Data (read 2026-10-19): U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates; OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data, free-flow drive from 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks; USGS Elevation Point Query Service.
Johnson Lane is an upland neighborhood east of Minden and Gardnerville, and the table above shows a settled community: the median resident is about 60 years old, nine in ten households own, and the median home was built in 1995. The move questions here are about elevation, long driveways and the right-sizing that follows retirement.

With around 2,576 households and a median household income above $121,000 in the Census data, Johnson Lane is an owner-occupied, single-story and two-story house market. Few moves here involve stairwells or elevators. They involve garages, workshops, hobby rooms and patio sets, so the in-home estimate spends time outdoors as well as in.
Only about 4 percent of residents moved in from another state in the past year, so most moves are local, from one Carson Valley address to another, or outbound toward family. Compare the town page for nearby Gardnerville Ranchos if you are weighing neighborhoods.
At 5,895 feet Johnson Lane sees real winter, more than the valley floor. Icy private roads can slow a truck even when US 395 is clear. Ask the estimator to note how your road is plowed and who maintains it, and consider a moving date in the milder part of the week.
Our crews lay floor protection at the door in wet or snowy weather. The seasonal checklist in moving in winter in the Sierra covers what to have ready.
The drive from 2277 Glendale Ave is 44.8 miles, mostly 34 miles of I-580 and a few miles of US 395, with a final stretch on local roads. The Census-geocoded estimate is 71 minutes, noticeably longer than the mileage suggests because of the climb and the side roads.
A move that begins and ends in Nevada falls under O'Brien's Nevada authority. Your written estimate states the plan.

A median age near 60 means many Johnson Lane moves are about fewer rooms, not more. Our senior moving service sorts, packs and sets up the new home in the order the family wants, and surplus furniture can wait in a vault in Sparks from $40 per month while decisions are made.

Yes. The Carson Valley is part of our everyday service area, and Johnson Lane is 44.8 miles from the Sparks office on I-580 and US 395.
Tell the estimator when you book. The crew can plan for a staging point near the road and shorter carries, and the written estimate reflects what the estimator saw.
The free in-home estimate comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes. The Sparks office also carries a full line of boxes and wrap if you pack yourself.

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.
Thanks for the great review Greg! We really appreciate you taking the time to do that for us. We look forward to working with you again!

My family moved exclusively with Bekins when I was young and O'Brien's made it a pleasure to return to this fine local company. I would be pleased to have any members of O'Brien's as friends and highly recommend O'Brien's to anyone needing the services they provide!
Bruce thank you so much for taking the time to review our company. It was an extreme pleasure to work for you, please do not hesitate to call us for any help you need in the future.
