Are Storage Units Near The Entrance Cheaper or Expensive?
If you've compared storage unit prices at almost any facility, you've probably noticed something odd: two units that are the exact same size can carry different monthly rates. One common reason renters ask about is location within the property, specifically, whether a unit near the entrance or gate costs more or less than one further back.
Why Location Within a Facility Can Affect Price at Some Facilities
At many self storage facilities, units closer to the entrance or office do carry a premium. The reasoning is simple: easier access means less time driving through the property, less maneuvering a truck or trailer through tight rows, and a shorter walk from your vehicle to your unit. Facilities that offer this tier of pricing charge a bit more for that convenience, and sometimes discount units set further back on the property.
How Pricing Actually Works at Levi Storage Center
Levi Storage Center, located at 1800 Stirman Ave in Fayetteville, does not price units based on distance from the entrance or gate. Every renter has the same access regardless of where their unit sits on the property.
Instead, the price differences you'll see at this facility come down to unit type and size. A drive up unit lets you pull your vehicle right up to load or unload. A drive thru climate controlled unit gives you that same vehicle access while keeping your belongings at a steady temperature between 50°F and 80°F and humidity between 30% and 50% year round, which typically costs more but protects anything sensitive to heat, cold, or moisture. Size plays a role too, with small units starting lower and medium units carrying a higher monthly rate.
So, Is Closer to the Entrance Actually Cheaper?
It depends entirely on the storage facility. Some storage companies do price by proximity to the entrance, so it's a fair question to ask when you're comparing options. At Levi Storage Center specifically, entrance proximity isn't a factor at all. What determines your rate is the size of the unit, whether you are interested in drive thru climate control, and current promotions, not where the unit happens to sit on the property.
