Auburn is a Placer County city of about 13,800 people, set low in the foothills at roughly 1,200 feet. It is a homeowner town with larger houses than most of the foothills, and a median home value of $672,500, the highest of the four California foothill towns we cover. That shapes what a move here looks like. ## Mostly houses, mostly owners About 62 percent of Auburn households own their home, and 71 percent of the housing is single-family detached. Almost 4,000 of the 6,446 homes have three or more bedrooms. Compared with Grass Valley or Placerville, that means more rooms to pack, more garages and attics to empty, and more furniture per household. A larger house is where a free in-home estimate earns its keep. The estimator counts every room, the garage and the outbuildings, and writes an itemized written estimate. Your 10 free heavy-duty boxes come with the visit. ## A town that sees movers arrive and leave About 16 percent of Auburn residents moved in the past year, and nearly 3 percent came from another state, higher than any other foothill town in our list. Many of those households are working out whether to keep a Sierra foothill home or relocate east to Nevada. For the move toward Nevada, see [Auburn to Reno](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/routes/auburn-to-reno/). ## I-80 all the way Of the 102 miles from Sparks, about 100 are on I-80, so the route is one road: out of Sparks, past Truckee, over Donner Summit and down to Auburn. The summit is the weak point in winter. Snow, chain controls and closures can hold a truck on either side of the pass, so a winter move gets a flexible schedule. Auburn itself is low enough that snow at the house is rare. ## Interstate and in-state moves A move from Auburn to Reno, Sparks or elsewhere in Nevada is an interstate move under U.S. DOT No. 30611 and MC-109375. The Bekins network carries it, and your written estimate sets the delivery window. A move between Auburn and Sacramento, Roseville or any other California address runs under O'Brien's California permit, Cal PUC T-90973 (as published by O'Brien's).

A move between Nevada and California crosses a state line, so it is an interstate move under our federal authority (U.S. DOT No. 30611, MC-109375) instead.

If I have another move, it will be O'Brien for sure!! ### Owner's reply WE ARE THRILLED TO HEAR THE MOVE WENT SO WELL!!!! Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to let us know. F Francie H. February 20, 2026 We were referred to O'Brien's Moving and Storage though a friend in Reno. We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future. ### Owner's reply Francie, Thank you for this amazing review. The result you have expressed is exactly what we all strive to accomplish. I love that you walked away knowing you are now a part of the O'Brien's family, whenever you need us we are a phone call away! I will let the movers know about the kind words expressed about them, that will be very satisfying for all of them. We will look forward to any referrals you send our way, thank you for the opportunity! M Mark S. January 22, 2026 Great company and local. They take great care of your moving needs.
