The Cost of Self Storage in Durham, NC

Although storage units in North Carolina are generally significantly more affordable than the U.S. average, storage costs in Durham tend to be significantly higher. They exceed both state and national averages by quite a bit.

The difference between Durham and the rest of state may be due in part to higher real estate costs in the city, which make storage facilities more expensive to develop and run. Real estate prices are about average for the United States as a whole but are expensive by North Carolina standards. In addition, Durham is home to Duke University and North Carolina Central University, both of which have large student populations. College students have more frequent storage needs than many other demographics, which tends to drive up prices due to high demand.

What to Consider when Looking for Storage in Durham, NC

Although Durham is a thriving city with plenty of safe areas, it also has a very high crime rate that residents need to consider when choosing a storage facility. Property crime is particularly common. Sperling’s Best Places rates it as 58.1, which is significantly higher than the U.S. average of 35.4. Securely fenced storage facilities with controlled access are a good choice. For particularly valuable items, additional security features, such as video surveillance and individual door alarms, can add an extra layer of safety.

The climate in Durham also may impact storage decisions. The area gets about 8 inches more rain per year than the national average, which creates a damp, humid environment. This can cause damage due to leaks or mold and mildew growth. Delicate items may need to be stored in climate-controlled units, with particular attention paid to humidity control.
