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

Spanish Springs lies north-east of Sparks, off SR 445, in a wide valley of houses on larger lots. Census estimates count 6,685 households, nearly 92 percent of them owners, and a median build year of 2002. The yard on Glendale Ave is about 15 miles and 28 minutes away.

## Nearly all houses

In most of the Truckee Meadows, houses and apartments share the same blocks. In Spanish Springs, 94.9 percent of homes are single-family detached, and fewer than 500 homes have two bedrooms or fewer. About 3,600 have three bedrooms, about 2,250 have four, and more than 630 have five or more. These are family houses with space, and they come with a lot of belongings.

## Garages, sheds and outbuildings

Larger lots often have a shop, a shed, a horse trailer or equipment stored outdoors. Those items are separate from the household pack, and the estimator lists them so the crew arrives with the right gear. Anything with an engine should have fuel and fluids handled by the owner, a point your estimator will go over.

## A low move rate and long tenure

The Census estimates show that only 7 percent of residents moved in the past year, compared with 18 percent in Reno. Households that stay put for years collect things: furniture in every room, the garage full, the attic full. A packing crew who allows for that collection avoids a surprise on moving day. Tell the estimator how long you have lived in the house.

## The drive and the schedule

At about 28 minutes from the yard, a Spanish Springs job is planned as a full day. The crew packs the day before loading where possible, so the truck leaves with a complete load. If part of the household goes to storage, the vaults are 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft in our Sparks warehouse; see [vault storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/vault-storage/).

## Packing levels for larger homes

- Full pack of every room and the garage
- Kitchen, dining room and pictures only
- Box packing only ahead of a long-distance move
- Packing into your own boxes, listed on the estimate

The crew worked extremely hard and treated our belongings with care. Customer service was outstanding leading up to, during, and after move. Thank you!

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!!!
