# Storage for Truckee households

About 48 percent of Truckee's housing units are seasonal or occasional-use homes, so storage here often means furniture from a second home. O'Brien's wooden vaults in Sparks, about 36 miles away, start at $40 per month.

## Truckee: Movers and renters

- Drive to our vault warehouse 36 mi, about 48 min
- Households renting 26.6%
- Moved in the past year 10.6%
- Seasonal or second homes 47.9%

Data: [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates](https://www.census.gov/data/developers/data-sets/acs-5year.html); [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data, free-flow drive from 2277 Glendale Ave, Sparks](https://project-osrm.org/).

Truckee is a mountain town of about 17,100 people in roughly 6,900 households at about 6,655 feet, in Nevada County, California. About 27 percent of households rent, and the town has a large base of second homes alongside year-round residents.

## Nearly half the homes are part-time

The Census counts about 47.9 percent of Truckee's housing units as seasonal, recreational or occasional-use. That is a very large share for a town this size, and it shapes how storage gets used.

Owners refresh, rent out and sell second homes often. Furniture that moves out of those homes needs a dry place to wait.

## A short run down Interstate 80

The warehouse is about 36 miles and 48 minutes from Truckee, among the shorter drives to a Tahoe-area town. The route follows the interstate, which can see chain controls in winter, so check the Caltrans QuickMap and NV Roads before a packing day.

A crew can load in town and unload at the warehouse in one trip.

## Moves to and from the Reno area

Many Truckee households have ties on both sides of the state line. A family might store furniture in Sparks while it relocates from Truckee to the Reno area, or while a second home is rented out.

The [Lake Tahoe and Truckee](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/areas/lake-tahoe-and-truckee/) page covers the wider service area.

## Vaults and delivery

The wooden vaults measure 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft, and a forklift stacks them in the warehouse. Vault storage starts at $40 per month. Stored goods ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice, and delivery goes to the address you name.

## What Truckee customers store

- Furniture from a second home being sold or rented
- Goods during a remodel
- Items for a relocation to the Reno area
- Pieces from an estate

## Free estimate

The in-home estimate is free, with 10 free heavy-duty boxes to keep. Read [seasonal and second-home storage](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/full-service-storage/seasonal-and-second-home-storage/) or use the [vault sizer](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/tools/storage-vault-sizer/).

## Planning for the winter calendar

Truckee winters are long, and snow on the pass changes the calendar for any move. The best packing weeks tend to be late spring, summer and early fall, but a lease or a closing may not wait.

If your date falls in winter, tell the estimator early. The office can plan a crew and a back-up day around the Caltrans and NWS information available for that week.

Moves within California

## Permitted in California

O'Brien's Moving & Storage moves households within California under its own authority: Cal PUC T-90973 (as published by O'Brien's). A move between Nevada and California crosses a state line, so it is an interstate move under our federal authority (U.S. DOT No. 30611, MC-109375) instead.

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! We really appreciate you taking the time to do that for us. We look forward to working with you again!
