New York Self Storage

Usually when you think self storage, it calls to mind images of people who simply don't have enough room in their homes for all their junk and are forced to outsource space. In part, this stereotype is true. But there are also two other demographics that have a lot to gain by using self storage, and neither fall into the category mentioned above: students and members of the military.

New York Self Storage for Stationed Military Personnel

There's plenty of New York self storage that enlisted people can find, it's just a matter of knowing which is closest to you and what will fit your needs: size wise, distance wise, and money wise. It's no small understatement to say that many in the military are underpaid. And it's another untrue assumption to think that most of the people stationed at military bases are fresh faced recruits with the majority of their belongings stored safely "back home." Most of them are career military that have brought their families and belongings in tow, on assignments just short enough not to warrant settling down for good.

New York Storage Units Near Fort Hamilton (11209)

Army personnel stationed at Fort Hamilton can find a broad range of self storage in New York, all within close distance to the 11209 ZIP Code. Although a majority of the storage units within five miles of Fort Hamilton carry a high ticket price (and we're talking over $80 per month, some even over $100) you can count on much lower costs if you set your sights a bit further outside of your immediate vicinity. If you don't mind crossing state lines into New Jersey, you can find storage units just 10 miles away for under $20 a month, or better yet ñ pay half that if you're willing to go 4 miles further. There are considerations to bear in mind, of course, when choosing by distance:

• How often you'll need to get access.
• Whether or not you have transportation to get you back and forth.
• What you're storing (does it need to be stored in a temperature controlled environment, or is it durable enough to withstand the harsh New York City winter and equally brutal summer?).

New York Self Storage for Students

Self storage is a big business in New York City for many reasons, not the least of which are the large number of students that use it to store their belongings so they can travel light while living in dorms, off campus housing, or the occasional couch of a sympathetic soul. The high cost of tuition is another consideration that's made the hunt for affordable self storage in New York akin to the search for the Holy Grail. Here are a few suggestions for some of the best priced storage facilities in the city, based on location.

• If you're a student attending school around the Cambridge (10013) and New York University (10012) areas, you can take advantage of your close proximity to New Jersey which offers generally lower rates than those you'll find in the city.
• If you're up closer to Central Park in the CUNY vicinity (10065), consider looking into the Yonkers area (10701). It'll require a slightly longer drive, but can wind up saving you a substantial amount of monthly rent.
