This is one of a series of articles spotlighting our storage facilities and neighborhoods.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Addisleigh<\/div>\n

A few years ago, the St. Albans neighborhood of Queens would have been almost unrecognizable from the area today. Just before the U.S. housing market burst, St. Albans was a hotbed for real estate developers. The quaint streets of single-family homes were knocked down by the dozen to make way for multi-family residences. But, just as Queens\u2019 real estate market peaked, community unrest encouraged St. Albans\u2019 City Council to rezone the neighborhood, making it challenging for developers to build multi-family homes. This action has preserved the St. Albans you can experience today: quiet, tree-lined streets, buildings rarely more than two stories, and Addisleigh Park, a charming, upscale historical district.<\/p>\n

\"St.<\/a><\/div>\n

Addisleigh Park boasts spacious homes on large properties, but their historic status means they don\u2019t come cheap\u2014and that\u2019s assuming an owner is even willing to sell. For the rest of St. Albans residents, smaller homes can find the storage space they\u2019re lacking in our St. Albans self-storage <\/a>facility.<\/p>\n

We offer a free Super Move truck and driver to handle all the heavy lifting and transporting for your move-in.

\"St.<\/div>\n

Not only is the Addisleigh Park <\/a>district of Queens known for its beautiful 1920s and 1930s homes, but this little pocket between Sayres Avenue and Linden Boulevard is also famous for being home to many of jazz\u2019s greatest artists. Count Bassie, Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and John Coltrane all lived here in the midst of their musical careers. Jazz musicians weren\u2019t the only people to call the area home for a time; Jackie Robinson, the first African-American major league baseball player, and W.E.B. DuBois, a civil rights activist and writer, also settled into this neighborhood for a period of their lives. During the 40s and 50s, successful African Americans living in Harlem apartments transplanted to this neighborhood for more space and luxury.<\/p>\n
