Condo RV storage facility proves popular
BEAUMONT, Calif., March 13 -- RV storage condominiums offer a solution to the growing problem of RV storage and parking. Many cities throughout the country are passing regulations prohibiting the parking of large RVs on city streets or in the yards of residents. High land costs make new RV storage facilities financially unfeasible.
And all the while the recreational vehicle market is rapidly expanding, while the availability of storage is shrinking. That equals higher storage prices.
Eucalyptus at Beaumont, a private storage community in Southern California is the brainchild of owner/developer Ted Deits. "Up until now the only alternative to RV storage was to rent a space. Now, we are offering fully enclosed garage type storage designed specifically for the storage of recreational vehicles that are owned, not rented," said Deits. "Storage rental rates have risen so high, it now makes perfect economic sense to purchase your storage."
When it is completed, Eucalyptus at Beaumont will offer 112 enclosed garage-style storage with all units designed to house even the largest RV, built on 4.5 acres of land.
The first sales phase of 30 units was released in October of 2006, and sold out in two days. Phase 2 with 48 units was released on July 9, 2007, to a waiting list of more than 900 people. "That phase took about three weeks to sell out," Deits said.
"When we executed this idea two years ago, we felt only the well-heeled would be buyers," Deits said. "As it turns out, the regular Joe's are snapping these up. All but one of these units has been sold to people on average 70 miles away. Ten were sold to Hawaii residents and one in Australia. Several buyers have purchased multiple units. With unit prices starting in the mid $50 thousand range, it competes well with the rental market."
Ownership is the same as traditional residential condominiums. There is no underlying land lease.
A 2700-sq.-ft. clubhouse with a big screen TV, showers, LEED compatible interiors, and numerous RV specific amenities also complement the project.
"Our design from the start was to provide an upscale, safe, easily accessible RV storage alternative. Push one button on your provided remote control, and the security gates opens and the burglar alarm in your unit is disabled. Push the second button and the door to your unit opens and the lights are turned on for you. Isle widths are a comfortable 71 feet wide for easy turning."
