Built by Geeks, Owned by Humans
For the last fifteen years, we have been building and marketing Garage Condominiums in key areas of the west coast. In fact we were the originators of Garage Condominiums with our first project in Beaumont California, Eucalyptus at Beaumont, begun in 2007. Since then we have made our presence known in Palm Springs California, Coachella California, Prescott Arizona, and now Minden Nevada. It has always been our passion to create "out of the box" properties, while keeping a keen eye towards the utilitarian aspects of condominium storage. I guess you could say we "Geek Out" on our projects.
Think of these as Self Storage on steroids. Garages from 600 square feet up to about 3,000 square feet. Additionally, you own your garage condo, just like any other Nevada real estate. You receive a Deed, Builder provided Title Insurance, and the transaction is conducted through title or escrow. You pay property taxes, and an HOA fee of about .12 cents per square foot, per month, or about $90 per month on a 750 square foot garage. Additionally, you can access your garage at any time, and customize it to exactly what you want.
Fair question. So, why rent storage? You will never see a return on your investment. Your monthly fees are certain to go up and up. You are limited to the access hours set by the facility owner, and you are very limited as to what you can do inside your storage locker if anything at all. What if your needs required a large garage greater the 1,000 square feet? Your options are pretty much non-existent, or at the very least very limited.
Garage condominiums are a fast-growing real estate niche designed for people who need more than ordinary storage. These privately owned, oversized garages function like customizable spaces where owners can store RVs, boats, car collections, business inventory, or build out a man cave. Unlike traditional self-storage, garage condos offer real property ownership, security, utilities, and the freedom to finish the interior however you like—adding mezzanines, custom flooring, lighting and the list goes on. They blend practicality with lifestyle, giving owners a place to protect their assets while also creating a retreat tailored to their passions.
I bought a Garage Condo at the Beaumont California location. I have had it for about 6 years now. In the past, I was renting storage like so many others. Not only does ownership allow me the freedom to do pretty much what I want, but also provides a nice return on my investment. I have not sold my garage, but others who have sold their's shows my investment has doubled in value. How does that get any better?

I had the chance to buy one of these about 10 years ago. Boy, am I kicking myslf now. They have appreciated by about 250% and trying to find a resale garage to buy is nearly impossible. They sell within days of being listed. I am still looking and I hope one of these comes up so I can jump on it.

I really enjoy my garage condo that is located in the Coachella Valley. If is very convienient and offers a great place for me to relax and maybe actually do a little "wrenching" on my Hot Rod. I am glad I bought my garage.
