What storage types does AA New Storage offer?

RV, boat & vehicle parking — 26 oversized 12x40 spaces for motorhomes, boats on trailers, and work vehicles; the pads run near capacity, so reserve ahead. Oversized drive-up units — 214 roll-up-door units from about 10x8.5 up to 22x36, with deep inventory at 10x20, 10x26, 12x30, and 14x38: sizes that swallow garage contents, contractor equipment, and small-business stock. Need a different footprint? Our sister site two blocks up the street has more drive-up units at 1880 Whittier Ave. Indoor units — 516 interior units from 5x5 to 10x15 (a limited number of 10x20s) for household storage at lower rates. This location does not offer climate control — for climate-controlled units on Harbor Blvd, US Storage Centers at 2059 Harbor Blvd is five minutes away.

How do I get to AA New Storage?

From Newport Blvd or Superior Ave, take 17th Street west until it ends at Whittier Ave — the facility is right there, beside the 17th Street trailhead of the Frank and Joan Randall Preserve (the former Banning Ranch open space). From Victoria Street, turn south on Placentia Ave, then right on 17th Street to Whittier. Boaters: Newport Harbor's launch points are about five minutes down Superior Ave or Newport Blvd, which is why trailer owners from the peninsula and West Newport keep their boats here instead of paying coastal parking rates. From Huntington Beach, take Victoria Street across the Santa Ana River — about ten minutes door to door. The property sits in the Westside industrial district, with wide streets that make towing in and out simple.

Which areas does AA New Storage serve?

Westside Costa Mesa, West Newport Beach, Newport Shores, and boaters heading to the Newport Harbor launch ramps — plus Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley RV owners, for whom these are the closest dedicated oversized spaces to the Hamilton Ave corridor.

Why store at AA New Storage?

Scale, plainly: nowhere else in Costa Mesa combines 26 true 12x40 vehicle pads with drive-up units to 22x36, so this is the property that handles what the rest of the market can't — the motorhome, the boat on its trailer, the contractor's full trailer of equipment, the garage that became a warehouse. The drive aisles are built for towing, the 17th Street location keeps you off the narrow peninsula streets, and the same property gives you a 5x5 or 10x10 interior unit when the overflow is boxes rather than boats. Renters here also get large-format storage run by a team that knows regulars by name and vehicle. The rhythm of the property follows the water: launch-season weekends see trailers rolling out down Superior toward the harbor ramps, while winter brings the rigs home to their pads. If you're weighing this property against coastal alternatives, the math usually settles it — peninsula and beach-adjacent vehicle spaces are scarce and priced like the real estate under them, while 17th and Whittier is five minutes inland with room built for the job.
