San Antonio city has about 1.48 million residents and the San Antonio-New Braunfels metro area about 2.66 million. The Census counts about 140 people a year moving from Bexar, Comal and Guadalupe Counties to Washoe County (2016 to 2020 estimates), and people also make the trip the other way. Housing costs are the first thing to compare. ## The drive: 1,698 miles, mostly I-10 San Antonio is about 1,698 miles from our Sparks warehouse by road. The straight-line distance is 1,390 miles, so the highways add about 308 miles. Free-flow driving is 30 h 42 min, which the planner turns into four road days at 500 miles a day. This is a road figure, not a delivery promise, and your written estimate sets the delivery window. This route is built around one road. I-10 supplies 986 miles, more than half the trip. US 95 supplies 272 miles, US 93 supplies 175 miles and I-11 supplies 42 miles, and those four roads cover 1,475 of the 1,698 miles. One long interstate comes first, then the roads into Nevada. ## Elevation and weather along the way San Antonio sits at about 722 feet and Reno at 4,930 feet. The routing tool lists no named mountain pass on the route, so the climb is gradual. San Antonio sees about 32 inches of rain a year and almost no snow (0.2 inches). Reno sees about 21 inches of snow. A Texas winter move can leave in shirtsleeves and arrive to a frost, so keep coats and boots in the car instead of on the truck. Check the NDOT road conditions site for Nevada and DriveTexas for the Texas end. ## Reading the road numbers Split into 500-mile days, the 1,698 miles are three full days and a fourth day of about 198 miles. Free-flow driving of 30 h 42 min over 1,698 miles implies a pace of about 55 miles per hour with no stops, traffic or weather counted. The figure describes the road and not the delivery. I-10 is about 58 percent of the distance, the highest share of any of the five Texas routes. If you follow the truck in your own vehicle, that makes the first two days easy to plan around one road, and the 272 miles of US 95 at the Nevada end deserve a full tank. ## What changes when you arrive San Antonio city's median rent is $1,324 and its median home value is $235,700. In Reno city the median rent is $1,556 and the median home value is $548,300. The median household income is $65,056 in San Antonio and $80,760 in Reno. The table above prints both ends of the move. Summer feels different. San Antonio's July low is near 74.7 degrees, while Reno's is near 60.4. Reno's dry air and cool nights make evenings comfortable even in the hottest month. ## How the move works with O'Brien's On a move from San Antonio, you book the move with O'Brien's, the Bekins agent in Sparks, and we coordinate it from your San Antonio home through the Bekins Van Lines network, then handle delivery, unpacking and storage in Sparks. Your written estimate sets the delivery window. A long-distance estimate is itemized and in writing and priced by weight. You also receive an itemized inventory and condition report before packing. ## Getting settled in Reno New Nevada residents have 30 days to register a vehicle and get a driver's license.

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.

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.
