Storage for Golden Valley households

Golden Valley is a small community in the northern Reno area, with about 1,100 residents in 419 households. Per the Census, 98 percent of homes are owner-occupied, the median home was built around 1980 and the median value is near $498,800. With a mover rate near zero, nearly everyone has lived in their house for years. Storage here is about a particular event, not a regular cycle.

When a rare move comes

A household that has stayed put for ten or twenty years has a lot to move, and the move often has a reason that does not wait: a sale, a change in health, a family decision. The crew works with whatever timing you have, and the vaults give the family somewhere to put the first load while others are decided.

A move in a small neighborhood leaves a gap, and a patient, organized crew with an inventory in hand helps the process feel orderly.

Eight miles and fourteen minutes

The Census point is 8.6 miles and about 14 minutes from the warehouse at 2277 Glendale Ave. The crew packs and loads, and a forklift stacks closed wooden vaults of 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft in the 30,000 sq ft building.

Households with few recent moves often want each step explained. The estimator does that at the free visit.

Reasons Golden Valley owners store

• Clearing a home of decades of belongings
• A move to a care community or a smaller home
• A remodel after years in one house
• Sorting an inherited house over several weeks

Taking it one step at a time

A household in a quiet neighborhood does not have to commit to everything at once. Start with the estimate, decide which rooms go first, and add vaults later if the plan changes. The estimator will explain what each step involves, and what is written into the itemized estimate.
