrying.

What is a condo or apartment move in Regent Park like?
It starts in a lobby. Nearly four homes in five here sit in a building of five storeys or more, so the lift and the loading bay are settled with building management before the date rather than sorted out with the crew on the morning. The load is usually light: households run 2.1 people and 45% of homes hold one person. What fills the hours is the trip down, not the volume.

How long does a move around Regent Park take?
The middle job across the surrounding southeast Toronto communities ran 3.25 hours on site, with half of the 133 finishing between 3 and 5 hours and 82% graded small. In a tower the lift decides which end of that a day lands at. A reserved car keeps a small load near the short end; sharing one with the whole building is what stretches an afternoon.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Regent Park?
Toronto publishes no rule either way. Its street occupation permit names moving containers and says nothing about a truck, so 311 is where a specific address gets settled. On a street this vertical the booking that matters more is usually the building's own loading bay, and that one is arranged with management rather than with the City.

Regent Park neighbourhood guide for moving day
Recent buildings and a heavily vertical housing stock mean most moves here start in a lobby with a lift to book. That booking is made with the building's management, not with the crew, and it is the item most likely to constrain a date, so settle it before a start time is agreed. Small households keep the loads modest, which is why two movers cover a lot of this work, and the wait for a shared lift can take more of the day than the furniture does. As for parking, no City document settles what a moving truck at the curb is allowed to do; 311 handles that question street by street.

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.

I want to give a big shout-out to Cactus Moving and the amazing team of Aleksei and Valentin who helped me with my recent move. From the moment they arrived, they were polite and professional - they even asked if it was okay to keep their shoes on before entering.
