About Gardnerville

Gardnerville is a small community in Douglas County, located on the western border of Nevada. Along with its closet neighbors, Minden and Genoa, it helps make up the Carson Valley. It's roughly a 15-minute drive from Carson City, Nevada's state capital. The local population has grown steadily in recent years, driven by the city's historical charm, revitalized downtown area and convenient location.

The History of Gardnerville

Danish settlers who arrived in the area in the 1870s became some of the first residents of Gardnerville. In 1879, Lawrence Gilman established a home near the eastern fork of the Carson River. His was the first home in the area, and the community continued to grow from there. The settlement was named Gardnerville for one of Gilman's close friends, John Gardner.

Spanish and French Basque people began arriving in 1898, typically making their living as shepherds and later as inn and restaurant proprietors. A newly-established hotel served as the hub of the city, accompanied by a saloon and blacksmith shop that rounded out the agricultural town.

Today, Gardnerville is home to several thousand residents. While much has changed since its early days, Basque restaurants continue to draw travelers to this small Nevada neighborhood, and farming has also remained a key industry in Gardnerville.

Jobs in Gardnerville

Although the unemployment rate in Gardnerville is higher than the national average, job growth has been positive. Unemployment has been steadily dropping as the local economy improves, which is good news if you're planning to look for a job in the city.

A large percentage of Gardnerville's working population hold sales, office and administrative support positions. The city also has many residents who work in the fields of construction, extraction, maintenance and repairs, production, transportation and material moving.

Gardnerville Housing

Median home prices are more than double the national average, and housing options are somewhat limited due to the city's small geographical footprint. However, many properties represent excellent value for the money, as they are typically on spacious blocks spanning an acre or more.

The Ranchos community offers small family homes, town houses and condos, while the contemporary Chichester Estates is a great option if you'd prefer to live closer to Gardnerville's downtown precinct.

Self Storage FAQs

Self-storage prices vary by location, unit size, features, and availability. Smaller units typically cost less than larger ones, and indoor and climate-controlled units may be priced differently than standard units. Public Storage offers month-to-month rentals, so you only pay for the time you need.

Specials vary by location and unit type, so checking current rates and promotions in your area is the best way to find the most up-to-date offers.

Start by taking inventory of what you plan to store and how often you'll need to access it. A small 5x5 unit often fits boxes or small household items, while medium sizes like 10x10 work well for multiple rooms' worth of belongings. Larger units, such as 10x20 or 10x30, are designed for bigger items or business needs.

Indoor Storage Units: Located inside a building with hallway access.

Outdoor Drive-Up Units: Ground-level units you can drive up to for quick loading and unloading.

Climate-Controlled Units: Designed to help maintain more consistent temperature and humidity levels. Availability varies by location.

Vehicle Storage: Options may include parking spaces or enclosed units for cars or small trailers.

RV or Boat Storage: Typically offered as open or covered parking spaces at select locations.

Business Storage: Units suited for storing inventory, equipment, or supplies without the cost of commercial property.

Features and availability vary by facility.

Climate-controlled storage helps maintain more consistent temperature and humidity levels inside the unit. It's commonly used for items like books, fabrics, electronics, or other belongings that can react to extreme heat, cold, or humidity. Climate-controlled storage is available at many—but not all—locations, so availability depends on the facility.

Drive-up access refers to a ground-level storage unit that you can pull your vehicle right up to. This makes loading and unloading quicker because you don't need to use hallways, elevators, or stairs. It's often chosen for storing larger items or boxes you'll want to move in and out easily.

Some storage facilities offer 24/7 access as an added feature, while others provide extended access hours. Availability varies by property, so it's best to check your location's access hours when renting a unit.

Common security features include:
• Gated access with individualized entry codes
• Bright lighting throughout the property
• Onsite staff during office hours
• Video surveillance
• Well-maintained fencing and facility grounds
• Storage unit locks available for purchase

Features can vary widely by location, so reviewing your facility's offerings is recommended.

Convenience depends on your needs, but many renters prefer:
• Drive-up units for fast loading
• Indoor units for hallway access and comfortable entry
• 24/7 access where available
• Month-to-month rentals
• Locations near home, work, or major roads
• Online account management and payment options

Public Storage maintains facilities with routine property checks, regular cleaning of common areas, and ongoing pest-control efforts. We also provide clean, well-kept hallways and entry points, and staff monitor the property throughout the week.

Storage Solutions for Different Needs

People use self-storage for many different purposes, and the right unit often depends on how long you plan to store items and how often you’ll visit. Because every Public Storage location offers its own mix of sizes, layouts, and features, customers can choose a space that fits their day-to-day routine or upcoming plans.

Common uses include:

  • Business storage: Many small businesses and independent contractors use self-storage as an extension of their workspace. Units can help organize inventory, tools, supplies, samples, or seasonal equipment without the need for additional office or commercial space. Drive-up units and extended access hours at many locations can also make it easier to load or unload between jobs.
  • College and university storage: Students often need a place to keep belongings during summer break, study-abroad programs, or short-term housing transitions. A small unit can simplify the shift between dorms, apartments, or shared housing by keeping everything in one place until the next semester begins.
  • Moving and life changes: Self-storage is a flexible option during moves, renovations, and reorganizing projects. Whether you’re preparing a home for sale, settling into a new space, or arranging rooms one step at a time, extra room can help you stay organized and keep pathways clear while you pack or rearrange items.
  • Military storage: Frequent relocations, trainings, or temporary assignments can create gaps between homes or require extra space during transitions. A self-storage unit can offer a consistent place to keep belongings during moves or periods when housing arrangements change. With a variety of sizes available across many locations, customers can choose a unit that aligns with their timelines and storage needs.
  • Long-term planning: Some customers choose a unit for items they want to set aside for longer periods, keep in reserve, or revisit seasonally. Having a consistent storage space outside the home can make larger organizational projects more manageable and free up room inside closets, garages, or spare rooms. • Sports equipment storage: From bikes and surfboards to golf clubs and seasonal gear, sports equipment can take up space at home. A storage unit helps keep bulky items organized and accessible between seasons, practices, or trips.
  • Holiday item storage: Self-storage makes it easier to pack away holiday items once the season ends and pull them out again when it’s time to decorate.
  • Travel and extended time away: Whether you’re preparing for a long trip, extended work assignment, or temporary relocation, a storage unit can help simplify packing and planning. Items you don’t need to take along can be put away until you return, helping reduce clutter.
  • Decluttering and organization projects: Many customers use self-storage as part of a larger decluttering effort. Moving items out temporarily can make it easier to sort, organize, and decide what to keep.
  • Home renovation and remodeling: Renovation projects often require clearing rooms to allow work to move forward. A storage unit provides a place to put away furniture, decor, and household items while updates are underway, helping keep rooms open and projects organized from start to finish.
  • Hobby and passion projects: Creative pursuits and collections can grow over time. Self-storage offers extra room for supplies, equipment, or works-in-progress that don’t fit neatly into everyday living areas, while still remaining easy to access when inspiration strikes.
  • Emergency or unexpected situations: Life doesn’t always follow a schedule. During sudden changes—such as repairs, relocations, or temporary housing shifts—a storage unit can help bridge the gap by keeping belongings organized until plans become clearer.
  • Personal relationship changes: Transitions such as separations or household changes can involve reorganizing living arrangements over time. Self-storage provides flexibility during these periods, allowing customers to manage belongings at their own pace while plans take shape.
  • Moving from another storage provider: Customers switching from a different storage company often use Public Storage to reorganize. With a range of unit sizes and features available across many locations, it’s easier to choose a space that aligns with new plans or changing storage needs.

Across all these situations, customers can select the size and features that match their plans—whether that’s a compact 5×5 unit for a brief period or a 10x20 unit for ongoing projects, business use, or a home transition that unfolds over several months. Each facility offers different options, making it easy to compare locations and choose a space that aligns with your storage goals.
