Data: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates.
Fernley, on I-80 east of Reno, has about 24,200 residents and almost 8,800 households. About 28 percent rent and 72 percent own, and the median home was built in 2001, so this is largely a newer community with fewer older residents than most.
With a median age near 36, a senior move in Fernley is often part of a family decision: a grandparent joining a household, or one moving to be closer to children. About 16 percent of residents moved in the past year. The crew works with the family on what goes where.
Fernley is about 39 miles from the Sparks warehouse, roughly 63 minutes via I-80 and US 50 Alternate. The distance matters, so the estimator builds in time for travel. Vault storage in Sparks is a short trip back on I-80.
A 2001 home typically has a planned layout and a two-car garage. Moves from such homes are often smooth because rooms are open and floors are level. Packing is still the largest task.
When a parent moves in with family, a bedroom must hold what used to fill a house. Our downsizing guide and inventory builder help decide what comes along.
Fernley has about 8,800 households, and the median home value is about $366,700. A senior who owns there may have equity to put toward a smaller place or a care community, and a senior who rents may be changing apartments. About 28 percent of homes are rented.
When a parent moves in with a son or daughter, space is the main limit. The crew can pack and move a bedroom's worth of belongings, label every box by room, and place furniture where the family wants it. Items that do not fit can ride to a vault in Sparks. See packing services.
Put medicines, insurance cards, wills, deeds and account papers in a bag that stays with a family member, not on the truck. After the move, the USPS Mover's Guide handles the change of address, and the family can update the rest.
Older movers sometimes need a calm, uncluttered path through the day. Let the crew lead know about walkers, oxygen equipment or hearing needs, and they will keep the walkway clear and explain each step before it happens.

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!
