Movers in Woodbine-Lumsden: what we know about moving here

Woodbine-Lumsden is small and house-shaped. Over half its homes are single-detached and two-thirds of them are owned, with fewer than a fifth in a building of five storeys or more. Most moves here start at a front path and a set of steps rather than at a lobby. The middle home dates from 1960 or before. Three homes in ten hold a single occupant, so a detached address here is as often one owner or a couple as a full family, and the size of the load does not follow the size of the building.

The figures underneath are the southeast Toronto communities this one adjoins, added together.

Moving costs around Woodbine-Lumsden, by the numbers

Woodbine-Lumsden is small enough that its own priced jobs number fewer than five, so the band takes in 33 southeast Toronto communities and the 134 moves between them. Wellington Place accounts for 21, Downtown Yonge East 15 and Harbourfront-CityPlace 11, with South Eglinton-Davisville, St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands and The Beaches at 9 each. The middle bill was $722 with tax in on a 3.25-hour middle day, half the work between $568 and $1,161 and between 3 and 5 hours. 82% graded small and 16% medium.

How much does it cost to move in Woodbine-Lumsden?

$722 is the middle of 134 residential moves recorded across the 33 southeast Toronto communities around Woodbine-Lumsden, with half of them between $568 and $1,161. The neighbourhood has too few priced jobs to publish on its own. Cactus bills by the hour at a rate set by the crew and truck the job needs, stated before anything is lifted.

  • What does a detached-house move in Woodbine-Lumsden involve?

    A front path, a set of steps and a hallway, with nothing to reserve from a building. 55% of homes here are detached and 66% are owned, so this is the ordinary job. The middle home dates from 1960 or before, which is why a walkthrough pays: older frames and stair turns decide what comes out whole.

  • Why is the price range around Woodbine-Lumsden so wide?

    Because one figure covers 33 communities and every size of home in them, a studio in a tower downtown as readily as a house here. The $568 to $1,161 spread is mostly a spread of home sizes at one hourly rate. Households in Woodbine-Lumsden hold 2.3 people and 30% of homes hold one, which puts many local jobs below the middle.

  • Where can the moving truck park in Woodbine-Lumsden?

    Usually on the driveway or directly outside, which is the practical benefit of a street of houses. Toronto has published no rule covering a moving truck at a residential curb, and the permit on its books names containers instead, so 311 is the place to ask if anything about your frontage is unusual.

Woodbine-Lumsden neighbourhood guide for moving day

The useful figure here is that most homes are detached and fewer than a fifth sit in a building of five storeys or more. Most addresses are therefore a set of front steps, a hallway and a curb, with nothing to reserve and nobody to ask. The constraint is the doorway rather than the schedule. With the middle home dating from 1960 or before, a walk-through ahead of the date earns its keep: older frames and stair turns decide what comes out whole and what is dismantled first. Where the truck stands is the one thing Toronto has never published a rule about, so 311 answers it for your street.

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.

    These guys are the real deal. Niko and Josh arrived before time and were really very efficient. Thank you for making our move so smooth. Nothing was broken, and everything to the point.
