Southeast Reno stretches from Hidden Valley to the airport and supports one of the area's larger renter populations. The Census shows nearly 46,700 people in 19,300 households, a median home built around 1977, and a median value near $413,200. Renters outnumber owners almost two to one. In neighborhoods like this, storage works as a cushion for the calendar: the lease on the old apartment ends on a fixed day, and the new one begins on another.

Where renter share meets storage

A renter household often has no garage and no spare room, so storage is a choice between a vault and leaving belongings with friends. The vault is a cleaner answer, because the crew packs the household, lists everything on an inventory and keeps it in one place until you are ready.

Many renter moves here are local. A family leaves a two-bedroom near the airport and takes a house in Sparks six weeks later; the vaults bridge the weeks.

A quick trip to Glendale Ave

The Census point for the ZIP is 5.3 miles and about 12 minutes from 2277 Glendale Ave. That short run keeps loading and stacking in a single working day for most households.

Wooden vaults 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft are stacked by forklift in the 30,000 sq ft warehouse. There is no unit number to remember and no lock to bring.

Next steps

Start with the storage vault sizer, then book the free in-home estimate for an itemized estimate and 10 free heavy-duty boxes. Stored goods are ready to ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice.

Storage between homes describes the short-stay pattern, and vault storage compared with self storage explains why many renters choose vaults.

Keeping the cost of a gap in perspective

Households that rent often weigh a storage stay against another month of overlapping rent. The estimator can describe what the vault stay involves so you can compare the two honestly, and the written estimate itemizes the work so nothing is a surprise at the end of the job.

3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again.
