Rose Highway by the numbers - Drive from our Sparks warehouse 17 mi, about 23 min via I-580, SR 431 - Population 30,956 - Households 13,054 - Homes owned / rented 69.3% / 30.7% - Median year built 1997 - Median home value $916,600 - Moved in the past year 16.7% - Elevation 6,286 ft - County Washoe County - ZIP codes 89511 Figures for ZIP 89511 as a whole. Data (read 2026-10-19): [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html); [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data, free-flow drive from 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks](https://project-osrm.org/); [USGS Elevation Point Query Service](https://apps.nationalmap.gov/epqs/). This is the highest neighborhood we serve inside Reno's ZIP codes. The streets climb toward the Mt. Rose summit, the lots are larger and the winters are real. ZIP 89511 includes the lower South Meadows area as well as the hills, so the Census figures describe the whole ZIP; the elevation and drive time on this page are for the upper end, near Galena and Montreux. ## A mountain road changes the plan The drive from Glendale Avenue is about 9 miles on I-580 and then 6 miles on SR 431, the Mt. Rose Highway, which climbs steadily. It is the only road in, so the crew leader checks conditions before the truck leaves the yard and tells you if the start has to move. NVRoads, the state's road-conditions site, lists closures and chain requirements. When a storm is in the forecast, the safest answer is often a different day, and we would rather reschedule than put a loaded truck on an icy grade. Drives like this are also why a move here takes planning at the other end of the day. Allow time for the climb back down to the warehouse if the load is going into storage. ## Snow, ice and what the crew brings At 6,286 feet snow can fall here when it is only rain in Sparks, and it stays on shaded driveways long after the roads are clear. Tell the estimator about steep or north-facing driveways. On a wet or snowy morning the crew lays runners, mats the entry and may carry pieces to the truck in shorter trips. Winter moves are possible with the right plan, and summer is the easier season on this hill. ## Large homes, mature households The median household income in this ZIP is above $124,000, the median age is 46 and the median year built is 1997. About 69 percent of homes are owned, and two thirds are detached houses. Homes of this size usually mean extra rooms, a big garage, outdoor furniture and sometimes a piano, pool table or hot tub. Those take extra hands and a clear plan; see [hot tub moving](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/hot-tubs/) and [pool table moving](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/specialty-moving/pool-tables/). ## Seasonal and second homes Some households spend part of the year elsewhere or keep furniture off site while they remodel. Vault storage in Sparks starts at $40 per month, with about 2 to 3 weeks notice to ship goods out.
