Movers in South Eglinton-Davisville: what we know about moving here

The size grading on our jobs inside South Eglinton-Davisville reads 100% small, and the median bill is still $906, above the $710 middle across the southeast Toronto communities around it. That one comparison is most of what there is to know about moving here. This is an apartment neighbourhood of the 1990s: most homes are rented, most households are one or two people, and the loads really are light. What fills the hours is the building rather than the furniture: the elevator booked for a window, the loading dock, the corridor between the two.

At least 9 residential moves have been attributed to the boundary since 2025, 8 of them inside the last twelve months, and the middle one ran 4 hours on site on a crew of 2 movers. Nine jobs is not a season, but their consistency is itself the finding: this is a neighbourhood that produces one kind of moving day.

South Eglinton-Davisville neighbourhood guide for moving day

Where nearly all homes are in buildings of five storeys or more, property management sets the schedule rather than the crew. The elevator reservation, the loading dock and the permitted hours are all decided by the building, and whatever that process turns out to be, it binds before anything else does. Settle it when you settle the date. The upside is the load: households here are small, which is why the size grading on this page reads 100% small. The one thing Toronto does not settle is the curb, its street permit having been drafted for moving containers, so 311 will tell you what your address needs.

What a move this size costs in Southeast Toronto

  • 2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

South Eglinton-Davisville has fewer than five one-bedroom moves of its own, so this card comes from the 55 at that size across Southeast Toronto. Two movers, one truck and a middle day of 3.25 hours, with half running between 3 and 5.13 hours. The middle bill was $733 and half fell between $573 and $1,029. With 86% of homes here in a building of five storeys or more, the lift window is usually what decides where a job like this lands.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Toronto, across 55 moves.

Two bedrooms runs longer than the card above by more than two hours: 5.5 hours on site at the middle across Southeast Toronto, with half of the 18 at that size between 3.69 and 6.56 hours. Still two movers and one truck. The middle bill was $1,088 and half of them fell between $598 and $1,385, a wide band on 18 jobs. Fewer than five of that size have been recorded inside South Eglinton-Davisville, so the figures describe the size rather than this address.

How much does it cost to move in South Eglinton-Davisville?

$906 is the middle of the 6 priced jobs recorded inside the boundary, with half of them between $821 and $1,175. That sits above the $710 middle across the 135 moves in the 34 southeast Toronto communities around it. Six jobs is a short list, so the band is the more useful half of the figure.

  • Why does a small move here cost more than one in the neighbourhoods nearby?

    Not because the rate differs. Every job graded inside South Eglinton-Davisville came out small, yet the middle bill was $906 against $710 across the surrounding communities. What that gap measures is hours, and where 86% of homes are in a building of five storeys or more, the hours go into the lift and the corridor rather than the furniture.

  • What does a one-bedroom move cost around South Eglinton-Davisville?

    $733 across Southeast Toronto, with half of the 55 at that size between $573 and $1,029, on two movers, one truck and 3.25 hours on site. Fewer than five one-bedroom jobs sit inside this boundary, so the card is cut from the wider set. Given households of 1.7 people here, it is the size most local moves resemble.

  • How long does a move in South Eglinton-Davisville take?

    The middle of the 9 moves attributed to the boundary ran 4 hours on site on a crew of 2, with half of them between 3 and 5.25 hours. That is longer than the 3.25 hours across the surrounding communities, on loads graded 100% small, which is what a building's elevator schedule does to an otherwise short job.

  • What is included in the hourly rate in South Eglinton-Davisville?

    The movers and the truck at the size the job needs, on a rate the agreement states before anything is lifted. Travel time inside city limits is not charged, so the hours billed are hours at the address, lift waits included. Packing and bin rental can be added here, each quoted on its own.

    Cactus moving did a fantastic job, the team was professional and timely. If I’m moving again I would definitely use them. I recommend them as well. My only suggestion would be to avoid using DoorDash/ Uber Eats to send over the complimentary beverage, unless you have a deal with them.

    I would like to sincerely thank the Cactus Moving team for assisting with my move. Over the years, I had accumulated many belongings, each carrying precious memories. My greatest concern was my library—books have been my lifelong companions, and each one holds a special place in my heart.

    I was kinda dreading this move 'cause, let’s be real, most moving companies are either slow, careless, or both. But Cactus Moving—man, Alexei and Nikita totally changed my mind about movers.

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.
