Reno is a city of about 273,000 people and 114,000 households, and the Census count of renters is almost exactly even with owners. That balance shapes storage more than any other number on this page. Owners store during a sale, a remodel or a downsizing. Renters store when a lease ends before the next place is ready, when a roommate situation changes, or when a new apartment is smaller than the old one. Both groups meet the same problem: a full household and nowhere to put it for a few weeks. ## What a 50-50 city means for storage A city split evenly between renters and owners produces storage needs in two rhythms at once. Renter moves bunch around lease ends, so the first and last days of a month and the summer weeks fill up with households looking for a gap between addresses. Owner moves follow closings, and closings slip. A buyer who expects keys on a Friday may be waiting another week, and the furniture still has to go somewhere. Because the warehouse is a short drive from Reno, a crew can load a home in the morning and have the vaults stacked in Sparks before the afternoon is over. Nothing sits in a driveway or a rented garage while plans settle. ## How the vaults work for a Reno household O'Brien's uses full-service [vault storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/vault-storage/). The crew wraps and packs your things, loads them into wooden vaults that measure 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, and a forklift stacks the closed vaults in the 30,000 sq ft warehouse at 2277 Glendale Ave. There is no unit to rent, no lock to buy and no box to carry in yourself. An inventory lists what went into the vaults, so a household that stores half its belongings can see exactly what is where. When you are ready, the vaults come out and go back on a truck to the new address. ## Common reasons Reno households call - A lease ends before the next apartment or house is ready - A home sale closes earlier than the purchase - Furniture has to leave the house while floors, paint or a kitchen are redone - A move to a smaller place leaves too much furniture for the new rooms - A job change starts months before the family relocates ## Planning the timing Stored goods are ready to ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice, so call when the delivery date begins to take shape rather than the week before. The [storage vault sizer](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/storage-vault-sizer/) gives a first count of vaults, and the estimator confirms it at your [free in-home estimate](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/free-estimate/). That visit includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes, yours to keep. For households still choosing between options, [vault storage compared with self storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/vault-storage-vs-self-storage/) explains how the two kinds of storage differ, and [storage between homes](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-between-moves/) covers the short gap between two homes. ### 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) - [eCFR, 49 CFR Part 375, Transportation of Household Goods in Interstate Commerce](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-III/subchapter-B/part-375) ### Vault storage in Sparks Wooden vaults, 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft each, in our 30,000 sq ft warehouse.

Call [775-359-6683](tel:+17753596683), Mon-Fri 8-5, or see the [moving FAQ](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/faq/). ### How far is the warehouse from Reno? The Sparks warehouse is about 6.3 miles and 11 minutes by road from central Reno, according to Census place coordinates and OSRM routing. Most Reno addresses are within that range or a little beyond it. ### Can I store just part of my household? Yes. Many Reno customers store only the furniture that does not fit the next place, and the estimator lists exactly what goes into the vaults and what rides straight to the new address. ### Is storage available for a short gap only? Storage runs from a few weeks to years in the same vaults. See [long-term storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/long-term-storage/) if the gap may stretch. ## 4.3 stars from 71 Google reviews What customers say about O'Brien's [Read more reviews](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/reviews/)[See them on Google](https://maps.google.com/maps?cid=17335326057105140938) M Mark S.
