Data: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates.

Cold Springs sits in a valley northwest of Reno, about 5,100 feet above sea level, with 3,618 households in the Census estimates for 2020-2024. The median home was built in 2004 and about 92 percent of homes are owner-occupied. It is about 19 miles and 27 minutes from our yard in Sparks, 16 of those miles on I-580.

Three bedrooms and a lot of space

About 2,200 Cold Springs homes have three bedrooms, about 740 have four, and about 400 have five or more. With a median of 6.1 rooms, the standard job is a three- or four-bedroom house with a family room, a loft or bonus room, and a garage. A pack for a house of that size is planned in stages across a day or two.

Younger families, more equipment

A newer subdivision tends to have households with children, and the contents show it: playsets, bikes, sports gear and furniture that was bought for a growing family. Bulky items are bundled or wrapped, small things go into labeled cartons, and the crew keeps toys and bedding for the first night in their own box.

The drive shapes the day

At 27 minutes from the yard, a Cold Springs job is among the longer local runs in the Truckee Meadows. The crew packs the day before, if it can, so loading starts on time and the truck is not waiting on the last box. If your closing date moves, the cartons can wait in vaults at the warehouse; see storage when your new home is not ready.

Winter in the valley

Cold Springs gets frost and snow, and a driveway can be icy on a winter morning. Tell the estimator if your street is steep or shaded, and ask the crew about spreading the load across a second day if conditions turn.

What customers say about O'Brien's

Sonia P.

Talk about organized people. I peeked in the truck about an hour into the job and was amazed at how well organized it was and how many of my things had protective coverings. Our bed is a mechanical one and a nightmare to us, but these guys had no issue with it at all. Although I have no desire to ever move again--but if I did, I would be calling these guys for sure!!!

Robert B.
