Movers in Spanish Springs

Spanish Springs sits north of Sparks in its own valley, and the Census figures for the area show a place built for families who own their homes: median household income near $128,000, a median age of nearly 46 and a median home value around $624,000. Over half of the homes were built since 2000. It is also one of the longer drives from our yard, which is why this page spends time on the road.

One valley, one highway

The Pyramid Highway, State Route 445, is the road into Spanish Springs, and the crew drives about 10 of the 14.7 miles on it. At 28 minutes, the trip is the longest of any Sparks neighborhood, so we plan it as part of the job rather than a footnote. Loads are sequenced so the truck leaves full. If you plan to store goods, ask about timing: the warehouse is half an hour away, and the crew can load a vault the same afternoon.

Commute traffic goes the other way in the morning and toward Spanish Springs in the evening. The crew leader plans around it.

Houses with land, garages and yards

Almost 95 percent of homes here are detached houses, and the median year built is 2002. Many sit on larger lots than in Sparks proper, and some have workshops, sheds, boats and trailers. Those belongings are part of the estimate. Show the estimator the outbuildings and the side yard, since they decide whether the crew needs a second truck.

Quiet turnover, long ownership

Only about 7 percent of residents moved in the past year, and about 18 percent of householders moved in during 2020 or later. People tend to stay in this valley. When they do move, the load tends to be large, so we recommend full packing or a mix of partial packing and your own boxes.

Winter in the valley

At 4,735 feet Spanish Springs is only about 300 feet above the warehouse, but the highway through the valley is exposed. On a snowy day the crew checks NVRoads, adds floor runners and may delay the start. If you can, clear the driveway edge so the truck can pull in.

Long-distance and storage from the north valley

A household moving out of the area often combines services. Vault storage in Sparks is from $40 per month; see storage for Spanish Springs. For a move to another state, see long-distance moving from Spanish Springs and senior moves.
