Monterey Peninsula residents love their cars — and cars love the Monterey Peninsula. Its windswept vistas. Steel-blue stretches of ocean. The magnificent, soaring heights of Big Sur and miles of winding back roads. Our local love affair with the automobile is further reinforced by Monterey Car Week, which draws auto enthusiasts from around the world to the Monterey Peninsula every August.

But, here’s the irony. For an area that reveres the car as much as we do, there aren’t enough places to safely and securely store these treasured machines. Many of the quaint cottages and homes in places such as Carmel have no garages. While a number of the newer condos are being built with minimal provisions for garages.

If you’ve ever considered mini-storage, you know that isn’t really an answer. Fortunately, now there’s Garage Unlimited of Monterey — the Monterey Peninsula’s premier garage and storage condo complex, with a total of 46 units ranging from 1,384 to 2,700 sq. ft.

Garage Unlimited of Monterey offers spacious, clean, first-class garage condos on a scale that dwarfs a mini-storage unit. Ceilings of up to 25 feet with inviting mezzanines that can be customized into comfy retreats. Roll-up doors that are 10-12 feet wide by 14 feet high — plus a standard walk-in door. All in a completely fenced environment with access-controlled gates, video surveillance and individual unit alarms.

To arrange a tour and see how quickly construction is progressing contact Ernie Lostrom in his office at Ryan Ranch – ernie@lostrom.com or call (831) 646-1000. But don’t wait — sales have surged as our grand opening draws near and inventory is going fast.
