Self Storage – Mesa

Come to Mesa for the Thriving Economy, Ample Housing and Easy Living

East McKellips Road, where our storage facility is located, is just north of downtown Mesa, connecting commuters, locals and visitors to many of the city’s greatest attractions, thriving business districts and ever-growing neighborhoods. There’s a reason why Mesa has consistently attracted transplants year after year. It’s now the third-biggest city in the state, on the heels of Phoenix and Tucson. While an obviously popular place to live and work, Mesa is spread out across nearly 140 square miles, so residents enjoy space and privacy.

Major employers in Mesa are centered on the healthcare, aerospace and defense and technology sectors. Manufacturing giants including Boeing, Bridgestone and FUJIFILM have established Mesa headquarters. In addition, Apple opened its Global Command Center in Mesa in 2019. From there, the company operates its App Store and iOS ecosystem, helping to establish Mesa as a competitive hub for technology and innovation.

With a relatively low cost of living, Mesa is an ideal locale for young families, entrepreneurs and others looking for year-round sun, promising job prospects and easy access to nearby urban centers.

What to Do in Mesa, AZ

Mesa is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southwest – and it’s easy to understand why. The weather is great, with hot summers and mild winters. It has all the convenience of a big city, while also providing residents with ample space and privacy. Yet it’s safe and still (surprisingly) affordable, making it a favorite for young families. Mesa offers plenty of activity and excitement for residents and visitors of all ages.

Mesa is divided into many neighborhoods, all with their own distinct personality. For example, in the Historic Robson District, you’ll find preserved bungalows from the early 20^th century. Downtown Mesa boasts a collection of Tudor, Craftsman and adobe-style homes. Plus, the Las Sendas neighborhood’s recent development offers a range of housing to meet any lifestyle needs. Nearly all of Mesa is close to ample outdoor spaces, including trails and public parks.

At the heart of Mesa (and only a five-minute drive from our storage facility) is Mesa Riverview, a large, outdoor shopping complex on the banks of the Salt River. On busy Saturday afternoons, you’ll find crowded pedestrian walkways and eateries brimming with hungry diners. Mesa Riverview is also next door to Sloan Park, the spring training field for the Chicago Cubs. Fun fact: the dimensions of Sloan Park closely resemble Wrigley Field – so the Cubs feel right at home!

Downtown Mesa also offers a thriving cultural scene. Here, you can enjoy the Mesa Arts Center, one of the largest performing arts, visual arts and educational center in the Southwestern U.S. MAC is spread across seven acres, and the public enjoys free concerts in the outdoor plaza, a contemporary arts gallery, classes and impressive performances. Nearby is the Arizona Museum of Natural History, where visitors crowd around dinosaur skeletons, try their hand at gold panning and learn about the ancient Hohokam indigenous people. If you have young children in tow, we highly recommend the i.d.e.a Museum, centered on interactive exhibits to inspire burgeoning artists and creators.

Mesa combines rich history, dynamic entertainment and forward-thinking development to prove itself as one of the Southwest’s most in-demand destinations for raising families, working and enjoying all the best parts of life.
