Grand Rapids, Michigan was known as, “Furniture City,” in the early 20th century as the industry employed a large number of the working and middle class. After heavy-handed strikebreaking forced workers to move to better paying regions, the city’s economy changed. Today, the large craft beer scene has garnered Grand Rapids national and international acclaim as, “Beer City.”
With a broadened economy and great dining and drinking options, Grand Rapid’s population has increased more than 8% since the 2010 census. This growth has pushed up housing prices dramatically. Rent has increased 27% over 2021 and the median house price has increased 16% over the same time. With that rapid increase in prices, you may need to wait for the right property to open up or have to move into a smaller space than you might like.
That’s why self-storage should be part of any moving plans to Grand Rapids. Whether you need a short-term lease or want a unit over a longer period, you’ll be surprised how affordable storage can be. And with units all over town, it’s convenient, too. Don’t let storage be the reason you miss out on moving to this great town.
