About 6.4 percent of Minden residents arrived from another state in the past year, roughly 237 people, one of the highest shares in the Carson Valley. O'Brien's runs the estimate, packing and loading for a Minden move out of state, with the Bekins network carrying the shipment.

Data: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates.
Minden is a small town of about 3,700 people, and a share of 6.4 percent means newcomers are easy to spot. Many came for the valley floor, the Sierra backdrop and the open space, then a job, a school or a parent elsewhere pulled the family on. In a town this size a long-distance move is a visible event, and a few clear steps keep it calm.
The Census Bureau counts about 237 people in Minden who lived in another state a year earlier. Against a population near 3,700, that share is more than that of Carson City or Reno. Minden is the Douglas County seat, and about 74 percent of Minden homes are owner occupied, which tells you many arrivals bought rather than rented.
An owner who bought a few years ago and is now moving on holds a full house: furniture bought for the larger space, garage gear, and sometimes a shop. That is the typical Minden estimate.
An O'Brien's estimator drives about 47 miles from Sparks to Minden via I-580 and US 395 for the free, no-obligation visit. The estimator walks the house and outbuildings, lists the contents, and writes an itemized written estimate. The visit comes with 10 free heavy-duty boxes, yours to keep.
O'Brien's has been a Bekins Van Lines agent since 1955. Read about the Bekins relationship before you book.
For a move into the valley, you book with O'Brien's and we coordinate the move from your origin through the Bekins network. The shipment is delivered to your Minden address, and the crew unpacks it. If your home is not ready, wooden vaults hold the load in our Sparks warehouse, with vault storage from $40 per month.

I was so satisfied and impressed with O'Brien. My move went perfectly. If I have another move, it will be O'Brien for sure!!

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!
