Gardnerville has about 5,500 residents with a median age of 55.7, and 48.5 percent of its households rent. That makes it a town of retirees, long-time valley families and new renters, all within reach of O'Brien's crews on US 395.
Gardnerville is the commercial town of the Carson Valley, with a main street, shops and apartments close to the highway. Its Census figures are unlike its neighbors': the median age is above fifty-five, the share of renters is close to half, and about 17 percent of residents moved in the past year, the highest rate of any town in the valley.

Two kinds of mover in one small town
An older population and a high turnover rate sound contradictory, but they both appear here. Retirees move to Gardnerville and often downsize within it, while younger renters move through town for jobs in the valley. About 31 percent of householders moved in since 2020, so a large part of the town is new to its address.
For retirees, the senior moves and downsizing service pairs sorting and packing help with a gentle moving-day plan. For renters, the important questions are lease dates, stairs and parking.
Newer homes, newer layouts
Over half of Gardnerville homes were built in 2000 or later, and the median year built is 2001. Newer housing usually means wider doors, attached garages and open floor plans, which makes the work faster but not necessarily lighter; large sectionals, pool tables and wine racks are all common. See pool table moving and wine cellar moving.
Getting there from Sparks
Crews leave the Glendale Ave yard, take I-580 through Carson City and continue on US 395 into the valley, a drive the fact block measures in miles and minutes. Gardnerville is a little past Minden, so a crew serving both can load in one town and unload in the other.

Packing and storage
Many Gardnerville moves start with packing. The Gardnerville packing page describes full packing, partial packing and box-packing only, where the crew packs into boxes you provide. For storage, wooden vaults at the Sparks warehouse cost from $40 per month; see storage for Gardnerville households.
Office and long-distance moves
Small offices on the main street and businesses along the highway can use office moving with evening or weekend crews. Households leaving the valley for another state can use the long-distance service, carried by the Bekins network, with O'Brien's handling the Nevada end.
3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again.
