The New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA CBSA is one of the strongest markets for Self Storage. This can be attributed to a multitude of factors like its high population density. Over half the population in this market are renters and the median household income is over $130,000.
People are always moving in and out of the NYC metropolitan area as well. This combined with the demographic make up has created a perfect storm for Self Storage demand. New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA CBSA has also been hailed as a high barrier to entry market. Developers need to get through plenty of hurdles and zoning restrictions in order to find a deal that works.
Despite this, the NYC Metropolitan area has consistently added new supply over the past few years.
