3 storage facilities in Cherry Hill, NJ are listed on SelfStorage.com's facility network. 3 is in fact the average number of facilities for each city in New Jersey. Among these 113 cities, Cherry Hill ranks as the 35th largest in terms of facility count, with 0.85% of the market. Cherry Hill may be perfectly average for a city in NJ, but on a national scale it actually has fewer facilities than most cities--6 fewer than the national average of 9, to be exact.

But of course, there are vast differences in population between Cherry Hill and other cities in New Jersey, and even more so nationwide, so not controlling for population makes little sense. Approximately 71,045 people live in Cherry Hill, NJ. Is that a large population for a city with 3 self-storage facilities, or a small one? In comparing Cherry Hill with cities of a similar population, we were able to discover that Cherry Hill is not exactly stock-full of an over-abundance of self-storage facilities. Seeing as cities in its 50,000 to 100,000 population group average approximately 11 each (8 facilities more than the 3 operating in Cherry Hill), it's easy to make the firm conclusion that Cherry Hill is not as well-stocked with extra storage space as other cities are. One may of course argue that measuring Cherry Hill against cities of a like size isn't the best yardstick and does not prove that there are few storage facilities for the number of people who live there. In order to address these concerns we've looked at Cherry Hill's facilities per person, which seems to have corroborated our former conclusions. For a city of 71,045, 3 self-storage facilities is not a high number at all: in fact, Cherry Hill only places in the 7th percentile for facilities per capita in United States cities, indicating a meager level of storage coverage. Even when we only compare Cherry Hill to other cities in its state, it still appears to have relatively little self-storage space for the size of its population, coming in at the 14th percentile for facilities per capita among cities in New Jersey.

Cherry Hill, NJ storage price seasonality: Why it's better to book in October than July

As self storage is a seasonal industry, the rates you're seeing now may be very different from those on the same unit at the same facility a few months down the road. The high season lasts from late spring to late summer, the most popular period for those moving into a new home. National Moving Day (the day following Memorial Day) is typically seen as the first real day of the high season and is often the busiest day of the year for storage facilities. Those looking for storage in areas with a large population of college students might find that seasonality affects prices on smaller unit sizes in particular, as students book 5x5s and 5x10s to store their things while they go home for the summer.

Cherry Hill is not as affected by seasonality as other cities, with storage prices experiencing smaller price fluctuations than elsewhere. However, even though prices are less likely to change dramatically in Cherry Hill, locking in a rate for your entire stay often allows you to bargain the total price down. July is the most expensive month for storage in Cherry Hill, with an average price of $120.01.
