Air-Cooled & Indoor Storage on Mesa Grande Street in Bakersfield, CA

Bakersfield summers regularly push past 100°F, and the Central Valley's dry heat and dust are hard on furniture, electronics, photographs, and documents. US Storage Centers on Mesa Grande Street — just off Highway 99 near Valley Plaza in South Bakersfield — is our only Bakersfield location with air-cooled and indoor storage units, which moderate summer temperatures for sensitive items. You'll also find hundreds of ground-level drive-up units in sizes from 5×5 up to 18×45, month-to-month terms, and an on-site team renters consistently praise.

What storage unit types does the Mesa Grande location offer?

Three kinds of space, and the widest range of unit types at any US Storage Centers location in Bakersfield. Air-cooled units are interior spaces that moderate the Central Valley heat for temperature-sensitive items, in sizes like 5×10, 8×15, 10×15, and 10×20. Indoor units offer interior hallway access in 5×5, 5×10, and 10×10 — an economical choice for boxes and small furnishings. Ground-level drive-up units run from 5×5 through 10×30, with oversized 15×30 through 18×45 spaces for equipment and business inventory — pull your vehicle directly to the roll-up door and load from the tailgate.

Is air-cooled storage available in Bakersfield?

Yes — this is the US Storage Centers location for it. Our air-cooled units are interior spaces cooled to moderate Bakersfield's summer heat. They're the right choice for wood furniture, electronics, artwork, photos, documents, instruments, and anything else you wouldn't leave in a hot garage through a Bakersfield August. If your load is heat-tolerant — tools, outdoor gear, sealed bins — a standard drive-up unit loads faster and leaves the cooled space for the things that need it; the on-site team can help you decide. One packing tip for cooled units: keep the items you'll want mid-summer near the door, so a quick trip stays quick. And label boxes on the aisle-facing side — in an interior unit you'll thank yourself the first time you need one specific box in August.

How do you get to US Storage Centers on Mesa Grande Street?

From Highway 99, exit at Ming Avenue and head east toward the Valley Plaza corridor — the largest enclosed mall in the San Joaquin Valley sits at 2701 Ming Avenue — then turn south to Mesa Grande Street; the facility is at 3813 Mesa Grande Street, behind the mall corridor. From White Lane or Wible Road, it's a five-minute drive through South Bakersfield's retail spine. Downtown Bakersfield is about ten minutes north on the 99. Nearby landmarks: Valley Plaza mall, the Ming Avenue retail corridor, and the Hughes Lane and Planz Road neighborhoods east of the freeway. From White Lane, head north on Wible Road toward Ming Avenue and turn onto Mesa Grande Street; if you're coming from downtown, take Highway 99 south, exit at Ming Avenue, and you're at the gate in about two minutes. Two practical notes for moving day: Ming Avenue is a full interchange, so the exit works from either direction on the 99, and retail traffic around Valley Plaza builds through the afternoon — an early start makes the last quarter mile quicker.

Which neighborhoods does the Mesa Grande location serve?

South Bakersfield — Casa Loma, Lakeview, Belle Terrace, Oleander/Sunset, and the Hughes Lane, Wible Road, and Planz Road corridors — with quick Highway 99 access for the rest of the metro. If you're north of the river, our Unicorn Road location may be closer; downtown renters can also compare our drive-up storage on Truxtun Avenue and the storage units in downtown Bakersfield on 30th Street — or browse all storage units in Bakersfield for the full set.

Why store on Mesa Grande Street instead of another Bakersfield location?

Because heat is the enemy of half of what people store, and this is the only US Storage Centers facility in Bakersfield with air-cooled and indoor space. It's also the most versatile store in the set: air-cooled, indoor, drive-up, and oversized drive-up formats on one property mean you can put the piano in cooled space and the patio furniture in an economical exterior unit without splitting across facilities. Add Valley Plaza-corridor convenience for all of South Bakersfield and month-to-month terms, and Mesa Grande is the strongest all-around pick south of downtown. Need something bigger than 18×45? For large storage units in North Bakersfield, our Unicorn Road location rents up to 15×60. The mix runs deep as well: hundreds of drive-up spaces from 5×5 through 10×30 sit alongside the air-cooled and indoor inventory, and the oversized end climbs through 15×30 and 15×40 to 18×45 — more than 800 square feet behind a single roll-up door. Reserve online for free to hold your unit before you drive over, or rent entirely online and move in the same day.
