Storage Solutions for Southwest Florida's Seasonal Residents

/

Naples, Florida, a popular destination for seasonal residents (snowbirds), is ranked in the top 10 destinations in the U.S. for snowbirds, according to a study from nationwide self-storage search website StorageCafe. (https://www.storagecafe.com/blog/best-places-for-snowbirds-in-the-us/) The traditional wintertime “migration” towards friendlier shores keeps gaining new clientele. As the numbers increase year over year, so do their storage needs. That is where Warehouse Services comes in to play. We can assist with the challenges of storing all their additional items accumulated while in Florida.

 

But first let’s explore a few fun facts about our snowbird population during the winter months:

 

Fun Fact #1: The Term “snowbirds” is Not New

 

The term was initially used in the early 1920s to describe migrant workers headed south for the winter. It wasn’t until the late 1970s that it transitioned to meaning northerners moving to southern states in the winter, mainly retired tourists. (However, this demographic is evolving to include non-retired folks and families.)

 

Fun Fact #2: Florida Becomes Quite Crowded in the Winter

 

The population goes up over 5% every year during the snowbird season.

 

Fun Fact #3: It’s Not Just the Weather Beaconing Snowbirds to Florida

Winter visitors don’t just seek warmer weather; they often come for their health. With all sorts of outdoor activities to enjoy under the sun, it’s easy to stay active during the winter.

 

Fun Fact #4: The Pickleball Court is Where it’s At!

Naples is considered the pickleball capital of the world, Pickleball is the fasting growing sport in America with 19.8 million players in 2024, an 48.5% increase since 2023, and it is also a low-impact sport, making it an ideal sport for various ability levels.
