Texas Storage Rates

Storage Diligence Texas Rate Survey

This page shows median online asking rates for standard self storage unit sizes across the four largest Texas metros, from a fixed panel of facilities that Storage Diligence re-quotes every week. Rates are monthly online rates before sales tax, fees and promotions, shown for both non-climate (drive-up) and climate-controlled units. Click a metro name for its full survey: rates by size, the submarkets behind the metro figure, and how the metro compares with the Texas index.

Latest update: September 7, 2026 (Dallas-Fort Worth). Figures are for the survey week beginning that Monday.

Median asking rates by metro

Rates are rounded to the nearest dollar. $/sq ft is the simple average, for each product, of the metro rate per square foot across the five published sizes with five or more quotes behind them; where only one size qualifies it is greyed and labelled. Grey figures with counts rest on fewer than five quotes and are indicative only; they are excluded from the $/sq ft averages. Change vs last week and vs 4 weeks ago track non-climate $/sq ft against the prior survey and the survey four weeks earlier. Facilities surveyed is the number of panel facilities that published a rate this week out of the panel. n/a marks a metro not yet surveyed, a product not published, or no prior comparison.

Methodology

Storage Diligence runs a fixed-panel survey. Each market or submarket holds a standing panel of about fourteen self storage facilities, drawn from the Storage Diligence census of Texas facilities and balanced so that national REITs are a fixed minority alongside regional chains and single-site independents. The same panel is re-quoted every week, on the same weekday, so a move in the numbers is a move in what operators are asking rather than a change in which facilities were sampled. A facility that goes three weeks without publishing a rate is replaced.

Rates are the online monthly rate the facility publishes for a unit of the stated size and product, before Texas sales tax, tenant insurance, administration fees and locks. Where a facility shows a crossed-out street rate beside a lower online rate, the online rate is recorded. Rates are never estimated, interpolated or carried forward from a previous week; a facility that publishes nothing that week contributes nothing. Sold-out units are excluded.

Non-climate (drive-up) and climate-controlled units are reported separately because they are different products at different price points, and the mix of the two varies sharply by market. The week-over-week and four-week changes track non-climate space because it is the product sold in every market.

A submarket figure is the median of its panel’s quotes for that size. A metro figure is a chained, population-weighted index over the metro’s submarkets, which moves only by the change measured across submarkets present in both weeks, so a submarket coming online for the first time cannot move it by itself. Figures resting on fewer than five quotes are shown in grey with their count and are indicative only; they are excluded from the $/sq ft averages.

Dallas-Fort Worth is surveyed as 21 submarkets with a chained metro index. Houston, Austin and San Antonio are currently surveyed as single markets in the statewide run; their pages fill in once each has its own submarket panel and metro index.
