Leaving the bustle of Albuquerque for the serene landscapes of the East Mountains is more than just a change of address—it’s a lifestyle transformation. For many residents making the short but significant drive east on I-40, settling into Tijeras represents a commitment to cleaner air, quieter nights, and a closer connection to nature.
However, this transition often brings a common logistical hurdle: space. Whether you are downsizing from a city home to a mountain cabin or simply accumulating the gear necessary to enjoy your new surroundings, managing your belongings is a critical part of the move. At Tijeras Mini Storage, located conveniently at 1376 NM 333, Unit D, we specialize in helping new residents bridge the gap between city living and mountain life with secure, accessible self-storage options.
One of the biggest adjustments for new residents in Bernalillo County's East Mountains is the weather. Unlike the high desert heat of the valley, Tijeras features a continental climate characterized by mild, arid to semi-arid conditions. Here, you will experience abundant sunshine and low humidity, but you will also navigate four distinct seasons.
The shift from hot, dry summers to cold winters with snow is what makes this area so enchanting, but it also dictates what you need to own—and store.
Because the local climate in Tijeras is influenced by its mountainous location, the temperature swing—both daily and annually—is significant. This variance often forces homeowners to rotate their household items seasonally. You don't want bulky winter gear cluttering your garage in July, nor do you want patio furniture taking up precious indoor space in January. This is where seasonal storage becomes vital for maintaining an organized home in the 87059 zip code.
Moving to Tijeras places you on the doorstep of some of New Mexico's most beautiful landmarks. You are minutes away from the historic Tijeras Pueblo, the solemn and beautiful Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the recreational trails at Pine Flats.
Enjoying these local treasures requires gear. From ATVs and mountain bikes for the trails to RVs for weekend getaways, the East Mountains lifestyle is equipment-intensive. Many properties in the mountains have strict covenants regarding outdoor storage, or simply lack the garage space to protect expensive toys from the elements.
Tijeras Mini Storage offers the perfect extension of your garage. Instead of stuffing your kayaks into a crawl space or leaving your tools exposed to the mountain sun, you can utilize our varied unit sizes to keep your adventure gear ready for the next outing.
We understand that no two moves are the same. That is why we offer a robust selection of unit sizes designed to accommodate everything from a few boxes of documents to a whole household of furniture or a workshop’s worth of tools.
Our Current Unit Configurations Include:
Note: All rentals require a $50 reservation deposit, which is fully credited back on your first rental invoice.
