Packing services in Sun Valley

Sun Valley is a community north of Sparks and Reno, along SR 443, with 6,922 households in the Census estimates for 2020-2024. About 75 percent of households own their homes, and the median home value of about $349,100 is one of the lowest among the neighborhoods we list. It is about 7 miles and 13 minutes from our yard in Sparks.

A mix of home types

With 43.5 percent of homes single-family detached, the rest of Sun Valley housing is attached units, small buildings and other home types such as duplexes. That variety shows in the packing plan. A small attached home has limited closets, a house has a garage, and an apartment has stairs. The estimator asks about all of these during the in-home visit.

The three-bedroom center

About 4,000 Sun Valley homes have three bedrooms, about 1,700 have two and about 1,200 have four. At a median of 5.5 rooms, the typical household has a kitchen, a living area, three bedrooms and a yard. Most packs are a day or two, with the kitchen first and the garage or shed last.

Yards, sheds and outdoor items

Many homes in Sun Valley have yard space, and with it come sheds, tools, grills and outdoor furniture. Those items are bundled or boxed the way the estimate lists them, and anything awkward such as a trampoline or a swing set should be mentioned at the visit.

A local move that stays close

Sun Valley is near both Reno and Sparks, and many Sun Valley moves stay within the Truckee Meadows. For those, the crew can pack and load on the same day. See local moving for what the day looks like.
