5x15 storage unit: what fits, and what it costs
The 5x15 is hard to find: only 2,819 locations stock one, about 62% as many as carry the most common size. Where it exists the median is $75, with the cheapest tenth under $37.

What fits in a 5x15
75 square feet, roughly a large garden shed. A studio stripped of its white goods: bedframe, bookcases, a desk. At the median online rate that is $1.00 a square foot.
Cheapest markets for a 5x15
Nowhere owns the cheap end of the 5x15: its ten lowest medians are spread over 8 states. Huntsville, AL leads them at $22, 71% under the national figure, then Dayton, Amarillo and Victorville, out of 90 markets clearing the reporting bar.

Most expensive markets
Honolulu, HI leads at $225, 10.2× the Huntsville figure, but that is the country talking rather than this size. Across the 106 markets reporting a full ladder, none prices a 5x15 more than 15% away from its own level for other sizes (Savannah, GA and Kansas City over; Dayton, OH and Fayetteville under).

Is a 5x15 the right size?
Floor keeps getting cheaper through this rung. The 25 square feet a 5x15 adds over a 5x10 are charged at $0.84, against $1.08 inside the 5x10, and the rung above repeats it at $0.76. What decides is how much floor you need, not the rate, since almost every branch has one — the sparsest is Webster, TX at 30% of 27.
Online rate vs regular rate. Every listing publishes two figures and the regular rate is 1.5× the online rate at the median. That is a pricing rule, not a second quote. Figures here are the online rate (the promotional price for booking on the web) unless labelled otherwise. Budget on the regular rate.
Advertised rates for new rentals, not quotes; they move with availability. Insurance, admin fees and limited-time offers are excluded. This covers Public Storage only, which is a limit of what is collected here rather than of what exists. Not affiliated with Public Storage.
