Fernley is a city of about 24,200 people in roughly 8,800 households, the largest community in Lyon County. About 28 percent of households rent, and the city sits at about 4,535 feet on the Interstate 80 corridor east of Reno and Sparks.

Turnover on the I-80 corridor

Fernley draws people who work in the Reno area, in distribution and in the industrial parks nearby. That mix brings frequent moves, with the Census showing more than one in seven residents having moved in the past year.

Frequent moves mean frequent gaps. Storage gives families flexibility when a closing date and a move-in date do not match.

Renters and buyers

With roughly 28 percent of households renting, Fernley has a real rental market alongside a large base of owners. A renter who is about to buy might store furniture for several weeks. An owner who is selling may stage with half the furniture and store the rest.

The drive to Sparks

The Sparks warehouse is about 39 miles and 63 minutes from Fernley, a drive that can run longer in heavy truck traffic or weather on the interstate. Check NV Roads before a packing day.

The crew loads at your home and takes the vaults to the warehouse in one trip.

How storage is priced and scheduled

Vault storage starts at $40 per month. Each wooden vault is 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft. Stored goods ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice.

Your estimator sets the packing day, and the office confirms your delivery date when you are ready.

Stagings, showings and a short stay

A listing photographs better with fewer chairs and tables. Many Fernley owners put the extra furniture into vaults the week before the first showing and collect it after closing.

The same approach works for a rental being repainted or a floor being replaced. The vaults hold the furniture while the work happens, and the crew returns it when the room is ready.

3 O'Brien movers came down from Reno to South Lake Tahoe to assist our company moving a lot of big furniture out of a large warehouse. They showed up on-time, were friendly, and were professional and got the job done quickly and diligently. Will definitely use them again.
