Storage Units on 30th Street in Downtown Bakersfield, CA

US Storage Centers on 30th Street offers the widest choice of unit sizes in Bakersfield — 19 sizes, from a 5×6 closet-sized space up to a 24×36 oversized bay. We're at 30th Street and Union Avenue, just off Highway 178 in the heart of the city, minutes from Downtown, East Bakersfield, and Bakersfield College. Every unit is ground-level with drive-up access, rentals are month-to-month, and you can rent online and move in the same day. Whatever brought you here — a move, a downsize, a business that needs elbow room — there's a size that fits, without paying for space you don't need.

What storage unit types does the 30th Street location offer?

Ground-level drive-up units in 19 sizes — the deepest size ladder of any US Storage Centers location in Bakersfield. Start at 5×6 for boxes and seasonal items, step through 5×10, 10×10, and 10×15 household sizes, and go as large as 10×30, 12×30, 20×30, and 24×36 for full households or business inventory. In between sit the sizes most facilities skip — 6×10, 8×20, 10×12, 12×20, 12×24, 15×20, 20×20 — so you can match the unit to your load and avoid paying for empty square feet. Units here are exterior drive-up; for air-cooled storage near Valley Plaza, see our Mesa Grande Street location. If you're between sizes, start smaller — the ladder is granular enough here that upgrading one step later usually beats paying months of empty space now. And the ladder is backed by real inventory, not one unit per size: more than a hundred 5×6 lockers, nearly two hundred 5×10s, and over a hundred each of the 10×10 and 10×20 workhorse sizes — so the size you pick is usually the size that's open.

How do you get to US Storage Centers on 30th Street?

We're at 111 30th Street, where 30th Street meets Union Avenue, just off Highway 178 in central Bakersfield. From the 178, exit toward Union Avenue and the facility is immediately west; from downtown, take Chester Avenue or Q Street north to 30th. Bakersfield Memorial Hospital is three blocks west on 34th Street, the Kern County Museum is about a mile north on Chester Avenue, and Garces Memorial Circle — where Chester meets the 204 — is the roundabout landmark most locals navigate by. Bakersfield College is roughly ten minutes northeast via the 178 and Mount Vernon Avenue, and East Bakersfield's Baker Street corridor is five minutes south. Coming from Oildale, take North Chester Avenue south through Garces Memorial Circle and turn east toward Union Avenue; from East Bakersfield, Niles Street to Union Avenue gets you here in about five minutes. The entrance is on 30th Street, with room to swing a moving truck through the gate. From the 178 the Union Avenue exit drops you practically at the gate, and from downtown both Chester Avenue and Q Street run straight north to 30th — three simple routes in, whichever side of the city center you start from.

Which neighborhoods does the 30th Street location serve?

Downtown Bakersfield, La Cresta, Hillcrest, College Heights, East Bakersfield, Riviera-Westchester, Oleander/Sunset, and Oildale — the central and east-side neighborhoods that reach us in minutes via Union Avenue, Chester Avenue, or Highway 178. West-of-downtown renters can also compare our drive-up storage on Truxtun Avenue, 2.2 miles away, or browse all storage units in Bakersfield for the full four-location picture. Union Avenue and the 178 also make this the natural stop for commuters heading in from Hillcrest and College Heights on their way through the city center.

Why store on 30th Street instead of another Bakersfield location?

Fit. Most storage facilities carry six or eight sizes; this one carries nineteen. That granularity matters because storage is priced by the square foot you rent, not the square feet you fill — a household between a 10×10 and a 10×20 can take a 10×12 or 10×15 here instead of paying for a half-empty unit. The oversized end is just as useful: 12×30, 20×30, and 24×36 bays give downtown businesses warehouse-style space without a warehouse lease. Add the most central address in our Bakersfield set — at Union Avenue and Highway 178, minutes from Memorial Hospital and the downtown core — and 30th Street is the store to check first if you live or work in central or east Bakersfield. Downtown apartments and older central-Bakersfield homes rarely have garages to spare, which is why so many renters here treat 30th Street as their extra room — a 5×6 or 5×10 a few minutes from home instead of a closet that won't close. Businesses use the same math in reverse: rather than leasing fixed commercial space, they scale bays up and down as inventory swells and clears. If you're unsure between two rungs of the ladder, take the smaller one — with nineteen sizes on one property, moving up a step later means crossing an aisle, not crossing town, and month-to-month terms make the switch cost nothing in commitment. Need cooled space? Mesa Grande Street has it; for large storage units in North Bakersfield up to 15×60, see Unicorn Road.
