People living and working in suburbs like Coburg, Essendon and all around North Melbourne often use All in Self Storage for their belongings. Part of this has to do with our location’s convenience, but there are many other reasons, too. Many of these areas are well-known for offering a mix of old and new housing, alongside history and culture, driving demand for renovation storage space and from renters trying to stuff everything into a few rooms. 

Renters with limited space often demand to use our services. They need room for bicycles, kayaks, off-road vehicles and furniture that won’t fit into their rooms or aren’t allowed on their property. 

North Melbourne is home to numerous rental properties; more than other areas like Coburg, Coburg North, Ascot Vale and Essendon. Being closer to Melbourne CBD, it has a lot of smaller units that lack space, so many of our customers are from this location. 

With that said, two- and three-bedroom apartment owners still need to be careful about the number of belongings they buy. Many use us as overflow backup to avoid throwing away stuff they want to keep.

Families wanting to renovate are another group that uses our self-storage services in the surrounding area. For example, Coburg is a well-known family-friendly suburb with the Coburg Primary School and High School along with plenty of parks and open green spaces. Median house prices are quite high here, which increases the demand for space. 

Renovation activity in this area is also quite high because of the wealth of owners and the preponderance of period-style and Victorian properties. Local people often want to update their living spaces to meet modern standards while maintaining the character of the area. 

Essendon is also known for its family appeal thanks to Essendon Primary and St Therese’s School, public transport systems and tree-lined streets. Families in the area are jumping on the local warehouse-apartment conversion trend, using self-storage to modernise properties while keeping belongings off-site. 

Lastly, Ascot Vale to North Melbourne is popular among families who are renovating properties. With median home prices over $1.3 million, people living in this area have the wealth to invest in their homes and need storage to protect their possessions during the building work. Many have period homes, like Victorian weatherboards, they want to transform into modern family spaces.

Tradies are also using All in Self Storage in suburbs close to CityLink’s exits. Electricians, plumbers and builders need a location to keep tools and other items while working on various jobs. 

CityLink facilitates quick access to various jobsite locations in Melbourne, connecting several freeways, the CBD and the port. Coburg is accessible via CityLink’s Western Link via the Brunswick Road exits, providing tradies with routes they can use to avoid busy city roads. Nearby self-storage is highly accessible and allows tradies to grab the things they need quickly before hopping back on CityLink and traveling to their next location. 

Coburg North has the same CityLink exit as Coburg but is a little further away. Even so, the area has strong renovation demand, so tradies are also using sites like ours to keep their tools and supplies while serving households in this area. 

Meanwhile, Essendon is another stop-off on tradie rounds, accessible via CityLink from the Flemington Road or Mount Alexander Road off the Tullamarine Freeway. These exits allow tradies to quickly access this high-demand and wealthy area, providing building work for uptown period homes and dwellings.

North Melbourne also offers fast access to CityLink via Dynon Road and Flemington Road, making it a strategic base for tradies working across the inner north and west, especially those navigating between jobs in the CBD, West Melbourne, and nearby heritage suburbs.
