Located in the southeast corner of Alabama, Dothan calls itself, “The Peanut Capital of The World.” One quarter of the US peanut crop is grown within 75 miles of the city and the museum of Africana and African-American achievements is named after the inventor of peanut butter, George Washington Carver. Though agriculture is still an important part of the economy, many residents work in manufacturing or the growing service sector. After work, families enjoy art museums, professionally-built hiking and biking trails, and concerts at the Dothan Opera House.
Though Dothan’s housing prices are still lower than the national average, the population’s increased almost 8% and the city’s diversifying economy will likely put more stress on housing stock. You may find yourself waiting several months for the ideal property to open up or you might be moving into a place with less storage space than you’d like.
Thankfully, there are plenty of self-storage facilities in and around Dothan. Whether you need a big space for the short-term or a small space for longer, you’ll be surprised at the affordability and convenience of your options. Don’t let storage be what keeps you from moving to this southern gem.
