Virginia City is only about 24 miles and 37 minutes from the Sparks warehouse, though the climb to about 6,100 feet makes the road its own consideration. Vault storage from $40 per month holds the furniture of long-held homes.

Virginia City is a historic mining town of about 640 people in roughly 340 households in Storey County. The Census estimate shows almost no recent movers, which fits a town where families keep houses for generations and where a move often means sorting a lifetime of belongings.
The Census counts about 0.3 percent of residents as having moved in the past year, a very low figure. When a house has been in a family for decades, a move brings a great deal of furniture, glassware and papers.
Storage allows a family to remove the contents room by room while deciding what stays in the family.
Older houses can limit where a truck parks. The estimator looks at street, stairs and doors during the free visit so the crew arrives with the right plan.
Antiques and fine furniture are wrapped with care and loaded into wooden vaults, each 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft.
The warehouse is about 24 miles away, but Virginia City sits at about 6,107 feet, well above the Sparks warehouse, so winter weather can affect the drive in a way a short mileage does not suggest. Check NV Roads and the National Weather Service Reno forecast before packing day.
Many Virginia City moves follow a death in the family or a retirement. Storage buys time without forcing quick decisions. The estate and downsizing storage page explains how it works.
Stored goods ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice, and vault storage starts at $40 per month.
Estimators visit Virginia City as part of the Storey County service area. The estimate is free, with no obligation, and comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes.
Historic houses have historic furniture. Heavy cabinets, glass fronts and fragile pieces get padded wrapping and a plan for the doorway before anyone lifts them. The estimator notes which items need extra hands.
Document anything of special value during the visit, so the inventory and condition report before packing reflects it.

What customers say about O'Brien's
Janet M.
I was so impressed with the way the crew handled and packed each piece of furniture for short term storage. They were polite and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a move.

Francie H.
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.
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!
