I am looking for some advice around car storage. I've got a few cars stored at various locations in the north east, mainly because they're there for free. But I'd like to have them all in one spot, so I'm looking for some space within probably 30-45 minutes of NYC to store a few cars in one place and just have a place to work on them, store them and some other things.

My options I guess are to just straight up buy a shop or space or rent space at an established garage or something.

For renting, I've seen some of the garages out on the island in New Hyde Park and up in Westchester but feel like it's a bit more than I need and more expensive than I'd like to pay just to have access to them.

I really like the idea of buying but have no idea what that entails and I can already tell that would be a significant investment, but not totally unrealistic.

Any advice or pointers on where to look?
