Self Storage on Unicorn Road in North Bakersfield, CA

US Storage Centers on Unicorn Road serves North Bakersfield and Oildale from just off Highway 99 near Meadows Field Airport. This location specializes in ground-level, drive-up self storage — including the largest units of any US Storage Centers location in Bakersfield, with oversized spaces up to 15×60 for equipment, business inventory, or the contents of a large home. It's a clean, access-controlled facility with gated electronic entry, 24-hour video recording, and wide drive aisles that make loading simple, whatever brought you here — a move, a remodel, or a business outgrowing its space.

What storage unit types does the Unicorn Road location offer?

Every storage unit here offers ground-level drive-up access — pull your vehicle to your roll-up door and load directly, no elevators and no hallways. Sizes start at 8×7 for boxes and seasonal items, step through 8×15 and 8×20 for studio and one-bedroom loads, run through 10×20, 10×25, and 15×20 household sizes, and top out at oversized 15×30, 15×40, and 15×60 spaces. Units are not air-cooled at this location; if you're storing temperature-sensitive items like electronics, photographs, or wood furniture, our Mesa Grande Street location offers air-cooled storage near Valley Plaza, with indoor units as well. Not sure which size fits? A 10×20 generally holds the contents of a three-bedroom home; step up to a 15×20 or 15×25 when garage or shop equipment rides along, and the on-site team can walk the aisles with you before you commit. The 8-foot-wide series is this location's take on the small end: an 8×10 sits between a typical 5×10 and 10×10 in footprint, and the 8×20 gives you 10×15-class square footage in a longer, shallower bay that loads easily from the tailgate.

Who are the oversized units for?

The 15×30, 15×40, and 15×60 spaces are the deepest self storage inventory in our Bakersfield portfolio — sized for contractors' equipment and materials, business stock, market and event vendors, and whole-home moves that would otherwise take two standard units. A 15×60 gives you 900 square feet behind one roll-up door. Wide aisles accommodate large trucks and trailers for loading and unloading, and month-to-month terms mean a contractor can scale up for a project season and back down when it wraps. Seasonal storers use them too: a 15×30 holds a market vendor's booth stock and displays between event seasons, and oil-field and agricultural contractors keep materials off job sites without renting a dedicated yard. And there's depth behind the big doors: this facility stocks more than eighty 15×30 spaces and more than fifty 15×60s, so an oversized request that would sell out a typical facility usually still has an open door here.

How do you get to US Storage Centers on Unicorn Road?

From Highway 99, take Exit 30 for Merle Haggard Drive — the same exit that serves Meadows Field Airport, Kern County's main airport — and turn onto Unicorn Road; the facility is at 3023 Unicorn Road, minutes from the terminal. From Oildale, head west on Norris Road or take North Chester Avenue to Merle Haggard Drive and follow it toward the airport. From downtown Bakersfield, it's about ten minutes north on Highway 99. The location sits in North Bakersfield's airport-industrial corridor, an easy stop for anyone commuting the 99 between Bakersfield and Delano, and the Highway 65 interchange for Porterville-bound traffic is just north. Nearby landmarks: Meadows Field Airport, the Kern County Sheriff's complex on Norris Road, and the Kern River corridor to the south. If you're arriving with a rental truck or trailer, the wide aisles give you a straight approach to most units — ask the office for the easiest route to yours. Leaving is just as simple — you're one turn from Merle Haggard Drive and back on Highway 99 in minutes, northbound toward Delano or southbound into central Bakersfield.

Which neighborhoods does the Unicorn Road location serve?

North Bakersfield, Oildale, the Highway 99/65 corridor, and the river communities along the Kern — convenient if you live or work near North Chester Avenue, Airport Drive, Norris Road, or Merle Haggard Drive, and a straight shot up the 99 for downtown households that need more space than a downtown lot can offer.

Why store on Unicorn Road instead of another Bakersfield location?

Three reasons renters pick this location. First, size: no other US Storage Centers facility in Bakersfield rents spaces as large as the 15×40 and 15×60 bays here — if a household or business load won't fit anywhere else in town, it fits on Unicorn Road. Second, access: every storage unit is drive-up, aisles are wide enough for large trucks and trailers, and the gate-access window is the longest of our four Bakersfield locations. Third, reputation: renters consistently praise this store, which is run by an on-site team that knows its regulars by name. If you need air-cooled space instead, our Mesa Grande Street location has it; for downtown convenience, see our drive-up storage on Truxtun Avenue or the storage units in downtown Bakersfield on 30th Street. Either way, you can reserve online for free to hold your unit before you drive over, or rent entirely online and move in the same day.

Why choose US Storage Centers?

Real local people run this facility — you're a name, not a number. We're nationally trusted and personally run, with facilities across 20+ states and on-site managers who know North Bakersfield.
