Long-distance moving from Gardnerville

Gardnerville has about 5,500 residents and 2,800 households, and about 6.5 percent of them arrived from another state in the past year. The Census median age here is 55.7, among the older Carson Valley towns we serve. A typical Gardnerville long-distance move is therefore a household settling near family, downsizing, or moving after decades in one place.

A town with an older median age

A median age of 55.7 means half of Gardnerville residents are older than that. Those households often hold furniture from earlier chapters: a dining set from a larger house, a hutch, framed photographs and decades of kitchen things. They also face decisions about what goes to the next home and what does not.

O'Brien's estimators are used to that conversation. Our downsizing guide and the senior moving checklist help you sort before the visit, since weight drives the price of a long-distance move.

Gardnerville homes: owners and renters

About 51.5 percent of Gardnerville households own their home, and the rest rent, a more even split than in neighboring Minden. A renter leaving an apartment or a townhome has a lighter load and a shorter timeline. An owner usually starts with a listing date, and a move date gets built around the closing.

From the Carson Valley to your next state

An estimator comes to your Gardnerville home, about 49 miles from our Sparks office by I-580 and US 395, and writes an itemized written estimate. Before packing, the crew makes an itemized inventory and condition report. The Bekins network then carries the shipment, and your written estimate sets the delivery window.

• Full packing, partial packing, or box packing only into your own cartons
• Custom crating for glass, art and antiques
• Pianos, pool tables and safes by specialist crews
• Vault storage from $40 per month while your next home is readied

Moving to Gardnerville

If you are arriving, book with O'Brien's and we coordinate the move from your origin through the Bekins network, then deliver and unpack in Gardnerville. A storage stop between homes is a common way to bridge closing dates.
