Movers in Wingfield Springs and Northeast Sparks

Northeast Sparks grew faster than almost any part of the valley in the 2000s, and ZIP 89436 shows it: nearly 50,000 people, a median home built in 2004 and fewer than 3 percent of homes older than 1980. It is a place of single-family houses on planned streets, many of them with a three-car garage and room for the whole family's belongings. It is also the part of Sparks where a crew's route matters most.

Big houses on planned streets

About 80 percent of homes here are detached houses, the median value is near $588,000 and the median household income is about $114,000. A household that size usually has a full garage, a patio, children's rooms and an office. The estimator walks the house, the garage and the yard so the itemized price covers all of it, and asks about HOA rules on moving trucks and gate codes before the date is set.

Renters make up about 25 percent of households, mostly in townhomes and apartment complexes along the main roads. Their moves follow the usual apartment planning: stairs, parking and building rules. See apartment and condo moves.

The Pyramid Highway run

From Glendale Avenue the crew uses city streets and then State Route 445, the Pyramid Highway, for about 3 of the 9.8 miles. The full trip takes about 20 minutes, longer in the evening rush, because the highway is the main road for the whole northeast side. That is the main reason we plan the first load for the morning when we can.

Winter on the northeast side

Wingfield sits near 4,902 feet, about 465 feet above the warehouse, and the Pyramid corridor is among the first Sparks routes to see snow. Check NVRoads before a winter move. The crew covers the entryway, carries pieces in shorter trips and may shift the start to later in the morning once the roads are plowed.

A neighborhood of recent arrivals and long stays

About 27 percent of householders moved in during 2020 or later, and about 14 percent of residents moved in the past year. Some are Californians arriving by Bekins truck, and O'Brien's handles the Nevada end. Others are Sparks families moving up to a larger home; for them a vault at the warehouse makes the closing dates easier.

Help with the packing

Large homes take time to pack. Full, partial and box-packing-only service lets you hand off as much as you like, and senior moves and downsizing is there for a household shrinking its footprint.
