Berkeley, California is probably the most famous place in the Bay Area after San Francisco and Oakland. And while some of the stereotypes about being a hippie paradise are true, for a certain kind of person, it offers a great quality of life. Having the University of California in town means there’s a great arts and music scene and residents also love having so many great restaurants in town.
Due to citywide reticence around new housing development, housing costs in Berkeley are extremely high. 98% of apartments have a $2000 rent or higher with an average of $3312. The median home price is $1.6 million, up 12% since 2021. Almost everyone has to do some downsizing when they move to Berkeley.
That’s why you should keep self-storage in your plans for any Berkeley move. Whether you need a short-term lease while you’re waiting for a closing or need a long-term storage solution, self-storage is more affordable than you think. And with facilities all over town, it’s easy to find one close to home. No matter what your situation, self-storage can help make your Berkeley move easier and cheaper.
