O'Brien's crews pack either one, and the free in-home estimate comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes. or call [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683) [4.3 on Google · 71 reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/) Family owned since 1941 [U.S. DOT No. 30611](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/about/licenses-and-authority/) ## North Carson City: Homes and rooms - Median rooms per home 4.9 - Single-family detached homes 49.3% - Homes by bedrooms no bedroom: 273, 1: 1,161, 2: 2,544, 3: 4,412, 4: 690, 5+: 81 - Built before 1980 48.5% Data: [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html). ZIP 89706 covers the north side of Carson City, and the Census count for it shows about 8,400 households and a median home of 4.9 rooms. That is a smaller home than the Carson City average, with a different mix of work behind it. ## Half houses, half everything else The other half of the housing here is attached homes, duplexes and apartment buildings. Packing for those starts with the building, not the boxes: where the truck can park, how far the carry is, whether there is an elevator or a stair, and which doorways are tight. Your estimator checks all of that during the in-home visit and writes it into the estimate. For the single-family half, the questions are different. A garage, a shed and a hall closet each take a share of cartons, and the estimator counts them room by room. ## What smaller homes mean for packing A 4.9-room home has less floor space than a 6-room house, but it is rarely empty. Smaller homes tend to hold the same dishes, the same books and the same bikes in fewer cupboards, so the cartons are packed tighter. The crew uses small cartons for books and tools, mid-size cartons for kitchen goods and wardrobe cartons for hanging clothes. - Dish-pack cartons for plates and glasses - Picture cartons for mirrors and framed art - Wardrobe cartons that move clothes on hangers - Mattress bags for bedroom sets ## Full pack, partial pack or boxes only A full pack suits a quick move out of an apartment lease. A partial pack suits people who are packing most of it already and want help with the kitchen. Box packing only suits a household that is staging a home for sale.

The office is open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. See [moving boxes and supplies](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/moving-boxes-and-supplies/). Your first 10 heavy-duty boxes are free with the in-home estimate and yours to keep. ## Packing for storage Many apartment moves have a gap between leases. Packed cartons and furniture can sit in wooden vaults in our warehouse until the new place is ready, with vault storage from $40 per month. The vaults are loaded and stacked by the crew, so there is no unit to rent. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html) - [FMCSA, Your Rights and Responsibilities When You 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 - [Movers in North Carson City (89706)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/north-carson-city/) - [Packing services in Carson City](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/carson-city/packing/) - [Partial packing and box-packing-only service](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/partial-packing/) - [Moving boxes and packing supplies at our Sparks counter](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/moving-boxes-and-supplies/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Packing services in West Carson City (89703)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/west-carson-city/packing/) - [Packing services in Minden](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/minden/packing/) - [Packing services in Gardnerville](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/gardnerville/packing/) - [Packing services in Gardnerville Ranchos](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/gardnerville-ranchos/packing/) - [Packing services in Genoa](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/genoa/packing/) - [Packing services in Johnson Lane](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/johnson-lane/packing/) - [Movers in North Carson City (89706)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/north-carson-city/) In North Carson City ## More services in North Carson City - [Storage for North Carson City (89706) households](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/north-carson-city/storage/) - [Senior moves and downsizing in North Carson City (89706)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/north-carson-city/senior-moving/) Answers ## Packing services in North Carson City (89706) questions Still have a question?

A smaller home usually takes the crew less time. Your estimator itemizes the packing on the written estimate after seeing the rooms. ### Can you pack an apartment with an elevator? Yes. The estimator notes the elevator, the carry distance and the parking, and plans the pack and the load around them. ### Is 89706 the same as all of Carson City? No. 89706 is the north side.
