Storage for Verdi households

Verdi sits at the Nevada edge of the Truckee River canyon, with about 1,000 residents in 527 households. The Census puts the median home at around 1986 and its value near $661,000, and 89 percent of homes are owned. A town this small and settled has a different relationship to moving than the cities downstream: residents stay for decades, and a move is a rare, deliberate project.

Slow turnover in Verdi

At 0.6 percent, Verdi's mover rate is very low. That means very few homes change hands in a year, and when one does, the buyer and seller both have time to plan. Storage fits that pace: a few weeks for staging, a few months for a purchase or a remodel.

Households in a town this size benefit from a crew that comes to the door and takes care of the whole haul.

From the canyon to Glendale Ave

The Census point is 12.7 miles and about 18 minutes from the warehouse at 2277 Glendale Ave. The crew picks up at the door, wraps and loads, and stacks closed wooden vaults of 7 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft by forklift in a 30,000 sq ft building.

Each vault is listed on an inventory so the household can say exactly where an item is.

Why Verdi owners store

• Preparing a long-held home for sale
• Moving to a smaller place or into care
• A remodel on a property with limited extra space
• A relocation out of the state with a later delivery date

Getting started

Read long-term storage tips if the stay may be long, and storage while you sell if you are listing. The free in-home estimate includes 10 free heavy-duty boxes. Stored goods ship with about 2 to 3 weeks notice.

Neighbors and access

Some Verdi addresses sit on narrow lanes. The estimator checks the approach during the visit, including where the truck can park and how far the crew will carry. Quiet planning ahead of the day keeps the load moving and the neighbors undisturbed.

Delivery back to Verdi or elsewhere

When the stay ends, the vaults go back on a truck to wherever you choose: the same Verdi address, a new home in the valley or another state through the Bekins network. Say so at the estimate and the delivery plan is written in from the start.
