Neighbor.com Launches in Dallas

Neighbor.com has expanded into Dallas, Texas, the second-largest self-storage market in the nation. The company offers a sustainable alternative to traditional self-storage that allows local residents to rent out extra space in their homes to their neighbors. The arrangement allows homeowners to accumulate monthly passive income. “Texas is the second largest self-storage market in the United States, so it’s fitting that Neighbor’s peer-to-peer storage marketplace has grown organically in Dallas, where many homeowners are looking for reliable passive income and renters want to save an average of 50% on storage,” said Joseph Woodbury, CEO and co-founder of Neighbor.com. “Neighbor.com has been rapidly expanding by word of mouth across the U.S., but now is the right time to build out our community management team in Dallas to bolster access to storage for one of the most in-demand storage regions in the country. This team, along with our increased investment in new front- and back-end technologies, will ensure DFW residents continue to have unmatched access to safe and affordable storage options.” Neighbor connects “renters” in need of storage space with “hosts” in their neighborhood who are willing to lease extra storage space in their home or garage. Renters can store anything from boats to furniture to boxes of extra stuff in nearby basements, sheds and garages for half the cost of traditional storage options.
