Drive-Up & Interior Storage on E Gerard Avenue in Merced, CA

US Storage Centers at 1667 E Gerard Avenue serves South Merced from just off Highway 99, minutes from downtown. The single-story property offers ground-level interior units from 5x5 to 10x15 and drive-up units up to 15x30, with wide drive aisles, electronic gated access, and 24/7 video recording. Moving along the 99, clearing space at home, or storing between UC Merced semesters - the on-site team will help you find the right fit, and every unit rents month to month so the space can come and go with the season.

What unit types can you rent on E Gerard Avenue?

Interior units (5x5, 5x10, 10x10, 10x15) give you an enclosed, ground-level space at an economical rate - the 5x5 clears a closet, the 10x10 holds an apartment, and every interior unit sits out of direct sun and weather. Drive-up units (5x10 through 15x30) let you back your vehicle to the door and load directly - the 15x20 and 15x30 suit trades, equipment, and business inventory. Because the property is early in its rental cycle, the size selection is one of the widest in Merced, so you can usually match the exact footprint you need rather than settling for the next size up. This facility does not offer climate-controlled units, wine storage, or RV parking.

How do I get to US Storage Centers on E Gerard Avenue?

The facility sits on E Gerard Avenue in South Merced, just east of Highway 99. From downtown Merced, head south on Highway 99 and exit toward Gerard Avenue; from Atwater and Winton, take the 99 south past the Merced Regional Airport area. UC Merced students: the campus at 5200 N Lake Road is about eight miles northeast of downtown - take Campus Parkway to Highway 99 south and exit at Gerard. Nearby landmarks: the Merced Regional Airport sits a few minutes west, downtown Merced and the Highway 140 gateway to Yosemite are minutes north, and the Gerard Avenue corridor itself is South Merced's main east-west storage and light-industrial strip.

Arriving with a loaded vehicle is straightforward: the property is single-story from end to end, the drive aisles are sized for a truck and trailer, and drive-up renters pull directly to their unit door. If you're comparing trips from the north side of town, count on crossing Merced on Highway 99 rather than surface streets - the Gerard corridor is built for exactly that kind of in-and-out errand.

First visit? Reserve online, then check in with the office when you arrive - the team walks every new renter to the unit before the paperwork, points out the gate keypad and your nearest aisle, and makes sure the footprint you reserved actually fits the load in your truck. If it doesn't, switching sizes on day one is a five-minute fix, not a second trip.

What areas does this facility serve?

South Merced, downtown Merced, the Merced Regional Airport area, the UC Merced corridor, Atwater, and Winton - the Highway 99 trade area. Renters headed to or from Yosemite on Highway 140 pass within minutes of the property, and Atwater and Winton households reach it without touching downtown traffic.

Why store at 1667 E Gerard Avenue?

Three practical reasons. First, everything is single-story and ground level - no elevators, no stairs, no cart queues; interior renters walk straight in, drive-up renters park at the door. Second, the size selection is wide across nearly every footprint, from 5x5 interior lockers to 15x30 drive-ups, so you can match the unit to the load instead of paying for spare square footage. Third, it's the newest-generation property in the Merced market with a clean, well-lit layout, run by an on-site team that earns its reputation one renter at a time.

There's also a practical budget angle: interior units here typically rent below drive-up units of the same footprint, so renters who don't need vehicle-to-door access can take the enclosed option and keep the difference. Students on the UC Merced cycle tend to take a 5x5 or 5x10 interior for the summer; households mid-move usually land on a 10x10 or a 10x20 drive-up; trades take the 15-foot-wide bays. Whatever the load, the team walks you to the unit before you sign, so the size you rent is the size you actually need.
