East Sparks and Vista combines mid-age housing with steady ownership: a median build year of 1987, 63 percent of homes owned and a median age of 37.8. About 29.7 percent of homes date from before 1980. The Census counts nearly 11,000 households here, and about 69 percent of householders moved in before 2020. ## Thirty-nine years in a house Arithmetic is the quickest way to explain a senior move here. A house that was new in 1987 has been lived in for nearly four decades by the household that stayed. Four decades of birthdays, holidays and projects leave behind an attic, a garage and closets with layers. The crew works from the top down: attic first, garage next, then the rooms people use daily. ## Pieces with a past Many households keep furniture bought when the house was new. A solid wood dining table, a bedroom set and a piano are the usual large pieces. The crew pads and wraps each, and the estimator tells you in advance if a piece will not fit through the new home's door. See [how pianos are moved](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/how-to-move-a-piano/) if there is a piano in the plan. ## A short hop on I-80 East Sparks is 6 miles from Glendale Ave, a 13-minute drive along I-80. For a senior move, that means the crew reaches your home quickly in the morning and the vaults are not a long trip away. [Vault storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/vault-storage/) starts from $40 per month. ## When part of the house is for family A common plan is to split a household three ways: what moves with you, what goes to children and what is stored. The [home inventory builder](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/inventory-builder/) lets each family member see the list. The crew can deliver to more than one address, which the estimate shows as separate stops. ## Questions for the estimator Ask which rooms take the longest, how the crew protects floors and stair rails, and where the truck will park. Ask how the inventory is kept so you can check it after the move. A good estimator expects those questions, and the answers go on the written estimate where the whole family can read them. ### 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/) - [Downsizing for seniors](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/downsizing-for-seniors/) - [Movers in East Sparks (89434)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/east-sparks/) - [Movers in Sparks](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/sparks/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Senior moves and downsizing in Wingfield Springs and Northeast Sparks (89436)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/wingfield-springs/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Spanish Springs](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/spanish-springs/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Sun Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/sun-valley/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Lemmon Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/lemmon-valley/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Golden Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/golden-valley/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Cold Springs](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/cold-springs/senior-moving/) - [Movers in East Sparks (89434)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/east-sparks/) In East Sparks and Vista ## More services in East Sparks and Vista - [Packing services in East Sparks (89434)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/east-sparks/packing/) - [Storage for East Sparks (89434) households](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/east-sparks/storage/) - [Office and commercial moving in East Sparks (89434)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/east-sparks/office-moving/) Answers ## Senior moves and downsizing in East Sparks (89434) questions Still have a question?
