What sizes of personal garages are available in Asheville?

Standard sizes vary from 900 square feet to 1,500 square feet with ceiling heights of 17 feet.  Larger private storage can be created by removing portions of wall in adjacent units and combining the spaces.

Each personal garage comes standard with features that every owner will want.  Each garage is outfitted with an individually metered electric heating system and thermostat, 150 amp electrical service, well-insulated doors and walls, oversized doors for ease of entry, and quality steel-frame construction.

How can I customize my storage condo to meet my needs?

You OWN your Jumbo Storage condo.  Storage ownership means you can customize your space to fit your needs.  Each storage condominium has conduit in place to facilitate the addition of phone lines, cable, and internet.  Owners may choose to upgrade their space by adding car lift systems, custom flooring, air conditioning, shelving/storage space, enhanced security, or even a big screen tv to watch the game while they work in their personal garage.  Fifteen foot mezzanines can even be constructed within the storge condo to create up to 30% more floor space – lots of room for a personal office or tv lounge!  Your Jumbo Storage salesperson can connect you with vendors in the Asheville area to help you upgrade your space.

May I finance my storage condominium?

You certainly can finance your Jumbo Storage condo.  Southern Community Bank in Asheville is offering a variety of financing options to fit your needs.  You may choose to refinance existing assets or utilize a home equity loan to purchase your unit.  Commercial financing is also available, depending on your credit and financial history.  Jumbo Storage will be glad to assist you in any way we can to help you obtain financing for your purchase.

Who takes care of the Jumbo Storage property?

The CCIOA (Carolina Common Interest Ownership Act) has been enacted to protect all condominium owners and determines how a condominium is managed.  The Act requires that all condominiums be managed by an association.  Control of the Jumbo Storage Association will be turned over to the owners when the project is sold out and will be managed by a professional management company of the owners’ choice.

Will my expenses increase over time?

If you choose to finance your purchase of a Jumbo Storage condominium, your interest rate variation over time will be determined by the loan package you choose.  Association dues have historically increased over time as inflation causes the contracts for services to the property to increase in cost.  However, the management company chosen by the owners of Jumbo Storage should do their best to keep costs low.  Any fee increases over time will be evenly distributed among owners according to the storage condominium documents.  A properly maintained reserve fund should prevent special assessments from being necessary at a low-maintenance facility such as Asheville's Jumbo Storage.

What other amenities are on site for my use?

Jumbo Storage at Glenn Willow has several low-maintenance amenities for owner use.  The Asheville property will have community restrooms located at the entrance to the facility.  A dumpster, dump station, and wash bay for vehicles will be located at the rear of the facility.  An owner’s lounge is planned for future phases of the project.

How wide is the driveway between buildings?

The driveways between buildings at Jumbo Storage range from 50 to 60 feet in width allowing even the largest 45 foot RV or trailer room to maneuver.  Plus, a 5 foot apron extends from each building as well, providing 10 more feet of aisle space for comfort.

Will there be security?

Security is a top priority at Asheville's Jumbo Storage.  Eight surveillance cameras will cover all common areas as well as the entrance to the property.  These cameras are motion activated to record all activity on the property and every person who comes or goes.  If any problem arises, we will have the activity on tape for investigation.  Individual owners may also opt to install security systems for their personal garage.

Will there be an on-site manager?

No.  Jumbo Storage at Glenn Willow is located in a stable Asheville neighborhood.  We do not feel the need to have an on-site manager in addition to the surveillance cameras.

May I lease out or resell my storage condominium?

Certainly.  Storage ownership means you are free to lease or resale it as you would any other piece of real estate, subject to the Association’s rules and regulations. Your Jumbo Storage salesperson will be glad to assist you if you wish to lease or resale your storage condo.

May I live in my private storage condominium?

No.  Regulations in Buncombe County (Asheville) prevent any owner from living in their Jumbo Storage condominium.  Both the county restrictions and the association’s rules and restrictions will reflect this mandate.  You can certainly add amenities to your personal garage to make your time there more enjoyable such as a private restroom or kitchen area, but you can not take up residence at Jumbo Storage.

May I operate a business from my storage condominium?

Buncombe County (Asheville) has imposed restrictions on the use of Jumbo Storage condos.  The type of personal storage and business storage allowed is limited to non-commercial Recreational Vehicles and prohibits retail activity on the property.  You can operate your non-retail business from your Jumbo Storage condominium.  Limited parking facilities would prohibit operating a retail business with customer visits.

May I work on my vehicle in my personal garage?

Absolutely.  Many owners of storage condominiums in similar developments enjoy working on their RVs, collectible cars, and motorcycles in their personal garage.  They are perfectly designed for just that purpose.  However, you may not work on your vehicles in the common areas.  Common areas are to be kept tidy and clean at all times for the convenience of all owners.

May I use my personal garage for a hobby/workshop?

Of course, having your own space to work on projects and hobbies is one of the joys of storage ownership.  There will be restrictions in the association documents, however, to prevent any one owner from creating problems with noise, dust, or fumes.

May I access my unit 24/7?

Definitely.  Jumbo Storage condominiums are owned storage.  Owners can come and go as you please.
