Originally built to house workers at the Alabaster Lime Company, today Alabaster is part of the Birmingham metro area and the 16th largest city in Alabama. The population has jumped more than 60% in the past decade, as families move to take advantage of the great park district, low crime, and stable economy. Recently, the city has moved to increase retail and restaurant development. All signs point to Alabaster being a future boomtown of the new South.
While housing prices are (for now) relatively reasonable, with rents around $1000 a month and the median house price under $300K, things are heating up. During your move to Alabaster, you may find yourself waiting to close on a property or with less space than you’d hoped for.
Thankfully, there are plenty of self-storage options available in the Birmingham area and in Alabaster in particular. While you need a short-term solution or want something more long-term, you’ll be surprised at the affordable and convenient options. Get in on the ground floor of this hot new town and don’t let lack storage space hold you back!
