About Your Toronto to Hamilton Move
Moving from Toronto to Hamilton puts you in one of Ontario's fastest-growing cities while maintaining easy access to the GTA. The 80 km journey takes roughly an hour, making Hamilton an ideal choice for those seeking affordability while keeping Toronto within commuting distance.
Hamilton offers substantial cost savings - the overall cost of living is 19-25% lower than Toronto. The biggest difference is housing: rent is approximately 47% lower in Hamilton than Toronto, and groceries are about 32% cheaper. Many Hamiltonians commute to Toronto for work while enjoying the 'Steel City's' more relaxed lifestyle.
Our Hamilton moving team knows both cities well, handling moves along the QEW and Highway 403 corridors daily. We'll ensure your belongings arrive safely at your new Hamilton home, whether you're moving to the trendy Locke Street area, family-friendly Ancaster, or revitalized downtown.
Your belongings will travel approximately 80 km from Toronto, Ontario to Hamilton, Ontario.
Leaving Toronto
What to Know When Leaving Toronto
Before leaving Toronto, cancel your Toronto Hydro and Enbridge accounts and schedule final meter readings. Return any Toronto parking permits and cancel your TTC Presto card auto-reload if you won't be commuting back. Arrange mail forwarding through Canada Post - this is essential even for a short-distance move.
Update your address with ServiceOntario for your driver's license and vehicle registration. If you're selling your Toronto property, you'll likely have significant equity to put toward a larger Hamilton home. Research GO Transit schedules if you'll be commuting - the Lakeshore West line connects Hamilton to Union Station.
Arriving in Hamilton

Welcome to Hamilton - a city undergoing an exciting renaissance! Popular neighborhoods include the artsy James Street North corridor, historic Westdale near McMaster University, upscale Ancaster, and waterfront Burlington (technically a separate city but part of the Hamilton area). The city offers stunning escarpment views, over 100 waterfalls, and a thriving arts scene.

“I want to thank Ben, Mike and Chase for a wonderful experience. From the moment they walked into my 97 year old moms home they were so upbeat, kind, efficient and personable. This set the tone for this extremely hard move for our family. They were there before our scheduled time …which was much appreciated. We couldn’t believe how quickly the move was done. It was a long distance run and Our family just can’t thank Ben, Mike and Chase enough. Two Small Men are very lucky to have such wonderful employees.”
