Founded as a coal and steel hub after the Civil War, Bessemer, Alabama is now in the Birmingham metro area and is shifting to more high-tech warehouse jobs and a service economy. Residents enjoy a state-of-the-art recreation center, a great park system, and extensive rails-to-trails bike and walking paths. In the summer, people flock to the Bessemer Farmer’s Market and the Blues and BBQ Festival. And after having raised the Guinness-recognized world’s oldest chicken, Matilda, this town has truly earned its nickname of, “The Marvel City.”
With house prices and rents below the national average, Bessemer attracts families who want a low-cost of living. But with low housing stocks, you may find yourself waiting for your ideal property to open up. And, of course, that means you’ll need a place to store your stuff.
If that happens, be sure to consider self-storage as an option in your move to Bessemer. For units big or small and leases long and short, there are plenty of facilities in the Birmingham area and in Bessemer in particular. You’ll be surprised at how affordable and convenient your options are.
