Dayton has grown quickly along US 50 east of Carson City. The numbers above show a younger housing stock, with a median year built of 2002 and more than half of homes built in 2000 or later, and a high share of owners. Dayton homes are modern, large and full, and they come with garages and yards.

Single-family homes at scale

With 79.9 percent of households owning and nearly nine in ten homes detached, Dayton moves are mostly full-house moves. The median is 5.9 rooms per home, higher than Carson City, Fernley or Fallon. More rooms mean more furniture, more boxes and often a second truck.

The estimator plans crew size from the inventory. A typical Dayton estimate includes the garage, the yard and any play equipment; items that need disassembly, such as trampolines and playsets, are listed on the itemized estimate.

A road with several parts

The route has three pieces: I-580 to Carson City, US 50 east, and a short county road into the neighborhood, as the fact block shows. The drive takes longer than the mileage suggests because of the lower speeds on US 50, so the crew checks the day's schedule before adding a second stop.

New construction and move-in dates

Because so many Dayton homes are new, many moves line up with a closing or a builder's completion date. When the date shifts, a household can put its goods in a wooden vault in Sparks and take delivery when the house is ready. Shipping stored goods needs about 2 to 3 weeks of notice; see storage for Dayton households. Vault storage starts at $40 per month.

Packing, senior and long-distance moves

Large new homes are good candidates for the full or partial packing service. Dayton also has a median age of 44, and older owners can use senior moves and downsizing. If you are leaving Nevada, long-distance moving from Dayton runs through the Bekins network and is priced by weight.

Wind and winter on US 50

Dayton sits near 4,300 feet, lower than Carson City, so snow is lighter but wind is common. Crews tie off open truck doors and shrink-wrap upholstered furniture in wind. Call the office if road conditions change; the winter moving guide has more.

What customers say about O'Brien's

Greg S.

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.

Thanks for the great review Greg! We really appreciate you taking the time to do that for us. We look forward to working with you again!
