Tonopah is the high-desert mining town on US 95 in Nye County, and the numbers above set it apart: a very low median home value, a median age of 61 and a large share of recent out-of-state arrivals, about 11 percent. The distance and the elevation shape every Tonopah move. ## Who is moving in Tonopah Median age is 61 and about 63 percent of households own. A median rent of $843 and a median home value of $143,900 make Tonopah one of the most affordable markets in the service area, which can draw buyers from other states; 11 percent of residents had moved in from another state in the past year. Many of these moves are inbound, and the pages on [moving to the Reno area](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/) explain how O'Brien's coordinates a move from another state. About 39 percent of homes are single-family detached, so the mix includes manufactured homes and small rentals. ## US 95 south The route runs from Sparks through Fernley and the Silver Springs area, then US 95A and US 95 south, about 229 miles. The Census-geocoded time is 280 minutes in free flow, and services along the way are thin, so a crew plans fuel, rest and weather stops. Check Nevada 511 before departure. A Tonopah to Sparks move is inside Nevada, under O'Brien's Nevada authority. For moves to other states, see [long-distance moving from Tonopah](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/tonopah/long-distance/). ## Elevation and the desert climate Tonopah sits at about 6,126 feet. Summers are hot by day and cool at night, winters bring frost and occasional snow, and wind is steady. Pets and houseplants benefit from the advice in [moving to high altitude](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/moving-to-high-altitude/). ## Planning a long-haul small-town move Because the trip is long, pack before the crew arrives, label by room and keep valuables with you. The estimator's itemized inventory and condition report record what leaves, and the 10 free heavy-duty boxes help you start. Vault storage in Sparks from $40 per month can hold goods between homes. ## Packing for a remote address With few stores on the route, pick up boxes, wrap and tape at the Sparks office before the move, and check the [how many boxes do I need](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/guides/how-many-boxes-do-i-need/) guide. The office carries regular and specialty boxes, and the free estimate adds 10 free heavy-duty boxes. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html) - [Nye County, Nevada](https://www.nyecountynv.gov/) - [Nevada 511 road conditions (NDOT)](https://www.nvroads.com/) ### 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 - [Elko, Winnemucca and rural Nevada](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/rural-nevada/) - [Long-distance moving from Tonopah](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/tonopah/long-distance/) - [Moving to Reno and Sparks: the complete guide](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/moving-to-reno/) - [Full-service vault storage in Sparks](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/) ## Services in Tonopah 1 - [### Long-distance moving from Tonopah](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/tonopah/long-distance/) Nearby ## Other towns in this area - [Movers in Lovelock](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/lovelock/) - [Movers in Winnemucca](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/winnemucca/) - [Movers in Elko](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/elko/) - [Movers in Reno](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/reno/) - [Movers in Sparks](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/sparks/) - [Movers in Downtown and Midtown Reno (89501)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/downtown-midtown-reno/) - [Movers in Old Southwest Reno (89509)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/old-southwest-reno/) - [Movers in Caughlin Ranch (89519)](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/caughlin-ranch/) - [Elko, Winnemucca and rural Nevada](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/rural-nevada/) Answers ## Movers in Tonopah questions Still have a question?
