\"Mott<\/div>\n

When moving to or around New York City, renters often look for cozy neighborhoods, an arts scene, unique restaurants, and as much space \u2013 both indoor and outdoor \u2013 as they can get. Usually, these wants, as well as The Bronx\u2019s past reputation, make The Bronx an easy borough to rule out in the apartment search. However, apartment-hunters are learning that The Bronx, especially The South Bronx, has all of these neighborhood amenities in addition to more affordable rents than its neighboring boroughs.<\/p>\n

Mott Haven is a quaint, desirable neighborhood renters can stumble upon in The Bronx where three areas of the neighborhood have been deemed historical districts. One of these districts lies along parts of East 139th and 140th Streets between Willis and Brook Avenues. Here, beautifully detailed 19th-century brownstones host families of all ages on their iconic stoops. While housing in the historic districts remains more affordable than most of New York City, square footage is still hard to come by making our Mott Haven self-storage<\/a> facility a simple solution.<\/p>\n

Mott Haven Apartments vs. Storage Cost Analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On East 138th Street, less than a mile from our Brook Avenue CubeSmart, a 1-bedroom apartment rental starts at $1,599 for 700 square feet. A 2-bedroom starts at $2,200 for 1,100 square feet. For that one extra bedroom on the same block, you\u2019ll pay an additional $600 every month. If you are looking for an extra bedroom as a means of storage and not a for a roommate, you could save $406 a month by renting a 10×10 climate-controlled storage unit at CubeSmart. For about $194 a month (as of 8\/1\/16), a 10×10 climate-controlled storage unit fits the contents of a standard 2-bedroom apartment (sharpen your Tetris skills). You can keep your 1-bedroom Mott Haven apartment, and conveniently store seasonal items, clothing, mementos, and more. Put that $400 a month you would have spent to good use elsewhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what our recent Brook Avenue customer Liz74 wrote about her experience:<\/p>\n

\u201cI recently rented a unit at the Brook street location in the Bronx and since I made the first phone call, I noticed their customer service (especially Shaun) is very professional and very kind. Once I went to the storage in person they explained everything very clear to me, also they have a nice offer for the unit I rented and provided me with a free truck to bring my belongings in (most storage places don’t do this). If you want a place with excellent security, good deals, good location, clean and very nice customer service, then this is the storage place you should pick as I did. I would give them A+ and recommended to all my friends.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
