The blocks around Virginia Street change residents quickly. The Census count shows roughly 3,500 people in 2,300 households, nearly four in five of them renting, and more than a third arriving or leaving within a single year. Apartments here are small, leases are fixed, and a unit that frees up on the first of the month has to be empty by the thirtieth. Storage is how many of these households bridge the days or months between one door closing and the next opening. ## Small apartments, short gaps A one-bedroom downtown rarely has a closet for a second set of furniture. When a resident takes a temporary assignment, travels for the winter or waits on a Midtown lease that starts next month, the couch, bed and boxes need a safe place that does not mean renting another unit. Vaults suit this pattern because the crew does the carrying. A building with an elevator, a loading dock or only street parking is something the estimator looks at during the visit, so the plan fits your building rather than a generic one. ## From 89501 to the warehouse The warehouse at 2277 Glendale Ave is about 2.2 miles and 6 minutes from the Downtown point used in the Census data. A short drive means a short day: loading in the morning, vaults stacked in [the warehouse](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/about/our-warehouse/) by lunch. Each vault measures 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft and is closed and stacked with a forklift. The household keeps an inventory of what was packed, which matters when forty items go in and only twelve come out first. ## Who uses storage downtown - Renters whose new lease starts after the old one ends - Residents moving between buildings in different parts of the Truckee Meadows - Residents leaving for a temporary job or a long trip - Owners of condos and lofts staging a unit for sale - Second-home owners; the Census counts about 5.7 percent of units here as seasonal or second homes ## Getting a quote Start with a phone ballpark at 775-359-6683, then book the [free in-home estimate](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/free-estimate/), which comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes. Stored goods ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice, so a lease that ends in a month calls for a call this week. If the stay might last months, read about [long-term storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/long-term-storage/) before choosing a start date. ### 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) - [eCFR, 49 CFR Part 375, Transportation of Household Goods in Interstate Commerce](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-III/subchapter-B/part-375) ### Vault storage in Sparks Wooden vaults, 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft each, in our 30,000 sq ft warehouse.

Tell the estimator about elevators, stairs, parking and building rules during the visit so the crew arrives with the right plan. ### Is Downtown close enough for same-day loading? At 2.2 miles, loading and stacking can often be finished within a single working day, and the estimator will tell you after seeing the volume. ### Can I store part of my things and move the rest? Yes. The estimator lists which items go into the vaults and which ride to your next address.

We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future. ### Owner's reply Francie, Thank you for this amazing review.
