Looking for self storage in Lancaster, CA? Purely Storage has two facilities in town, one on 10th Street West and one on East Avenue I, about 2.6 miles apart. Both are open daily, both are gated and fenced, and both offer month-to-month rentals with no admin fee. They're built a little differently, though, so the right choice depends on what you're storing and how you plan to use it.
This guide compares the two Lancaster locations side by side, covers unit sizes and sample rates, and shares tips for keeping belongings safe through Antelope Valley heat. Whether you're clearing out a garage, storing an RV, or keeping inventory for a small business, you'll know which facility to call by the end.
Why Lancaster residents rent storage
Lancaster sits in the Antelope Valley, in the high desert north of Los Angeles, and the area has a lot of room for homes, garages, and yards but not always room for everything that goes in them. People here rent storage for a few common reasons:
- Moving and downsizing. Between Lancaster, nearby Palmdale, and the surrounding communities, there's steady movement in and out of rentals and homes, and storage fills the gap between move-out and move-in.
- Garage and yard overflow. Many homes have a garage that has turned into a storage room. A unit gets the car, tools, or the kids' toys back where they belong.
- Vehicles and recreation. Open desert and room to roam mean plenty of RVs, boats, motorcycles, and off-road toys that need a safe place to sit between trips.
- Small businesses. Contractors, online sellers, and local shops use units for inventory, equipment, and records. Our business storage page has more on that.
Whatever your reason, you can browse everything on our Lancaster storage units page or jump straight to either facility below.

Choosing a unit type and size in Lancaster
Start with what you're storing. Climate-controlled storage is worth it for furniture, electronics, documents, and anything that suffers in desert heat. Drive-up storage puts your door at the curb, which makes loading tools, appliances, and boxes much easier. For larger inventory, 10th Street West also has warehouse units.
For size, our storage unit size guide shows what fits where. As a rough guide, a 5'x5' holds boxes and small furniture, a 10'x10' holds the contents of a one-bedroom apartment, and a 10'x20' holds about a one-car garage.
Here are regular monthly rates for three popular sizes as of October 2026. Many units also carry first-month or multi-month promotions, so check the facility pages for what's available today.
| Size | 10th Street West, climate-controlled | 10th Street West, drive-up | East Avenue I, drive-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5'x10' | $109 | $159 | $59 |
| 10'x10' | $141 | $154 | $101 |
| 10'x20' | not offered | $208 | $168 |
If you pick a size that turns out to be wrong, our team can move you to a different unit.
RV, boat, and vehicle storage plus desert heat tips
Both Lancaster locations offer storage for RVs, boats, motorcycles, and vehicles. Call the facility to confirm what space is open before you drive over, since larger spots go quickly.
The Antelope Valley's summers are hot and dry, and the wind can kick up dust, so a little preparation goes a long way:
- Clean everything first. Dirt and moisture trapped on a vehicle or gear can cause problems over time.
- Use climate control for sensitive items. Wood furniture, electronics, photos, and paper hold up best out of extreme heat. Our guide to storing electronics safely has more detail.
- Skip items that melt or warp. Candles, vinyl records, and some plastics don't do well in a hot unit.
- Cover vehicles and keep tires inflated. Our vehicle storage prep tips apply year-round, not just in winter.
- Leave a little airflow. Don't pack boxes tight against the walls, and raise items off the floor.
