The Cost of Self-Storage in Jacksonville, FL

Most storage unit sizes in Jacksonville have higher-than-average costs when compared to Florida and the United States overall. The cost difference is most significant in the smallest and largest units, which are approximately $5-$15 more expensive than state and national averages, and midsize options are slightly more affordable. Within Jacksonville itself, the cost is generally higher in densely populated areas and near colleges and airports.

Jacksonville’s population is younger than average for Florida, with more than 100,000 students enrolled in over a dozen colleges throughout the area, which is one of the contributing factors to the higher price of self-storage units. However, the median home cost in Jacksonville is approximately 30% lower than the state and national averages and as much as 300% lower than neighboring areas, which helps keep self-storage unit costs more affordable.

The average cost of storage units in Jacksonville compared to state and national averages
Size of Storage Unit City Average State Average National Average
5×5 $47 $40 $41
5×10 $58 $61 $59
10×10 $93 $98 $95
10×15 $132 $128 $113
10×20 $148 $136 $133

Apart from the rental cost at self-storage facilities in Jacksonville, it’s important to consider other factors, such as crime and climate. Jacksonville’s rate of property crime is approximately 50% higher than that of Florida and the United States, and this must be taken into account when assessing the security at the many facilities available. Some facilities have on-site security guards as well as cameras, motion sensors and other precautions, which are particularly common in the downtown area.

The climate in Jacksonville, and Florida in general, is hotter and more humid compared to the majority of cities and states. Most common items and materials, such as paper, fabric and wood, are better stored in cooler and drier conditions, so it may be worth considering a climate-controlled unit.

Helpful Tips for Moving to Jacksonville, FL

Jacksonville is somewhat of an anomaly among Florida’s larger cities. It has a younger population and less of a focus on tourism, and its overall cost of living is 9.3% lower than that of the state.

Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is located approximately 12 miles north of downtown and is served by most popular airlines, with Delta and Southwest accounting for the majority of traffic. Public transportation is available for much of Jacksonville, including over 30 JTA bus routes and the free downtown Skyway.
