Famous for the South by Southwest Festival, the Alamo Drafthouse movie theater, and the PBS show Austin City Limits, Austin, Texas is both the seat of state government and the unofficial cultural capital. And with more high-tech companies setting up shop and the city gaining a reputation for being one of the safest big cities in America, the city added the 4th largest number of residents from 2020 to 2021 among US cities. When looking for hot spots to move to in America, you could do much worse than this city of 2.3 million.
Living in the coolest city in the south comes at a premium, though. The average rent for a studio apartment is over $1,200 and the median home price is almost $590,000. You might find yourself moving into smaller digs to keep your Austin lifestyle affordable.
The good news is that you can find affordable self-storage options all over Austin. Whether you’re waiting to close on a property or want something longer-term for your Austin-weird shopping finds, you can find a storage space close to your new home. Don’t let a lack of space be the reason you miss out on Texas’ weirdest city.
