Bend sits at 3,637 feet on the east side of the Cascades, so the altitude will feel familiar to a Reno household. The cost of the house is what changes. This page covers the Bend end of the trip, starting with housing, then the weather, the Oregon deadlines and the plan for the truck from Sparks.
The city of Bend shows a median home value of $718,400, median gross rent of $1,883 and a median household income of $96,394. The Bend metro, which is Deschutes County, lists medians of $602,600 for a home and $1,697 for rent. Reno's metro medians are $502,300 and $1,592.
Because homes cost more, many households arrive with a smaller footprint than they left. About 38.3 percent of Bend households rent. A free in-home estimate at your Reno home is a good time to decide which furniture goes, which goes to storage and which is sold.
NOAA's nearest normals station is Redmond airport, 16.1 miles from Bend. It lists a January high of 44.2 degrees and low of 25.3, a July high of 87.5 and a low of 48.5, and 8.46 inches of precipitation a year. Reno's numbers are 47.7 and 26.1 in January, with 7.35 inches of precipitation. Summers are cooler in Bend, and winter lows run about the same.
Check ODOT's TripCheck for road conditions before a winter delivery, and tell your estimator about a steep or icy driveway.
Under Oregon's New to Oregon page, you have 30 days after establishing residency to register your vehicles and to replace your out-of-state license. Plan both visits for the first weeks.
Oregon has no general sales tax, so new furniture and appliances carry only the shelf price. The state does tax income, with 2026 withholding brackets topping out at 9.9 percent above $125,000 for a single filer. Nevada has no individual income tax, so ask a tax professional how to handle the year you move.
You book with O'Brien's. Our estimator sees your Reno or Sparks home, the estimate is written and itemized, and 10 free heavy-duty boxes come with the visit. The shipment is coordinated through the Bekins network; your written estimate sets the delivery window. The interstate move guide shows each step.
The route data lists about 389 miles on roads that include US 97. If your Bend closing and your Reno closing do not line up, vault storage from $40 per month holds the household in Sparks until both are ready.
