Yonge-St. Clair is a tower neighbourhood and a renting one, and both halves of that matter on the day. Nearly two homes in three sit in a building of five storeys or more, most of the housing is rented rather than owned, and close to half of all homes hold a single person. What that adds up to is a neighbourhood where the ordinary job is one person's contents out of one unit, on a date fixed by a lease rather than a closing, through an entrance the building rather than the resident controls. The detached share is small enough that a driveway is the exception here rather than the default, and the middle home dates from 1961 to 1980.
The numbers beneath come from the surrounding southeast Toronto communities, which hold the larger body of completed work.
Moving costs around Yonge-St. Clair, by the numbers
Yonge-St. Clair has too few priced jobs of its own to publish, so the band pools 36 southeast Toronto communities and the 147 moves between them. Wellington Place carries 21, Downtown Yonge East 15 and Harbourfront-CityPlace 11, with Annex, South Eglinton-Davisville and St Lawrence-East Bayfront-The Islands at 9 each.

How much does it cost to move in Yonge-St. Clair?
$710 is the middle of 147 moves recorded across the 36 southeast Toronto communities around Yonge-St. Clair, with half of them between $550 and $1,160. Billing is by the hour, at a rate the crew size and the truck set. Because 49% of homes here hold one person, a local job often lands in the lower part of that band.
-
What does a condo or apartment move in Yonge-St. Clair involve?
A booking before anything else. 63% of homes here are in a building of five storeys or more, and the elevator time, the loading bay and the permitted hours are all allocated by the property. A crew that misses its window waits on the clock, so make that arrangement in the same conversation as the date.
-
Why are most moves around Yonge-St. Clair small ones?
Because the homes are. Households here hold 1.8 people and 49% of homes hold one, and 80% of the work across the surrounding southeast Toronto communities graded small. A one-unit load is a short day at an hourly rate, which is why the middle figure sits where it does rather than higher.
-
How long does a local move in Yonge-St. Clair take?
The middle day ran 3.25 hours on site, with half of the 147 recorded nearby between 3 and 5.13 hours. In a tower the variable is the lift rather than the furniture. A held car keeps a one-bedroom near the short end; a shared one, or a long walk between the bay and the truck, is what stretches it.
-
Do I need a permit to park a moving truck in Yonge-St. Clair?
Toronto publishes nothing that answers it. The City's street occupation permit covers moving containers and does not mention a truck being loaded, so 311 is where a specific address is settled. With only 8% of homes detached, the building's own loading bay is usually the more useful thing to book.

Yonge-St. Clair neighbourhood guide for moving day
On a page where most homes are in a building of five storeys or more, the thing worth doing first is not the packing. It is the booking with the building. Elevator time and loading-bay access are allocated by the property, and a crew that misses its window waits on the clock. The small detached share has the opposite problem, which is finding somewhere legal for the truck to stand; Toronto has never set out a rule for that at a residential curb, so 311 is the place to ask about a specific 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.

I deal with a lot of movers and see them do their job. Today I saw Alex,Nicole and Andrei of Cactus Moving do a pretty heavy duty move for one of my clients. I must say they did the move so smoothly and with a smile.

I'm in the midst of a renovation job and needed to empty my house after 25 years of living there. After 3 weeks of purging and packing, my partner went on a quest to find a mover. One of the self-storage facilities that she spoke to recommended Cactus.
