Lemmon Valley is a small community of about 4,400 people and 1,875 households. The median home was built in 1979, more than half of the homes date from before 1980 and 82 percent are single-family detached. About 89 percent of householders moved in before 2020. For a senior move, those figures describe a community of long-time owners in older houses. ## Houses from the 1970s A 1979 median build year points to homes that have been lived in for close to half a century. Over that time a house collects layers: furniture from the first decade, from the middle years, and from the last few. The estimator walks the whole property, including outbuildings and storage sheds, and lists what is going to the new place and what is staying. ## A 22-minute drive Lemmon Valley is 13.7 miles from our warehouse, and the drive along I-580 takes about 22 minutes. A senior move is best planned as one long day. Pack the day before if the house is large, and let the crew load, deliver and put vaults in the warehouse in a single trip. ## Quiet moves, careful hands Older adults often want the move to feel calm. Tell the estimator what matters most to you: a recliner that goes in first, a bed made up the first night, a kitchen set up before dinner. The crew can plan around those. See [first-night box](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/first-night-box/) ideas and the [moving timeline](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-timeline/). ## Storage for what comes next Furniture that has nowhere to go yet can be stored in wooden vaults, 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft. [Vault storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/vault-storage/) starts from $40 per month. Read [long-term storage tips](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/long-term-storage-tips/) if the stay may be long. ## Paperwork and the first week Alongside the packing, someone needs to update the address on accounts and arrange the mail. The [change-of-address checklist](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/change-of-address-checklist/) and the Postal Service's Mover's Guide cover both, and doing them a week early keeps the first days in the new home quiet. A family member can handle them while the crew handles the house. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html) - [Administration for Community Living, Eldercare Locator](https://eldercare.acl.gov/home) - [FMCSA, Protect Your Move](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/protect-your-move) ### Free in-home estimate - An O'Brien's estimator walks through your home - A written, itemized estimate - 10 free heavy-duty boxes, yours to keep [How our estimates work](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/how-our-estimates-work/) ### Visit or call the office 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks, NV 89431 [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) | Monday to Friday | 8:00 am to 5:00 pm | | --- | --- | | Saturday and Sunday | Closed | [Get my free estimate](#estimate) ### Related - [Senior moves and downsizing help](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/senior-moving/) - [Senior moving checklist](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/senior-moving-checklist/) - [Movers in Lemmon Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/lemmon-valley/) - [Long-term household storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/long-term-storage/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Senior moves and downsizing in Golden Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/golden-valley/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Cold Springs](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/cold-springs/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Verdi](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/verdi/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Washoe Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/washoe-valley/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Reno](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/reno/senior-moving/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in Sparks](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/sparks/senior-moving/) - [Movers in Lemmon Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/lemmon-valley/) In Lemmon Valley ## More services in Lemmon Valley - [Packing services in Lemmon Valley](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/lemmon-valley/packing/) - [Storage for Lemmon Valley households](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/lemmon-valley/storage/) Answers ## Senior moves and downsizing in Lemmon Valley questions Still have a question?

August 4, 2023 Talk about organized people. I peeked in the truck about an hour into the job and was amazed at how well organized it was and how many of my things had protective coverings. Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!! J Jennifer C. August 3, 2023 Customer service, packers, and loaders were very responsive, professional, and did an overall great job. C Christy R. March 25, 2023 All of the above!
