Downey, California isn’t a household name the way other Los Angeles suburbs like Pasadena or Huntington Beach might be, but the residents here probably like it that way. It’s long been a family-friendly working class town and families here still value their lower crime rate and well-regarded schools. Downey has been on lists of the most business-friendly town in southern California and has a strong local economy, though many residents make the 13 mile commute to downtown LA, too.
Though Downey is more affordable than other LA suburbs, housing prices are still above the national average. The average rent on a one-bedroom apartment is $2,095, up 5% from 2021. The median house price is $825K, up 10%. Moving the Downey, especially from out of state, may mean downsizing.
That’s why you should keep self-storage in your plans for any move to Downey. With facilities all around town, it’s easy to find a place that’s close to home. And even if you need a larger unit, self-storage is more affordable than you think. If you’re thinking of a move to this family-friendly SoCal town, don’t let storage space stand in the way.
