Tips for Finding Self Storage in Lake Forest, IL

Just starting your Lake Forest self storage search? There are a few things you should know. Lake Forest storage unit prices and availability are closely related to things like real estate prices, the type of housing available in the area, the city's wealth, and whether or not many people are moving to the area. The US Census keeps accurate data relating to all of these factors, so we've used their data on Lake Forest to help inform your Lake Forest self storage search.

One of the primary uses of self storage is as a safe place to keep your things between moving homes. If many people are moving to or from Lake Forest, prices could be higher and availability lower. A city with a high amount of moving activity should see substantial changes in population, so by looking at population data for Lake Forest we can get a better idea of the amount of moving activity. The US Census tells us that the metro area population of Lake Forest declined from 19,392 in 2010 to 19,379 in 2014, a loss of -0.07%.

Vacancy and occupancy rates in the Lake Forest housing market can help us gauge the demand for living space and thus self-storage space in Lake Forest, and may hint at storage availability and pricing. If housing occupancy rates in Lake Forest are high, it's probably safe to assume that storage facility occupancy rates in Lake Forest are also high, which would push unit prices up. According to US Census estimates, 90.9% of housing units in Lake Forest are occupied, while the vacancy rate is at 9.1%. The average occupancy rate in US cities is 89%, so it's likely the case that storage facilities in Lake Forest also have higher than average occupancy rates. High occupancy rates in Lake Forest will make it more difficult to find a good deal on a storage unit.
