Austin, Texas is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States. In 2010, the city claimed about 790 thousand people in comparison today, seven years later, where Austin now has a population of 912 thousand people. That’s nearly a 15% increase (or 15 times the population growth rate of the entire United States)! What is interesting about these numbers is that nearly 55% of the city, half a million people, are single. A lot of individuals in Austin are going stag nowadays, but they certainly aren’t alone. US Storage Centers offers Austin self-storage to the single individuals living in the community to simplify life and to help you organize your belongings and possessions. Consider some of the common storage items the single crowd is storing in Austin and how we can help you utilize a storage unit of your own. Childhood Memories One thing that many single people will keep in a storage unit includes a compilation of their childhood memories. Depending on circumstances, single individuals in Austin may live in smaller spaces, whether it is because they are rooming with another person or because they have a smaller space after a divorce. Childhood memories, whether photos, books mementos, awards or diplomas all take up a lot of space that isn’t commonly available but which would store well in self-storage units. In addition to boxes, we encourage single individuals to invest in plastic tubs to ensure no moisture will reach important papers or documents and to consider investing in a climate-controlled unit. This gives you more control over the integrity of your belongings and will preserve them as long as they are stored with us. Seasonal/Outdoor Clothing Single people generally have a lot more time for outdoor recreation. Though the temperature in Austin remains fairly mild throughout the year, storage units may also be a good solution to store seasonal clothing or other clothes you don’t commonly wear on a day to day basis. These include snow pants and heavy coats during the summer and shorts or swimwear during the winter. Those who love to travel or experience nature generally enjoy our units for clothing storage because it also provides a space where they can keep sleeping bags, tents, and other types of outdoor recreation possessions they acquire. Dressers, Bookshelves, and Other Furniture For single people, furniture always seems to be a burden when you are dealing with moving or when you are simply trying to make space in your apartment or shared room. Individuals who have acquired dressers, bookshelves, and other types of furniture know that these items are pricey, so when there is no room for them, simply getting rid of them or selling them for cheaper than what they were purchased is simply not an option. Keeping these bulky items in a storage unit instead provides you with more space and peace of mind.
