Answer: A 10×10 (~100 sq ft) is one of the most searched sizes in Houston — roughly enough for a one- to two-bedroom apartment’s furniture and boxes when packed carefully. On 2026-10-26, Public Storage’s Houston locator listed an average 10×10 at $76/month and a lowest advertised 10×10 at $28/month (https://www.publicstorage.com/self-storage-tx-houston/). A U-Haul Meyerland facility page the same day listed indoor climate 10×10 at $169.95/month and drive-up 10×10 at $154.95/month (https://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Self-Storage-near-Houston-TX-77074/930086/).
Cited Houston figures (2026-10-26)
Public Storage — Houston network averages (city locator). Source: https://www.publicstorage.com/self-storage-tx-houston/ (seen 2026-10-26). Average 10×10: $76 / month. Lowest advertised 10×10 on that locator: $28 / month. These are Public Storage’s published Houston averages/lows for that size tier — not a promise for every Public Storage address, and not applicable to other brands.
U-Haul Meyerland example (facility page). Source: https://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Self-Storage-near-Houston-TX-77074/930086/ (seen 2026-10-26). Indoor climate 10′×10′×8.5′: $169.95 / month (1-year price lock promotion noted on page). Drive-up 10′×10′×8′: $154.95 / month.
Climate-controlled indoor 10×10s typically price higher than non-climate or upper-level units when both are offered.
Why quotes differ so widely
Climate control vs. standard; drive-up / ground floor vs. upper level; neighborhood (central Loop vs. outer west / southwest); active promotions (first-month specials, price locks); required protection plans or admin fees (ask the facility).
What to do next
1. Decide climate vs. drive-up. 2. Pull live rates from two facilities in Houston listings. 3. Call to confirm first-month total (rent + fees + lock/insurance). We do not invent a single citywide “average 10×10 price” beyond the branded sources above.
