Dayton, in Lyon County along the Carson River, has grown quickly to about 15,800 residents and almost 5,900 households. With a median age near 44 and about 80 percent owning, it is a young community, and older residents are a smaller share of the whole. ## Newer homes, simpler sorting A 2002 house usually has a modern layout, a two-car garage and built-in closets. Seniors in newer homes may have less to sort than in a 1950s farmhouse, but they often have more modern furniture, which is easy to move. The crew wraps and pads it all. ## A drive via US 50 Dayton is about 44 miles from the Sparks yard, roughly 66 minutes via I-580 and US 50. Estimators schedule a full day for a larger home. The Nevada Transportation Authority approval, CPCN 1070, covers moves that stay in the state. ## Moving closer to children Many Dayton seniors have adult children in Carson City, Reno or farther afield. The crew can move you to any of them, and moves out of state are coordinated through the Bekins network. See [long-distance moving](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/). ## Making room for the new place Measure the new rooms first and match furniture to the space. Items that do not fit can go to relatives or into a wooden vault. Read the [downsizing guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/downsizing-for-seniors/). ## Where Dayton owners go next Of the roughly 5,800 households in Dayton, about four in five own. The median home value is about $433,200, and owners who sell often use the proceeds to move to a smaller place, a one-level home or a care community. The crew moves you to whichever you choose, and the sale date drives the schedule, so tell the estimator when the closing is. ## Storing during a sale If your house sells before the next one is ready, furniture can wait in a vault. The crew picks up, inventories and stacks the vaults in the Sparks warehouse, and returns them when the new place is ready. See [storage while you sell your home](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-while-selling-a-home/). ## Making a small space feel like home In the new place the crew sets up beds first, then the kitchen, then the living room, and places pictures and small items where you point. Ask for the TV and the chair you use most to be set up before the crew leaves. ## Estimates The estimator brings 10 free heavy-duty boxes. Call 775-359-6683 between 8 am and 5 pm on a weekday. ### 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) - [Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division](https://www.adsd.nv.gov/) - [Nevada Transportation Authority](https://nta.nv.gov/) ### 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/) - [Movers in Dayton](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/dayton/) - [Long-distance moving as a Bekins agent](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/) - [Downsizing for seniors](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/downsizing-for-seniors/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Senior moves and downsizing in Virginia City](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/virginia-city/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Carson City](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/carson-city/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in North Carson City (89706)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/north-carson-city/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in West Carson City (89703)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/west-carson-city/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Minden](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Gardnerville](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/gardnerville/senior-moving/) - [Movers in Dayton](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/dayton/) In Dayton ## More services in Dayton - [Packing services in Dayton](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/dayton/packing/) - [Storage for Dayton households](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/dayton/storage/) - [Long-distance moving from Dayton](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/dayton/long-distance/) Answers ## Senior moves and downsizing in Dayton questions Still have a question?
