Moving to the Sacramento Area, CA?

 Sacramento houses a rich history and a strong community, and it is referred to as the hidden gem of the Central Valley. Known as the “City of Trees”, Sacramento is covered in a dense canopy of trees, which was planted during the Gold Rush by the settlers to give them shade while they hunted for gold. While the Gold Rush ended, the trees stuck around and they have become an integral part of the identity of Sacramento (and they help with the hot summers!). Sacramento is diverse in its population, but unified in its mission to maintain a vibrant culture. Let SmartStop make your move to the Sacramento area easy with convenient self-storage locations across the City of Trees.

5 Factors to Consider When Choosing Storage in the Sacramento Area

When looking for storage in Sacramento, consider the following factors:

• The weather in Sacramento

The Sacramento area is known for its long, hot summers and cold, brisk winters. For sensitive items, consider climate-controlled storage. (with the hottest month of July having a maximum high of 93 degrees and sometimes getting up to 102 degrees,  we  recommend thoroughly researching the effect of high temperatures on any items you wish to store without climate control.)

• Vehicle storage options such as an RV, boat, kayak or canoe.

Our vehicle storage options make it easy to store your recreational vehicles when they’re not in use. We offer uncovered storage for larger vehicles, such as campers and RVs, and enclosed storage for any vehicle that fits within one of our larger storage units, depending on the location.

• Does the facility have drive-up storage?

Most locations offer drive-up units that provide easy access to larger items and are highly convenient for frequent visitors.

• Security of self-storage facility

SmartStop Self Storage locations in Sacramento are equipped with security features to keep your belongings safe. We use 24-hour surveillance and keypad-gated access at each storage facility.

• Storage access hours

Many SmartStop locations offer extended access hours for added convenience. Most of our facilities are available from 6 am to 10 pm, but please check your location’s hours of operation.
