If you live in Somerset, Von Ormy or the south side of San Antonio, you've probably noticed that storage in the city can mean crowded facilities, tight drive aisles and limited parking for boats and RVs. Highway 16 Self Storage in Poteet is a straightforward drive south, roughly 20 minutes from Somerset and about 35 minutes from the south side: and Highway 16 runs from San Antonio's loops straight down to our gate.
Why south-side residents head down Highway 16
Room for boats, RVs and trailers
Many city facilities don't offer outdoor parking at all, or have waitlists. Our open 11'x20' parking spaces fit most bass boats, pontoons, pop-up campers, utility trailers and work trucks, with 24/7 access to hitch up and go.
Easy loading
Our drive-up units let you back right up to the door. No elevators, no hallways, no dollies through a crowded lobby.
No traffic
Once you're south of Loop 1604, Highway 16 opens up. It's an easy drive, even with a trailer.
Fair pricing and specials
See live prices and current move-in specials and compare. For storage you won't visit every week, it's often worth the drive.
Popular uses for south Bexar County customers

Pro tip: If you're towing to the coast or down to a lease, store the trailer with us and pick it up on the way out of town, Highway 16 is already your route south.

Who makes the drive?
Our south-side customers tend to be people storing things they don't need every day: boats and campers used on weekends, furniture during a remodel, a late parent's belongings while the family sorts through them, or a business's overflow inventory. For those uses, a slightly longer drive in exchange for easy loading, open space and trailer parking is an easy trade.
If you'll need your things weekly, ask us about the best unit placement, drive-up units near the gate save time on every visit.
