Mobile, Alabama is far more like New Orleans than a sedate southern town. The city was originally the first capital of French Louisiana and today hosts a multi-week Carnival season every early spring. Through the city suffered manufacturing decline in the 70s and 80s, residents today work in a large variety of modern shipbuilding, aerospace, and steel facilities. The job market is projected to grow 27.5% over the next 10 years, making Mobile a city on the rise.
While housing prices in Mobile are still below the national average, they are increasing fast. The median home price is up 16% from 2021 and the average rent for a studio apartment is up a whopping 70%. Moving to Mobile might mean having to settle for less storage space than you might like.
Thankfully, there are plenty of self-storage facilities in and around Mobile. Even if you need a larger unit or a longer lease, you’ll be surprised at how affordable it can be. And with facilities all over town, it’s easy to find one close to home. If you’re dreaming of a new life on the Gulf Coast, don’t let a lack of storage space be what holds you back.
