What to know about moving in Reno

Your Reno move could cost you less than a hundred dollars, or it could cost upwards of $20k. So how do you account for such a wide range of prices? Ultimately, the cost of your move depends on the moving services you choose, the time of year, how far you’re going, etc.

If you’re seeking convenience, a full-service move is the way to go; it’s also the most pricey. This type of move costs $1,200–$29,000,1 based on national averages. And if affordability is your priority? You’ll want to go with a moving van rental, which costs $120–$4,000. If you want the convenience of storage space and a more flexible moving schedule, opt for a moving and storage container, which costs $850–$12,000.

Storage units in Reno cost an average of $116.89,2 but this price varies depending on the size of the unit and the time of year. Prices tend to be higher in November and lowest in May. A 5x5 storage unit costs an average of $72.81, while a 10x15 unit costs an average of $151.07.

Reno has a lot to offer, including a close proximity to the mountains, highly rated schools, short commute times, and low unemployment rates.3 Residents enjoy a relatively low cost of living, especially in comparison to the many city amenities of the area. It’s a great place for outdoor lovers, families, and college students alike. Another perk: Reno doesn’t have personal income tax or corporate tax.

Reno has many safe, highly desirable neighborhoods.4 Stead has a suburban feel, plenty of green spaces, and minutes from the Reno-Stead Airport. Virginia Lake is just three miles from Downtown Reno and known for stunning Virginia Lake Park. Likewise, suburban Kings Row is close to downtown, West University, Northwest Park, and more.
