Located a little over an hour from Los Angeles and wiith a population just under 170,000, Palmdale, California is a large town close to the action. And yet this desert community also seems like a million miles away from the urban hustle and bustle. The city is locally notorious for having almost no nightlife. Families would rather wake up early to go for a hike at the Devil’s Punchbowl Nature area or check out one of the airparks around town that pay tribute to the city’s aerospace industry.
Though Palmdale’s on the cheaper side for LA suburbs, housing costs are still higher than the national average. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,799, up 19% from 2021. The median home price is $535K , up 14% since 2021. Especially if you’re moving from out of state, moving to Palmdale might involve downsizing.

And with so many facilities, you’ll be able to find one close to home. If you’re thinking of a move to this great desert town, let self-storage make your move easier and cheaper.
