Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in Oshawa
Everything you need to know before your Oshawa move
The cost of moving in Oshawa depends on several factors including the size of your move, travel distance, number of movers required, truck size, and additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Smaller student moves near the university district may take less time, while larger residential relocations in North Oshawa neighbourhoods may require more planning. At One Day Movers, we provide transparent hourly pricing with no hidden fees. The price quoted for your Oshawa move is exactly what you pay.
Oshawa offers neighbourhoods suited to different lifestyles and budgets. Lakeview is one of the most scenic areas in the city, located along the Lake Ontario shoreline with access to parks, beaches, and waterfront trails. O’Neill is a well established neighbourhood known for its character homes, mature streets, and strong community atmosphere. Taunton and North Oshawa neighbourhoods such as Windfields and Kedron attract families looking for newer homes, schools, and access to modern amenities. Central Oshawa and Vanier provide convenient access to transit, shopping centres, and Highway 401.
Spring and summer are typically the busiest moving seasons in Oshawa, particularly from May through September when families relocate before the new school year begins. Oshawa also experiences a second moving peak in late August and early September when thousands of students move into housing near Ontario Tech University and Durham College along Simcoe Street North. Planning your move outside these busy weekends can help avoid congestion in the university district. Mid-week moves generally provide better availability and smoother scheduling. Winter relocations can still be completed but may require additional preparation due to sudden lake effect snow coming from Lake Ontario.
