Finding Self Storage in Oceanside, CA: Top Tips

Before beginning your self storage search in Oceanside, there are a few things you should know. Oceanside 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. Using US Census data, we've pieced together a better picture of those factors as they relate to self storage in Oceanside.

Self storage is commonly used as a secure place to store one's belongings when moving into a new home. If there's a high amount of moving activity in Oceanside, that could affect storage unit pricing and availability. Population changes over time are one way of gauging the amount of moving activity in Oceanside. From 2010 to 2014, the Oceanside metro area population grew from 167,688 to 174,558, a growth rate of 4.1% according to the US Census.

Vacancy and occupancy rates in the Oceanside housing market can help us gauge the demand for living space and thus self-storage space in Oceanside, and may hint at storage availability and pricing. High occupancy rates can indicate a lack of housing supply in Oceanside, which may correlate to a lack of storage unit inventory and thus higher rental rates for self storage in the Oceanside area. According to US Census estimates, 91.9% of housing units in Oceanside are occupied, while the vacancy rate is at 8.1%. That's a lower vacancy rate than the average for cities in the United States, and suggests that storage facility vacancy in Oceanside may also be lower. Low vacancy allows storage facilities to charge higher rent, so a cheap storage unit could be trickier to find in Oceanside than in other cities.
