"This Just In"--NORTH CHANDLER SELF-STORAGE RATES ARE CHEAPER!

Many of you are already aware of this (but for those who aren't), did you know that self-storage rental rates for the same size and type can vary by as much as 15% from one part of town to another?

It's true.

In much the same way that it pays to shop around for an apartment to live in, it pays to shop around for a storage unit to put your stuff in.

And if you live in the Chandler-Gilbert area, you've got QUITE A SELECTION to choose from!

That's why, if you can spare the time (i.e., you're not "under the gun" to get a storage space in the next five minutes), you should do a little price comparison as well as a comparison of appearance, cleanliness, management, security, amenities, location, etc. -- just as you would if you were shopping for an apartment to move to.

Then, visit a couple of self-storage facilities in the price range you've established, in the general area where you need it.

So here's your money-saving tip...

If you live in, say, South Chandler, and you're not averse to getting a storage unit a few miles to the north, you can save as much as 15%--possibly more depending on the size of the space you're looking for and the move-in specials that are available.

For example, at a certain facility on Arizona Avenue north of Germann Road (south of the 202 San Tan freeway), a 10 x 20 non-air-conditioned unit rents for $163.00 per month plus tax.

That same 10 x 20 non-air-conditioned unit at our facility, ARIZONA STORAGE INNS - CHANDLER--on Warner Road just east of Arizona Avenue--rents for $140.00 per month plus tax.

If you do the math, that's a price difference of 14.1 %! ($23.00)

Pretty substantial.

So remember, when you're looking for self-storage in the Chandler (or even Gilbert) area, be sure and cast a wide net. It could save you some money.

But don't just shop for price alone. Compare convenience, location, appearance, security and cleanliness--a TELLTALE SIGN that reflects on BOTH the management and the tenants!--basically your overall impression of the facility and its management.

Then make your best choice, RENT YOUR SPACE and MOVE IN!

That's all for now. I'll be back with more helpful self-storage tips for you in the Chandler-Gilbert area.

Take care!
