Data (read 2026-10-19): [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html); [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data, free-flow drive from 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks](https://project-osrm.org/); [USGS Elevation Point Query Service](https://apps.nationalmap.gov/epqs/). The North Valleys is Reno's affordable-home territory. ZIP 89506 is the most populous Reno ZIP in our area, with a median age of 36 and a median home value about $138,000 below the city median. Stead, at the north end, grew around the old air base and now includes the airport's industrial neighbors and new subdivisions. This is a place of family homes, two-car garages and commuters who use I-580. ## Family homes, long stays About 71 percent of households own, and the median home was built in 1999. About 12 percent of residents moved in the past year, one of the lowest turnover rates among Reno ZIP codes. People who live here tend to stay, and by the time they move they have collected things: tools in the garage, a shed, a kids' bedroom set, seasonal gear. The estimator counts everything, including the garage and yard, before the itemized price is written. With about 30 percent of homes built before 1980, there are also older ranch-style houses in the mix, usually on larger lots with gravel or sloped driveways. Tell us about the driveway and we plan around it. ## I-580 north from Glendale The drive is 10.2 miles, 9 of them on I-580. The freeway serves the whole North Valleys, so it can be busy at commute hours. We schedule loading to start after the morning rush where we can, and a crew that finishes in Stead reaches the warehouse for a storage drop-off within the same afternoon. ## Higher and windier than Sparks Stead sits near 5,061 feet, about 620 feet above the warehouse, and the open valley floor gets wind. Snow lands earlier here, and gravel driveways can turn to mud in a thaw. The crew lays runners, closes doors between trips and adjusts the load order when weather turns. If you can, move the cars off the street so the truck can park close. ## Offices, trades and storage The area includes small businesses, trades and warehouses. Commercial crews work evenings, weekends and holidays by arrangement.
