## Silver Springs: Age and time in the home

- Median age 56.4
- Householders in their home since before 2020 86.5%
- Homes owned 84.8%
- Median year built 1993

Data: [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html).

Silver Springs in Lyon County has about 5,100 residents and 2,300 households. The median home was built in 1993 and the median home value is about $244,400, modest for the region.

## Older owners, modest homes

Many Silver Springs households have held their homes for years. Only about 10 percent of residents moved in the past year, and about 15 percent of homes are rented. The median value of about $244,400 means many owners are weighing a move against its cost; a clear, itemized estimate helps.

## The route

The drive from the warehouse is about 44 miles and 67 minutes via SR 439, I-80 and US 95A. Rural roads and lots may call for a smaller truck. The estimator checks that at the visit.

## Packing a workshop and a garage

Rural lots often have sheds and shops. Tell the estimator, and the crew packs and loads those. Equipment may need a separate plan.

## Choosing storage

Part of the household can wait in storage. About 2 to 3 weeks notice ships it. See [estate and downsizing storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/estate-and-downsizing-storage/).

## Planning a full-day job

Silver Springs is far enough from Sparks that the crew plans a full day. A larger home may take longer, and the estimator tells you how many movers and what size of truck the job needs. Delivery windows come from your written estimate.

## What the numbers mean for sorting

With 85 percent ownership, a median home built in 1993 and a low turnover rate, many Silver Springs houses hold a long-settled household. Owners often find that the garage and a shed have more contents than the house itself. Starting there is a good first step.

## Care communities and apartments

Seniors leaving Silver Springs often go to Fernley, Dayton, Carson City or Reno, where services are close. Ask the destination for its move-in rules, and give them to the estimator. See [moving a parent to assisted living](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-a-parent-to-assisted-living/).

## Use the written estimate as a family document

The estimate lists rooms and items. Many families put it on the table and tick off each decision: keep, give, store, donate. It also makes a good record for relatives who live elsewhere.

## Water, wells and utilities

Rural homes can have wells and propane tanks. Those stay with the house, but the estimator asks about them to make sure the crew does not load anything that belongs to the property. When a house sells, coordinate the final utility readings with the closing agent.

## Call

The number is 775-359-6683, weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm.

Extremely happy with the moving experience. The moving team showed up on time, friendly and polite. They did a wonderful job moving our boxes and furniture to the new location. We moved a three bedroom home and I could not be more pleased with the employees who assisted with the move. Highly recommend O'Brien moving for your move.

### Owner's reply

Michelle, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We are so happy to hear about the move experience you had with our company and glad to know we met your expectations! It means a lot to us to know that. Thank you for choosing us as your moving partner.

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!!!
