Sun Valley sits just north of Sparks and Reno. The Census shows about 22,200 people, 6,900 households, 75.5 percent owner-occupied, with a median home built around 1990 and a median value near $349,100. With so few residents moving each year, households carry decades of belongings. When change comes, whether a sale, a death in the family or a move to a care community, the first job is sorting. ## Low turnover, deep closets A neighborhood where 6.3 percent move each year is a neighborhood of long tenure. Garages and sheds hold furniture from earlier stages of a family's life, and decisions about what to keep take time. Storage buys that time. Vaults hold the undecided: the dining set that may suit the next home, the bedroom furniture waiting on a decision. ## Close to the warehouse The Census point is 6.7 miles and about 13 minutes from 2277 Glendale Ave, a short trip. The crew packs and loads wooden vaults of 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, closes them and stacks them in the 30,000 sq ft warehouse by forklift. Because the distance is small, there is room to take storage in stages: a first load now, a second after the sorting is done. ## Sun Valley storage cases - Clearing a home after a long tenure before listing it - Moving to a smaller place and keeping some furniture for later - Making space during a remodel - Holding belongings during a transition to senior living ## Planning the stages See [estate and downsizing storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/estate-and-downsizing-storage/) for how families work through a long-held house, and [long-term storage tips](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/long-term-storage-tips/) for what to expect over many months. The [free in-home estimate](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/free-estimate/) includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes. Stored goods ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice. ## Going through a lifetime of belongings Families sorting a long-held house often make three piles: keep, sell or donate, and decide later. The third pile is the one that goes into vaults. Because the crew lists what goes in, the decision can wait without anything being lost, and relatives who live elsewhere can review the inventory before the vaults are opened. ### 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) - [eCFR, 49 CFR Part 375, Transportation of Household Goods in Interstate Commerce](https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-III/subchapter-B/part-375) ### Vault storage in Sparks Wooden vaults, 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft each, in our 30,000 sq ft warehouse.

February 20, 2026 We were referred to O'Brien's Moving and Storage though a friend in Reno. We couldn't be more pleased with the Professionalism and Service. They were quick to set up Luke to come out and give us a quote and scheduled the actual move date right away. Luke was on time for our quote as were the movers on our moving day. All three of the gentlemen who moved us were professional and courteous from start to finish. From the initial phone call to the completion of our move, we felt like we were treated as family. We would definitely use them again and recommend O'Brien's Moving and Storage to our friends in the future. ### Owner's reply Francie, Thank you for this amazing review. The result you have expressed is exactly what we all strive to accomplish. I love that you walked away knowing you are now a part of the O'Brien's family, whenever you need us we are a phone call away! I will let the movers know about the kind words expressed about them, that will be very satisfying for all of them. We will look forward to any referrals you send our way, thank you for the opportunity! M Mark S. January 22, 2026 Great company and local. They take great care of your moving needs. They are very accommodating and quick to respond. Highly recommend them for your moving needs and storage needs. Thanks to the O'Brien team for doing a fantastic job. G Greg S. January 22, 2025 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. ### Owner's reply Thanks for the great review Greg!
