Scarborough Village is a tower neighbourhood carrying family-sized households. More than two thirds of its homes are apartments in buildings of five storeys or more, so most jobs begin or end at a shared entrance with a service elevator to hold and a window the building sets rather than you. But the people behind those doors are not mostly living alone, so what comes down the lift is more often a family's furniture than a studio's boxes, and the window has to be long enough for it. Renters hold a slight majority of the stock, which puts more dates on lease ends than on closings. The detached houses making up much of the rest are the opposite kind of day: nothing to reserve, and a staircase instead.
What those jobs take and what they cost is measured below, across the northeast Toronto communities around Scarborough Village.
Moving costs around Scarborough Village, by the numbers
Nothing in the band below was measured on a Scarborough Village street. It pools 43 northeast Toronto communities and the 89 moves between them, with Banbury-Don Mills carrying 18, Thorncliffe Park 11 and Bayview Village 10, and Don Valley Village, North Toronto and Henry Farm behind them. Half of that work cost between $488 and $1,247 and ran between 3 and 5.25 hours, the middle bill landing at $675 on a 3-hour day. 78% graded small and 21% medium.

How much does it cost to move in Scarborough Village?
$675 is the middle of 89 residential moves recorded across the 43 northeast Toronto communities around Scarborough Village, half of them between $488 and $1,247. Scarborough Village has too few priced jobs of its own to publish a figure. Cactus bills by the hour, at a rate set by the crew and truck the job needs and written into the agreement before the crew starts.

What is an apartment move like in Scarborough Village compared with a house?
The apartment is the common case, with 68% of homes in a building of five storeys or more against 18% detached. In a tower the service elevator, the loading area and the permitted hours are property management's to grant, so all three go on the plan with the date. A house has none of that to reserve and a staircase instead, which is a different day at the same hourly rate.
-
How long does a move around Scarborough Village take?
3 hours is the middle of the surrounding northeast Toronto communities, with half of the 89 running between 3 and 5.25 hours. Households here hold 2.8 people, so the load coming down a lift is more often a family's than one person's, and a lift window has to be long enough for it. That window, rather than the furniture, is usually what pushes a day toward the top of the band.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Scarborough Village?
Toronto has published nothing that answers it. Its street occupation permit names moving containers and leaves trucks unmentioned, so 311 is where a particular street gets settled. In a neighbourhood this vertical the more useful arrangement is usually the building's own loading area, which is booked with management rather than with the City.

Scarborough Village neighbourhood guide for moving day
Where most homes sit behind a lobby door, the moving day belongs partly to the building. The service elevator, the loading area and the hours a move is permitted are set by property management, and getting all three confirmed when the date is fixed is what keeps a job from waiting on a lift it has to share. Household size makes that window matter more here, because there is more to bring through it. The houses have the reverse problem: nothing to reserve, but stairs and a walk to the truck. Toronto has published no rule covering a moving truck at a residential curb, and the permit on its books names containers. Ask 311 about your own 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.

Alex and Nikita are outstanding movers. They are very professional, capable, respectful, friendly, and extremely helpful. Alex is an excellent lead and Nikita works in sync with him. They made my move seemless and effiencient. I highly recommend them and Cactus Moving for your next move.
