Furniture storage and box for rent • Aulnay-Sous-Bois

Aulnay-Sous-Bois is a popular transit town for people looking to leave Paris in search of more space, or for those wanting to move closer to the capital without paying premium prices. Renting a self-storage unit during a move can ease certain transitions, especially if you have already given notice on your current home or sold it without yet finding your next one. It allows you to take a smaller temporary rental and get to know the area so you can settle in the neighbourhood that best suits your lifestyle.

Renting a storage space can sometimes help you avoid moving altogether by placing unused toys, clothes, school supplies or furniture in a storage unit. The space you reclaim can, in some cases, be equivalent to gaining an entire extra room! This is particularly valuable when your family is growing, when you want to carry out some renovation work while continuing to live in your home, or when you discover a new hobby that requires purchasing additional equipment.

Sole traders, craftspeople and retailers all need space to store tools, equipment or stock. A self-storage unit in Seine-Saint-Denis means small-scale creators no longer have to keep their products at home, and businesses no longer need to find larger commercial premises just to have adequate storage space. Self-storage is an intermediate solution that limits financial risk for start-up entrepreneurs and small businesses alike. While there is a minimum rental period of a few weeks, you are free to cancel your contract at any time and without giving a reason — or equally, to keep your space for years.

With the continuous rise in rental prices, many young professionals choose to start their careers while staying with their parents or moving into a small studio, leaving most of their belongings at the family home. Renting a storage unit gives them a sense of independence and prevents the family home — which may already be cramped — from becoming even more cluttered. And since self-storage costs less per square metre than residential accommodation, storing their belongings is a smart way to make some welcome early savings.

The advantage of Aulnay-Sous-Bois and the surrounding towns lies in their location. Situated between Bobigny and Villepinte, the town has a lower cost of living (and therefore lower rents) than the capital. Square metres are more affordable here, while easy access is maintained via the A3, A104 and RER B. Several of our clients do not even live in eastern Paris but choose to store their belongings in Roissy, for example, to benefit from lower prices. That said, we do have self-storage units within central Paris for private individuals or professionals who need quick and easy access to their belongings.
