Senior moves and downsizing in Fallon

Fallon is the seat of Churchill County, with about 9,500 residents and 3,800 households. About 16 percent of residents moved in the past year.

A young city with older neighbors

A median age of 35.5 means older residents are a minority, and many are renters or live with family. About 49 percent of households rent and about 51 percent own. The median home was built in 1985, so many houses are of an age to hold a lot of gear.

The drive from Sparks

Fallon is about 61 miles from the warehouse, around 77 minutes along I-80 and US 50 Alternate. The estimator plans for that distance and may suggest a weekday crew. Moves that stay in Nevada run under CPCN 1070.

Moving near family

A senior may be joining a child's home or moving to an apartment. The crew can take furniture to either, and stored goods wait in Sparks vaults. Learn more at vault storage.

Navy-connected families

Families with a link to the base may have a military move on a separate track; see NAS Fallon moving.

Rentals and family homes

Nearly half of Fallon households rent, and the median home value is about $282,700. Seniors here include homeowners with long histories in their houses and renters in apartments. In both cases the estimator walks the space and writes down what moves, what stays and what is stored.

Packing choices

Full packing, partial packing and box packing only are available. Many Fallon customers choose partial packing, with the crew wrapping the kitchen, the china and the pictures while the family packs clothing and books. See partial packing and box-packing only.

Distance and scheduling

At about 61 miles and 77 minutes from Glendale Avenue, a Fallon job is planned as a full day. The office at 775-359-6683 helps schedule around appointments, closings and the dates when a care community will take you.

Moving out of the Lahontan Valley

Fallon sits at 3,965 feet in the valley, the lowest elevation of the towns on this page group, so snow rarely adds to the challenge. What does add is distance: seniors leaving Fallon for Reno or Sparks are often moving closer to specialist care and to family. Plan the move so that you arrive before the crew and can approve the placement of the first few pieces.

An afternoon at the new place

At the destination, the crew brings in the beds and the kitchen items first and sets them up. Boxes are stacked in the rooms marked on the label. Unpacking is available if you want it.
