Houston Self Storage Rates

This metro has not been surveyed yet. The tables below show the structure of the report; figures will be filled in when the first Houston survey is published. Back to Texas Storage Rates.

Asking rates by unit size

Median monthly asking rates at each standard footprint across the Houston metro, with the count of facilities behind each figure, the middle fifty percent of the non-climate distribution, and the full range.

Unit size	Typical use	Non-climate	Climate	Middle 50% (non-cl.)	Range (non-cl.)
5×5	closet, seasonal items	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a
5×10	one-bedroom apartment	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a
10×10	two-bedroom apartment	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a
10×15	three-bedroom home	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a
10×20	house or vehicle	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a

Rate per square foot, and the climate premium

Asking rate divided by the unit’s nominal square footage, for each product, and the percentage by which climate-controlled space is priced above or below non-climate space at the same footprint.

Unit size	$/sq ft non-climate	$/sq ft climate	Climate premium
5×5	n/a	n/a	n/a
5×10	n/a	n/a	n/a
10×10	n/a	n/a	n/a
10×15	n/a	n/a	n/a
10×20	n/a	n/a	n/a

Where the market is, and what it charges

Facilities grouped by submarket within the Houston metro, with each submarket’s share of supply and its median 5×10 and 10×10 asking rates.

Submarket	Facilities	Share of market	Median 5×10	Median 10×10
To be defined at first survey	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a

Who owns the market

Facilities grouped by ownership tier: institutional (REIT, national platform or public company), regional operators with multiple sites in Texas or the region, and single-site independents.

Ownership tier	Facilities	Share	Median 5×10	Median 10×10	Climate-controlled
Institutional (REIT, national platform, public)	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a
Regional operator (multi-site, one state or region)	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a
Independents (single-site, owner-operated)	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a

Climate-controlled is the share of rate-publishing facilities in each tier that offer climate-controlled units.

Operators with more than one location

Every operator with two or more facilities in the Houston metro, ranked by count.

Operator	Facilities	Share of market
n/a	n/a	n/a

Discounting

How many rate-publishing facilities are running a move-in promotion on the survey date, the share of advertised units covered, and the median and deepest discount off the street rate.

Measure	Value
Facilities running a promotion	n/a
Share of advertised units on promotion	n/a
Median discount off street rate	n/a
Deepest discount	n/a

How much of this market is actually visible

Not every facility publishes a price. This table reports how much of the census could be read, which is the basis for every median above.

Pricing disclosure	Facilities	Share	What it means
Publishes per-size rates	n/a	n/a	Full unit-by-unit pricing online
Publishes bands only	n/a	n/a	Starting-at pricing with no per-size rate
Publishes no pricing	n/a	n/a	Working listing that quotes by phone or enquiry only
Could not be read	n/a	n/a	Site unreachable or bot-protected; no rate recorded

Method and caveats

Storage Diligence surveys published online rates at every facility in each metro recorded in its Texas facility census, de-duplicated and verified. Facilities whose rates can be read automatically are re-surveyed every week; the rest are read by hand on a rotation, and a facility’s last known rate is carried forward between readings so that changes reflect pricing decisions, not sample changes.

Rates are the advertised monthly street rate for a unit of the stated size and product, before Texas sales tax, and excluding move-in specials, tenant insurance and administration fees. Where an operator lists several tiers of the same footprint, the median tier is recorded. 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.

Each median counts facilities, not listings, and figures drawn from fewer than three facilities are shown in grey with their count. They are indicative only and are excluded from the $/sq ft averages.

The panel is every facility in the metro recorded in the Storage Diligence Texas facility census, de-duplicated and verified. Container, RV and boat yards are counted in the census but excluded from rate figures. Rates are the advertised online asking rate on the survey date: the street rate a new tenant would be quoted, not contract rents, and not what existing tenants pay after rate increases. Weekly and four-weekly prices are converted to a true monthly figure. Starting-at pricing is recorded as published and flagged rather than dropped.

Figures are approximate and subject to revision. E.&O.E.
