Downsizing to smaller homes is a current trend across the United States. It offers the opportunity to simplify your life while saving significant amounts of money in the process. If you are currently living in a larger home and are considering moving to a smaller place, you may be wondering what to do with all the items you have accumulated over the years. At US Storage Centers, our storage units in Alhambra provide an easy, cost-effective solution. Home decor and furnishings represent significant investments of your money, while you are likely to have personal items and collectibles that bring back family memories. Add in those items you do not use daily, and you could be facing some difficult decisions. Rather than getting rid of your belongings, Alhambra storage units let you downsize while holding onto the things that continue to have value for you. The Upside of Downsizing While bigger previously meant better when it came to housing, people today are more concerned with efficiency and eliminating wasted space. Whether you are a soon-to-be homeowner just starting out or a retiree with children who have flown the nest, moving to a smaller place makes good financial sense for a variety of reasons. You may end up having to sacrifice in terms of the overall amount of space in your home, but Kiplinger advises that the upside to downsizing is saving money in your mortgage, along with on your utility and insurance payments. Our Alhambra storage units help make a move like this possible by providing the extra room you need for everything from excess furniture and holiday decor to off-season clothing and recreational equipment. We offer cost-effective, convenient spaces in a variety of sizes, easily accessible to you, while still safe from damage, theft, or vandals. Save Space, Save Money According to Zillow, the median value of a home in Alhambra is more than $600,000. That is roughly $460 per square foot. Regardless of your own price point or the size of the home you are in the market for, it seems pointless to waste valuable, expensive space on your property for items you do not use on a daily basis. Alhambra storage units allow you to get the most out of the areas in your home, such as closets, cupboards, and spare rooms, by keeping belongings that often clutter up and waste these spaces in our storage facility instead. For a fraction of what you pay per square foot, you can have a clean, secure storage unit in Alhambra, allowing you to downsize and make the most of whatever square footage you do have.
