Southeast Houston is boat-and-truck country. With Clear Lake, Kemah and Galveston Bay a short drive south and plenty of work trucks and trailers on the road, a lot of households here own more vehicles than their driveway can hold. Add city parking rules, deed restrictions and narrow streets, and finding a safe place for the boat or camper becomes a real problem.
Almeda Genoa Storage, at 9601 Almeda Genoa Rd, Houston, TX 77075, was built for exactly this. Here's how to choose the right space.
Step 1: Know your options
| Space | Best for |
|---|---|
| Open parking (20' × 10') | Cars, trucks, motorcycles, jet skis, utility trailers up to ~18' |
| Carport (covered) | Cars and trucks that need sun and hail protection |
| Boat & RV stall (24' × 10', 12' clearance) | Boats on trailers, pop-ups, small travel trailers, enclosed trailers up to ~24' |
| Shipping container (28' × 8' × 9') | Household goods, tools, materials, inventory |
| Food truck space (paved) | Food trucks and concession trailers |
Step 2: Measure correctly
- Boats: measure from the tip of the trailer tongue to the back of the outboard or swim platform. A "20-foot boat" is often 24' or more on its trailer.
- RVs and campers: measure hitch to bumper, and check roof height including A/C units and antennas. Our stalls have 12' of clearance.
- Trailers: include the tongue and any ramp gate.

Step 4: Understand the costs
Pricing depends on the type of space. See live rates on our Spaces & Prices page. At move-in you'll pay the first month (prorated), a one-time move-in fee and a security deposit, all itemized before you pay.
