There is a trend going on in Long Beach and many other cities where people for a
variety of reasons choose to downsize. For some, the kids have moved out and moved
on, lessening the need for a larger home, while others are looking to save money by
living in a smaller domicile. So, the question arises of what to do with items one needs
that no longer fit in one’s newly downsized reality.
For many, this is where storage comes in. Where as before, it was easy to keep
camping supplies, seasonal clothing and other less used, but still important items
around the house or in the garage, now, its not possible. Storage is a great option.
First, it costs much less per square foot to rent a storage unit then it does to rent or buy
the same square feet in the housing market. Secondly, it keeps clutter from developing
around you. When it’s time to go camping for instance, you simply drop by your storage
unit, load up the tent, the camp stove, the cooler etc. and off you go.
Storage can also serve as a temporary solution while one is downsizing. As the new
home is decorated and filled, it makes it much easier to sort through items at the
storage unit in order to determine what may or may not fit in the new home. Or, in other
instances, the new home may need some work. While that work is being accomplished,
the furniture and other belongings can be kept safely away from the dust and mess of
construction or simply from paint splatter.
