Downtown and Midtown is one of the neighborhoods nearest our warehouse, about 2.2 miles and 6 minutes from the center of 89501. It is also an area where the Census shows an older median age, 54.5, alongside small homes: a median of 2.2 rooms. Moves here are about fitting a life into less space or into more manageable space. ## Apartments and condos first With roughly 78 percent of households renting, most senior moves in this area begin in a unit, not a house. That changes the planning. Buildings have elevators, loading zones and quiet hours, and a truck needs a place to stop. Tell the estimator the building name and floor so the crew arrives with the right pads and enough hands. The page on [apartment and condo moves](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/local-moving/apartments-and-condos/) covers the usual building rules. ## Homes from 1975 The median home here was built in 1975, and about 59 percent were built before 1980. Older buildings can have narrow stairwells, tight turns and doorways cut for older furniture. The estimator measures the places a sofa or a china cabinet has to pass, so the crew knows in advance whether a piece goes through the door or needs another plan. ## Fitting two rooms into one A median of 2.2 rooms means many homes here are studios and one-bedrooms. When a household moves from a larger place into one of these, the sorting decides everything. Measure the new space, mark the pieces that fit and let the rest go to family or to storage. The [guide to downsizing for seniors](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/downsizing-for-seniors/) and the [home inventory builder](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/inventory-builder/) keep that list in one place. ## Storage a few minutes away Pieces that do not fit can wait in a wooden vault, 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, in our Sparks warehouse. Vault storage starts from $40 per month, and the ride from 89501 to Glendale Ave is short. Use the [vault sizer](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/storage-vault-sizer/) for a first count of vaults. ### 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/) - [Apartment and condo moves](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/local-moving/apartments-and-condos/) - [Movers in Downtown and Midtown Reno (89501)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/downtown-midtown-reno/) - [Downsizing for seniors](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/downsizing-for-seniors/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Senior moves and downsizing in Old Southwest Reno (89509)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/old-southwest-reno/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Caughlin Ranch (89519)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/caughlin-ranch/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Northwest Reno and Somersett (89523)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/northwest-reno-somersett/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in South Reno and Damonte Ranch (89521)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/south-reno-damonte-ranch/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Galena, Montreux and the Mt.
