Movers in St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands: what we know about moving here

Almost everything in St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands is a tower apartment and most of it is recent construction, so the moves recorded here look remarkably alike. The middle job runs 4 hours on site with a crew of 2, and the middle half of them spans barely more than an hour, from 3.25 to 4.5. The money band is just as tight, $580 to $744 around a $611 median. That median sits below the $736 across the 135 moves in the surrounding southeast Toronto communities rather than above it.

At least 9 residential moves have been attributed to the boundary since 2025, 7 of them in the last twelve months. What the consistency reflects is a neighbourhood with effectively one kind of address: a lease or a closing on an apartment, a booked lift, and a loading area rather than a driveway.

St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands neighbourhood guide for moving day

There is effectively one preparation checklist here and it belongs to the building: the service elevator window and the loading area. Nearly every home in St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands is in a building of five storeys or more, most of it built in the second half of the 2000s, so the arrangements repeat from one address to the next. Confirm both as soon as the date is set. Households are small, which is why a one-bedroom load is what two thirds of the recorded jobs here have been. The City has never set out what a moving truck may do at a residential curb, so where a building has no loading area, ask 311 what the street allows.

St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands moving costs, by the numbers

Those figures come from residential jobs with a collection or delivery address inside this neighbourhood's boundary. At least 9 qualify from 2025 onward, a floor rather than a total, and 7 of them fell in the past year. Eight carry a price, and they land close together: $580 to $744 around a $611 median. Both bands on this page are narrow, the duration one running only 3.25 to 4.5 hours, and that is the useful thing here: a small sample that agrees with itself is worth more than a larger one that does not.

What a move in St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands actually looks like

Four sizes of move, cut out of 9 completed residential jobs in St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands. Another 2 were storage runs, container loads and part-home jobs whose paperwork records no bedroom count; they belong to none of the four.

This card is the only one on the page cut from local work: 6 one-bedroom moves inside St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands, two thirds of everything recorded here. Two movers, one truck, 4 hours on site at the middle with half running between 3.44 and 4.38, and a middle bill of $688 with half between $597 and $757. Six jobs is a short list, and it is the tightness rather than the midpoint that is worth reading. A booked lift is what keeps a job inside that hour of spread.

half fell between $785 and $1,328 · 15 moves

  • 5.5 hours on site half ran 4.63–7.13 hours
  • 2 movers · 1 truck the crew and trucks actually dispatched, median

Fewer than five two-bedroom jobs have been recorded here, so this card widens to the 15 at that size across Southeast Toronto. The middle day ran 5.5 hours on site, with half of them between 4.63 and 7.13 hours, still on two movers and one truck. The middle bill was $1,098 and half fell between $785 and $1,328. That is roughly a bedroom's worth of extra hours over the local one-bedroom card, and in a tower most of it is trips rather than lifting.

Fewer than five moves of this size here, so these figures come from Southeast Toronto, across 15 moves.

How much does it cost to move in St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands?

$611 is the middle of the 8 priced jobs recorded inside the boundary, with half of them between $580 and $744. That sits below the $736 middle across the 135 moves in the 33 southeast Toronto communities around it. The rate is hourly and set by the crew and truck, and here it is buying a short, repeatable kind of day.

  • What does a one-bedroom move cost in St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands?

    $688 in the middle, from 6 one-bedroom jobs completed inside the boundary, with half of them between $597 and $757. That is two movers, one truck and 4 hours on site. It is also two thirds of everything recorded here, so of the figures on this page it rests on the steadiest local sample.

  • Why are the prices here so much alike?

    Because the addresses are. 94% of homes are in a building of five storeys or more, the middle one built between 2006 and 2010, and 53% of households are one person. One kind of home and one size of load produce one kind of day, which is why the middle half of the local jobs spans only $580 to $744.

  • How long does a move here take?

    4 hours on site is the middle of the 9 moves attributed to this boundary, with half of them between 3.25 and 4.5 hours. That hour and a quarter of spread is narrower than the 3 to 5.13 hours across the surrounding southeast Toronto communities. A held lift is most of the reason a day stays inside it.

  • Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands?

    Toronto has published no rule for it, its street occupation permit being written for moving containers rather than trucks, so 311 is the place to ask about a specific address. In practice the building's own loading area answers the question here, and that is arranged with property management rather than the City.

Ask Toronto in person, or price the move yourself in a minute.

The ring around this one runs dearer and looser. 33 southeast Toronto communities carry 135 moves between them, with a middle bill of $736 and a middle day of 3.25 hours, and half of that work spread between $568 and $1,130. Wellington Place supplies 21, Downtown Yonge East 15 and Harbourfront-CityPlace 11, with Fort York-Liberty Village, South Eglinton-Davisville and The Beaches behind. Inside this boundary the middle bill was $611 and the middle half spanned $580 to $744, which is what one repeated kind of address does to a band.

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.
