Self Storage Units in Schertz, TX: A Local Guide
Schertz isn't the small stop between San Antonio and New Braunfels it used to be. New rooftops, new businesses, and a lot more traffic on I-35 have turned "storage near me" into an actual comparison shopping exercise for a lot of local residents, rather than a default choice between whatever's closest. Our Schertz location at 18913 I-35 North sits directly on that corridor, and a few things about it are worth knowing before you pick a facility further from home out of habit.
Who Rents Self Storage in Schertz, and Why
Most of the people who rent here fall into a few groups. There are families in Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, and Garden Ridge who've outgrown a garage or are in the middle of a move. There are commuters who drive I-35 every day and would rather store things on their route than detour across town. There are military families dealing with a PCS or a deployment. And there are small businesses that need a place to keep inventory or equipment.
The population is a big part of this. Schertz has grown quickly, and growth means moves, renovations, and downsizing, which is when most people go looking for a unit.
How to Pick a Storage Unit Size in Schertz
The range at this location runs from a 5'x10' up through 12'x30' units built for full households or business inventory that needs real square footage. A 10'x10' is usually enough for a one-bedroom apartment's worth of furniture and boxes. For bigger loads, there are 20'x20' and 24'x30' drive-up units with double doors, and a 10'x12' indoor option adds climate control.
If you're unsure, start with our storage unit size guide and match a unit to your move, remodel, or business needs. Pricing scales with size the way you'd expect, but promotional starting rates take a meaningful percentage off the regular monthly cost across several sizes, so the sticker price on the smallest unit isn't necessarily what a larger one runs.
Climate Controlled or Drive-Up: What Are You Storing?
The choice between the two comes down to what's actually going into the unit.
Climate controlled storage holds temperature between 50 and 80 degrees and humidity between 30 and 50 percent, which is the range that keeps wood furniture from warping, electronics from failing early, and documents or photos from degrading the way they would in a Texas garage over a full summer. At this location, that's the 10'x12' indoor unit. We wrote more about this in our post on climate controlled storage in Schertz.
Drive-up storage skips that in exchange for speed. You pull a truck directly up to the door instead of hauling everything through an interior hallway, which matters most if you're making repeated trips rather than one clean move-in. It works well for tools, seasonal gear, furniture, and anything bulky.
A simple way to decide: if you'd worry about leaving it in a Texas garage in August, look at climate controlled. If you mostly care about getting it in and out quickly, drive-up usually makes more sense.
RV, Boat, and Car Storage in Schertz, TX
Most neighborhoods around Schertz have ordinances against parking large vehicles on the street, and many residential streets are narrow enough that a boat or RV sticks out into the road. Some RVs and boats are too big for a driveway to begin with.
If that's your situation, we have outdoor parking spaces at this location for your RV, boat, or extra car, and the lot is right off I-35, which makes it easy to pick your vehicle up when you're ready for a trip. We recommend putting a cover on your vehicle, if available, to protect it from the sun, rain, and other weather. A coat of wax helps too.
Measure your vehicle's full length before you reserve, including the hitch or ladder if it has one, and compare it with the space size. Our guide to RV and boat storage in Schertz covers what to check, and you can see all of our vehicle storage options if you'd like to compare locations.
Bluetooth Smart Entry: Access From Your Phone
Bluetooth access sounds like a small thing until it's the reason you're not stuck outside a gate at 9pm trying to remember a four-digit code that got changed last month. Instead of a shared code the whole property uses, access here runs through your phone. It's individual to each renter and harder to lose than a key or a code on a sticky note.
It's built into several of the unit types on this property, not reserved for the most expensive ones. You can read how it works on our keyless smart entry page.
Business Storage in Schertz
Commercial storage gets less attention than the household side of the business, but it's a real option for Schertz businesses that have outgrown a stockroom or need overflow space for seasonal inventory. The same drive-up units that work well for a moving truck work just as well for a business making regular pickups and drop-offs, without having to route deliveries through a retail floor first.
Storage for Military Families Near Joint Base San Antonio
Randolph Air Force Base is about 15 minutes south of this location, and Joint Base San Antonio is a big part of the community. We offer a military storage discount to those stationed at JBSA, so ask about it when you reserve. If you're packing up for a PCS or a deployment, our military storage options page explains what's available.
Why the I-35 Location Matters
Sitting directly on I-35 between San Antonio and New Braunfels means this facility serves a wider area than Schertz proper. Renters come from Cibolo, Selma, Garden Ridge, and anywhere along the corridor who would rather store belongings on their route than make a detour.
If another stop fits your drive better, we also have New Braunfels, Converse, and Garden Ridge nearby. You can see every option on our San Antonio storage units page.
