Cold Springs is a community of newer family homes: a median build year of 2004, 90 percent single-family detached, a median of 6.1 rooms and 91.8 percent owned. The median age is 36.7, and about 3,600 households live here. A senior move in a place like this is often about family, a parent joining a household or a grandparent leaving one. ## When the move is about family In a younger community, older residents are often parents of the owners. Moves go both ways: into the family home from another city, or out of it for a smaller place. Either way, the crew can set up a bedroom the way it was, with a bed, a dresser and the favorite chair placed before dinner. ## Homes of six rooms A 6.1-room median means bedrooms, a family room and a garage that all hold things. When a household downsizes, each room is a decision. The [senior moving checklist](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/senior-moving-checklist/) puts them in order, and [packing](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/) by the crew can take on the rooms that need the most time. ## The longest run on the north side Cold Springs is 19 miles and 27 minutes from Glendale Ave, using I-580. Plan a full day. The crew loads, drives to the new home, and carries storage pieces to the warehouse. Ask the estimator how the day's stops are ordered, and keep the [first-night box](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/first-night-box/) items with you. ## A vault for what is undecided Not every decision has to be made before the truck leaves. Wooden vaults, 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, hold the pieces that are waiting for a choice. [Vault storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/vault-storage/) starts from $40 per month. ## Boxes before the estimate Sorting can start before anyone visits. The free heavy-duty boxes arrive with the estimate, and the office sells boxes and supplies at the Sparks counter for families who want to begin sooner. Pack the least-used rooms first, label every carton by room and keep a short list of what is in the boxes for the new bedroom. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html) - [Administration for Community Living, Eldercare Locator](https://eldercare.acl.gov/home) - [USPS, Mover's Guide](https://moversguide.usps.com/) ### Free in-home estimate - An O'Brien's estimator walks through your home - A written, itemized estimate - 10 free heavy-duty boxes, yours to keep [How our estimates work](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/how-our-estimates-work/) ### Visit or call the office 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks, NV 89431 [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) | Monday to Friday | 8:00 am to 5:00 pm | | --- | --- | | Saturday and Sunday | Closed | [Get my free estimate](#estimate) ### Related - [Senior moves and downsizing help](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/senior-moving/) - [Moving a parent to assisted living](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-a-parent-to-assisted-living/) - [Movers in Cold Springs](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/cold-springs/) - [Moving-day tips from a family mover](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-day-tips/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Senior moves and downsizing in Verdi](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/verdi/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Washoe Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/washoe-valley/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Reno](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/reno/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Sparks](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/sparks/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Downtown and Midtown Reno (89501)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/downtown-midtown-reno/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Old Southwest Reno (89509)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/old-southwest-reno/senior-moving/) - [Movers in Cold Springs](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/cold-springs/) In Cold Springs ## More services in Cold Springs - [Packing services in Cold Springs](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/cold-springs/packing/) - [Storage for Cold Springs households](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/cold-springs/storage/) Answers ## Senior moves and downsizing in Cold Springs questions Still have a question?
