A city near Backbone Mountain in northern Alabama and the county seat of St. Clair County, Ashville offers a slower and almost nostalgic pace of life. Just 45 minutes outside of Birmingham, residents can commute to urban jobs while enjoying the small town lifestyle. Residents enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping in their off hours. Throw in mild winter weather that rarely gets below freezing, and it’s no surprise that the city has seen slow but steady population growth.
While housing prices and rentals are lower in Ashville than in the rest of the country, Alabama’s population growth and the COVID-19 pandemic have pushed up prices. A move to Ashville might mean waiting for your ideal property to open up or moving into a smalled space than you’d like.
If you do find yourself in that situation, there are plenty of self-storage facilities in the Birmingham area and Ashville in particular. Whether you need a short or long-term lease, you’ll be surprised at how affordable and convenient your options are. Don’t let lack of storage space be what keeps you from an Ashville move.
