The Cost of Self Storage in Austin, TX

As the vibrant Texas state capitol, Austin is the site of a thriving tech industry, a hip live music scene and the University of Texas’ main campus with over 50,000 students. The city also earns high rankings in numerous ‘best of’ lists, including the top spot in U.S. News’ list of the best places to live. With its desirability and large student population, however, comes high housing costs and property values that trend well above the national average.

In many areas of the country, storage costs in a city reflect its real estate costs and population density. In an urban city such as Austin where a dense population increases storage demand and high property values make space more expensive, average self-storage costs exceed average costs throughout the rest of the state and the country. Renters in Austin, therefore, can expect to pay anywhere from just over $2-$24 more for a storage unit than the national average.

What to Consider when Looking for Storage in Austin, TX

When selecting a storage unit in any city, it’s important to consider the area’s climate and whether it necessitates a temperature-controlled unit to protect your most valued items. Whether you’re storing clothing, furniture or electronics, exposure to extreme heat and wet weather conditions can cause plastic to melt, damage computer systems and encourage mold or mildew to grow on fabrics. With Austin’s hottest month of August averaging 96-degree highs, renters might want to consider a climate-controlled unit when storing heat-sensitive items during summer months.

Additionally, with Austin’s property crime rate nearly 20% higher than the national average, renters in the city may benefit from selecting a storage facility with high-quality, thorough security measures in place. Systems such as camera surveillance, gates and controlled entryways may help reduce the risk of break-ins and theft.

Helpful Tips for Moving to Austin, TX

Austin’s bustling, growing center offers its residents an active, creative culture and exciting annual events including the annual SXSW music, film and technology festival, Formula 1 races and University of Texas Longhorn football games. As long as employees or students live within city limits and not in the surrounding suburbs such as Round Rock or Georgetown, they can expect average daily commutes of 24.1 minutes, a drive shorter than the nation’s average. Additionally, Austin’s warm, sunny summers make boating on scenic Lake Travis, jogging around the downtown Lady Bird Lake hike and bike trail and swimming in the natural waters of Barton Springs Pool all the more enticing.
