Half of St.Andrew-Windfields is detached houses and a quarter is apartments in buildings of five storeys or more, with very little in between, so a move here is one of two quite different days: a house with a room count, a basement and interior stairs, or a tower with a lift and a loading door that have to be reserved. Most of the stock is owner-occupied and the households are family-sized, which on the house side means a whole home coming out at once rather than a room's worth.
The costs and hours below are measured across the northeast Toronto communities this one sits inside. That is a broader base than any single neighbourhood provides, and its record includes large jobs as well as small ones.
Moving costs around St.Andrew-Windfields, by the numbers
The band below counts 46 northeast Toronto communities and 100 moves between them, none of them inside St.Andrew-Windfields, which has too few priced jobs to publish. Banbury-Don Mills carries 18, Thorncliffe Park 11 and Bayview Village 10, with Bedford Park-Nortown, Don Valley Village and Lansing-Westgate at 6 each. Half of the work cost between $513 and $1,259 and ran between 3 and 6 hours, the midpoints landing at $717 and 3 hours. 75% graded small and 24% medium, a slightly heavier mix than the small-move share alone suggests.

How much does it cost to move in St.Andrew-Windfields?
$717 is the middle of 100 residential moves recorded across the 46 northeast Toronto communities around St.Andrew-Windfields, half of them between $513 and $1,259. The rate is hourly and set by the crew and the truck. Which half of this neighbourhood you are leaving decides the hours, and the hours decide the total.
-
What is a tower move like in St.Andrew-Windfields compared with a house?
27% of homes are in a building of five storeys or more and 51% are detached, so both are common. A tower move begins with a lift and a loading door booked from property management. A house move begins with a driveway and interior stairs and nothing to reserve, but with a full household behind the front door at 2.7 people per home.
-
How long does a move around St.Andrew-Windfields take?
The middle day across the surrounding northeast Toronto communities ran 3 hours on site, with half of the 100 between 3 and 6 hours. That upper figure is the widest in this ring, and it is where a detached house with a basement usually lands. Only 22% of homes here hold one person.
-
Why is the range of prices around St.Andrew-Windfields so wide?
Because a single median is covering 46 communities and every size of home in them. A one-bedroom in a tower and a five-room house are billed at the same hourly rate over very different numbers of hours, which is what stretches the band from $513 to $1,259. Splitting the job by size beforehand is what narrows it.
-
Is moving cheaper at certain times of year in St.Andrew-Windfields?
No. The hourly rate holds steady across the calendar. August, June and February carry the most of the 100 moves recorded around here, which says when the work gathers rather than when it is cheap. Your own figure follows the size of the home and how much of it is boxed.

St.Andrew-Windfields neighbourhood guide for moving day
The split is the planning question. On the house half, the hours go into the room count, the basement and the walk from the door to the truck, and crew size is the lever that shortens the day. On the tower quarter, the lift and the loading bay set the pace and both are reserved with the building rather than with us. Do it when the date is fixed. Family-sized households on either side mean there is usually more to move than a single occupant's worth. The curb is unresolved either way: Toronto sets out no permit rule for a truck outside a home, so 311 is worth a call.

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.

Very good and green service. Niko and Alex are very friendly and helpful to move all stuff very carefully to drop off place.

It was a very smooth moving process. The movers were friendly, efficient, and came on time, which made us feel less stressed overall. They were super quick at disassembling and assembling the large furniture such as my bed even though I knew it was a bit complex to build.

I had an incredible experience with Cactus Moving. After being let down by another company, Vinay and David stepped in at the last minute and were fantastic.
