East Sparks and Vista run along I-80 east of the Sparks center, toward the industrial parks and the river. The Census figures for the ZIP count 10,973 households, 63 percent of them owners, and a median of 5.2 rooms. The yard on Glendale Ave is about 6 miles and 13 minutes away. ## The 1987 house A house built in the late 1980s usually has a two-car garage, a living room and a family room, and three bedrooms. In this ZIP, about 4,400 homes have three bedrooms and about 3,400 have two, with another 2,400 at four bedrooms. The kitchen holds the most breakables, the garage the most weight, and the bedrooms the most closet volume, and those three set the number of cartons. ## Established homes and what they hold Households that have lived in a house since the 1990s or earlier have a lot of accumulated things: files, photo albums, kitchen equipment and tools. Sorting is part of packing. If you want to reduce what you take, the crew can pack in groups for the new home, for donation and for storage, with each group marked. For a deeper sort, see [de-clutter and home-staging help](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/home-staging-and-declutter/). ## Close to the freeway, close to storage Because East Sparks is near I-80 and the warehouse is only about 6 miles away, it is simple to move cartons from a house to a vault. Vault storage starts at $40 per month, vaults measure 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, and stored goods are ready to ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice. See [long-term storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/long-term-storage/). ## Apartments and townhomes About 37 percent of homes in the ZIP are not owner-occupied. For apartments and townhomes, the crew uses smaller cartons and plans stairs and parking at the estimate. Packs for these homes are usually completed in a single day. ## Common packing requests in East Sparks - Kitchen and china packed by the crew - Garage and workshop packed ahead of time - Pictures, mirrors and electronics in padded cartons - Partial pack with a move date a week later ### 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) - [FMCSA, Protect Your Move](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move) ### 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 - [Professional packing services](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/) - [Full packing service](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/full-packing/) - [Long-term household storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/long-term-storage/) - [Movers in East Sparks (89434)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/east-sparks/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Packing services in Wingfield Springs and Northeast Sparks (89436)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/wingfield-springs/packing/) - [Packing services in Spanish Springs](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/spanish-springs/packing/) - [Packing services in Sun Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/sun-valley/packing/) - [Packing services in Lemmon Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/lemmon-valley/packing/) - [Packing services in Golden Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/golden-valley/packing/) - [Packing services in Cold Springs](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/cold-springs/packing/) - [Movers in East Sparks (89434)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/east-sparks/) In East Sparks and Vista ## More services in East Sparks and Vista - [Storage for East Sparks (89434) households](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/east-sparks/storage/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in East Sparks (89434)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/east-sparks/senior-moving/) - [Office and commercial moving in East Sparks (89434)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/east-sparks/office-moving/) Answers ## Packing services in East Sparks (89434) questions Still have a question? Call [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683), Mon-Fri 8-5, or see the [moving FAQ](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/). ### How long does a three-bedroom pack take? The estimator sets the days after seeing the house. Most three-bedroom homes can be packed in a day or two. ### Can the crew pack and put things into vaults? Yes. Cartons can be loaded straight from your home into vaults at the Sparks warehouse. ### Do I need to empty drawers? Ask the estimator. Light items in dresser drawers can often stay, and heavy items should come out. ## 4.3 stars from 71 Google reviews What customers say about O'Brien's [Read more reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/)[See them on Google](https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=17335326057105140938) M Mark S.
