# Storage for Carson City households

About 38 percent of Carson City households rent, and renters tend to need storage the day a lease ends before the next one begins. O'Brien's packs and loads your things into wooden vaults and keeps them in the Sparks warehouse, with vault storage from $40 per month.

## Carson City: Movers and renters

- Drive to our vault warehouse 33 mi, about 39 min
- Households renting 37.7%
- Moved in the past year 13.5%
- Seasonal or second homes 0.5%

Data: [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html); [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data, free-flow drive from 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks](https://project-osrm.org/).

Carson City is the state capital and a city of about 58,000 people living in roughly 23,700 households. The Census counts about 37.7 percent of those households as renters and about 13.5 percent of residents as having moved within the past year, which means a steady stream of people with a move date that does not match their next key.

## What the renter share means for storage

A renting household has a hard end date. The lease runs out on the last day of the month, and the next place may open a week later or a month later. Storage fills that gap without forcing a rushed second move into a rented room or a friend's garage.

With about two in five Carson City households renting, short stays in the warehouse are common here. Some customers store for three weeks while a purchase closes, and others store for a season while they work out where they want to live.

## The drive to the vault warehouse

Our warehouse at 2277 Glendale Ave in Sparks is about 33 miles and 39 minutes from central Carson City, according to the drive figure printed above. That is a single truck trip, so the crew can load your home in Carson City and put the vaults away in Sparks the same day.

When you are ready for your things to come back, the vaults ride a truck to your new address. Your estimator sets that delivery with you in writing.

## How vault storage works

Vault storage is full service. The crew packs and wraps your furniture and boxes, loads them into wooden vaults that measure 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, and stacks them in the warehouse with a forklift. You do not carry anything to a unit or buy a lock.

Vault storage starts at $40 per month. To ship stored goods, give the office about 2 to 3 weeks notice.

## Common reasons Carson City customers store

- A lease that ends before the next home is ready
- A home sale that closes before the purchase does
- Staging a house with fewer pieces of furniture
- A remodel that clears out a floor or a kitchen
- A job change that starts before the family joins

## Planning your count and your date

The [vault sizer](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/storage-vault-sizer/) gives a quick idea of how many vaults a household needs. The free in-home estimate gives the real count, and it comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes that are yours to keep.

If your lease ends on a fixed date, start the conversation four to six weeks ahead so the packing day and the storage start line up. See [storage between homes](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-between-moves/) for how the gap between two addresses is handled.

3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again.

### Owner's reply
