O'Brien's crews pack by room, and 10 free heavy-duty boxes come with the free in-home estimate. 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/) ## South Reno and Damonte Ranch: Homes and rooms - Median rooms per home 6 - Single-family detached homes 73% - Homes by bedrooms no bedroom: 286, 1: 1,247, 2: 2,831, 3: 7,586, 4: 4,798, 5+: 1,034 - Built before 1980 9% Data: [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html). South Reno and Damonte Ranch is one of the newest parts of the Truckee Meadows. Census estimates for this ZIP show 16,848 households, 69 percent owner-occupied, and a median year built of 2007, which is a newer median than most Truckee Meadows neighborhoods. It is about 10 miles and 14 minutes from our yard in Sparks, almost all of it on I-580. ## Three and four bedrooms dominate Of the homes in this ZIP, about 7,600 have three bedrooms and about 4,800 have four, which together outnumber all the smaller homes by a wide margin. A four-bedroom house with a family room, a loft and a three-car garage is a full day of packing for a crew. We schedule it that way, with a start in the kitchen and a finish in the garage. ## Why the 2007 median matters Only 9 percent of homes in this ZIP pre-date 1980, so the houses tend to have large, open rooms and modern closets. The practical effect is volume. There is less to carefully dismantle and more to carry, and the number of cartons rises quickly. Heavy things such as books and tools go in small cartons, and lighter things such as linens and pillows in large ones. ## Home offices and kids' rooms Many South Reno households have a home office, and desks, monitors and files need their own plan. Electronics are packed in their own cartons with padding, and file boxes are labeled so papers come out in order. Children's rooms get packed last and unpacked first, so that bedtime is easy on the first night. ## Keeping a pack organized - Every carton marked with its room and a short list - Items you need on the first night kept apart - An itemized estimate that lists what the crew packs - Large furniture wrapped and padded for the truck ## Storage when the move dates do not line up Many South Reno moves involve a sale and a purchase that close on different days. The cartons can go from the pack straight to a vault in our warehouse, from $40 per month, and come out when the new home is ready; see [storage while you sell your home](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-while-selling-a-home/). ### 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) - [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 - [Professional packing services](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/) - [Full packing service](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/packing/full-packing/) - [Storage while you sell your home](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/storage-while-selling-a-home/) - [Movers in South Reno and Damonte Ranch (89521)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/south-reno-damonte-ranch/) Nearby ## The same service in nearby towns - [Packing services in Galena, Montreux and the Mt.

Your estimator sets the days from what is in the house. A four-bedroom home is usually a one to two day pack. ### Can the crew pack the garage and the shed? Yes. Outdoor structures and the garage are listed on the estimate with the rest of the house. ### What about boxes I already packed? The crew can move your own boxes if they are sturdy and sealed, and the estimate lists them as customer packed. ## 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.
