5x5 Self-Storage in Grand Prairie

Grand Prairie, TX is a great place to rent small storage units.

Grand Prairie began its existence as a town named Dechman, and it was named after a man who bought property in the area in the early 1860s. After the arrival of the railroad and a post office later in the century, the area would see its named changed to Grand Prairie. Local mapmakers and the railroad operators had begun referring to the region as the "grand prairie of Texas," so the name was eventually given to the town, too.

The city wouldn't become incorporated until 1909, and the town's residents would create an important defense and aviation industry to support the country during the First World War and the country's successive conflicts. During the Second World War, Grand Prairie was home to a North American Aviation plant, and the plant was responsible for building the Consolidated B-24 Liberator.

Today, Grand Prairie boasts a healthy population of more than 175,000 and is sandwiched between Dallas on the east and Arlington on the west. Fort Worth is also to the west, so Grand Prairie is quite literally in the center of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Other well-known communities near Grand Prairie include Irving, Grapevine, and Carrollton.

Record Highs and Record Lows Need Climate Controlled Self-Storage

Many people who aren't from Texas assume the entire state is warm all year long and is blisteringly hot in the summer. However, Grand Prairie actually experiences regular seasons with average highs in the winter reaching an average of just 56 degrees in January and an average of 96 degrees in August. These large variations in temperature mean that climate controlled self storage units in Grand Prairie are quite valuable for keeping fragile possessions in good condition no matter the weather.

One of the benefits of climate controlled storage is that the steady temperature also reduces the changes in humidity, which can impact certain items people choose to store. Wide variations in temperature and large changes in humidity can increase the rate at which cardboard boxes age, and climate control is the best way to ensure boxes last as long as possible to protect their contents.

Convenient Self-Storage Units for Growing Families

Grand Prairie residents may experience large variations in temperature during the year, and a self-storage unit is an excellent way to store items that would otherwise sit in the garage and experience large swings in temperature during the year. For example, a young family might want to store baby clothes and toys after one child outgrows them but before the family welcomes a new addition.

Right before the new baby is born, the family can bring the minivan or SUV over to a drive-up self-storage unit in Grand Prairie and load up all the toys and infant clothing to return them to the house. It's helpful for parents to have those valuable items on hand until the next child is born but have the option to store the items in a safe, secure place like a self-storage unit.
