Smart Storage Decisions in Central Fremont & The Tri-City Area: A Hyper-Local Guide
Executive Summary: Navigating Space in the East Bay
In the rapidly evolving landscape of the East Bay, particularly within the Tri-City area of Fremont, Newark, and Union City, the concept of "space" has shifted from a static asset to a dynamic necessity. As housing density increases in the Central District (94538) and historic preservation limits expansion in Niles and Parkmont (94536), residents are increasingly turning to external storage solutions not merely as a repository for excess "stuff," but as a strategic extension of their living footprint.
This report serves as a hyper-local decision guide for residents and business owners in Fremont and Union City (94587). Unlike generic storage advice, this analysis is rooted in the specific geography, housing stock, and lifestyle rhythms of the Mowry Avenue corridor. It addresses the "in-between" questions that plague the research phase—logistics of transport along Mission Boulevard, the specific climate considerations of the Bay Area microclimate, and the tactical sizing requirements for local housing types, from Craftsman bungalows in Niles to modern condos near the BART station.
The objective is to equip the reader with exhaustive knowledge to make a low-stress, future-proof decision. By understanding the nuances of access, location, and facility infrastructure, residents can transform a potentially chaotic transition—be it a renovation, a move, or a business expansion—into a managed, predictable process.
Section 1: The Local Context – Why Storage is Different Here
1.1 The "In-Between" Spaces of Fremont
Fremont is often described as a collection of towns rather than a single monolithic city, a legacy of its formation from five smaller communities: Centerville, Niles, Irvington, Mission San Jose, and Warm Springs.1 This historical amalgamation creates a unique storage market where needs vary drastically block by block, driven by the specific architectural and zoning constraints of each original township.
Residents in 94536 (Niles, Parkmont, Cabrillo) often inhabit older, single-family homes with established yards but limited closet space or restrictive historic guidelines that prevent easy home additions.2 The housing stock here leans towards mid-century ranch styles or earlier Victorian influences in Niles, which were built in an era before the accumulation of modern consumer goods necessitated vast internal storage. Conversely, the 94538 ZIP code, encompassing the Central District and Downtown, sees a surge in high-density living where square footage is at a premium and garage space is often nonexistent or repurposed for parking in multi-family structures.4
This duality drives the "in-between" anxiety that characterizes local storage searches:
-
The Renovator's Dilemma: "I need to clear two rooms for a remodel, but I can't block the driveway with a pod because of HOA rules in Parkmont or narrow streets in Niles."
-
The Commuter's Crunch: "I live in Union City (94587) but commute past Mowry daily. Do I store near home where I might not be during the day, or on my route where I can access it during my commute?"
-
The Hobbyist's Overflow: "I hike Mission Peak or fish at Quarry Lakes 6; where do I put the muddy gear, kayaks, and bikes that are cluttering my apartment hallway?"
1.2 The Geography of Convenience: Mowry Avenue as an Artery
Understanding local traffic patterns is the first step in a smart storage decision. Mowry Avenue is not just a street; it is a trans-city artery connecting I-880 in the west to Mission Boulevard in the east.8 It serves as a horizontal axis cutting across the vertical grain of Fremont's north-south thoroughfares.
For a storage facility located at 325 Mowry Ave, the strategic advantage lies in "trip chaining." Trip chaining is the logistical practice of combining multiple errands into a single outing to save time and fuel—a critical strategy in the Bay Area traffic environment.
-
The "Hub" Effect: The proximity to the Fremont Hub (Target, Trader Joe's, Safeway) and the Mowry East Shopping Center (Lucky’s) means that a visit to the storage unit is rarely a standalone trip.10 It is easily integrated into a weekly grocery run or a gym visit, transforming storage from a chore into a seamless part of the weekly routine.
-
The Barrier of Mission Boulevard: For residents in the hills or Union City, crossing town can be a psychological barrier due to traffic signals and congestion. However, a location just off Mission Blvd (like the eastern end of Mowry) mitigates this by being accessible before the heavy central traffic sets in.9 This positioning allows residents of the 94536 ZIP code to access storage without engaging with the dense traffic of the Central District's core.
1.3 Microclimate Awareness
Fremont enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, but local variances matter significantly for long-term storage preservation.13 The geography of the East Bay creates distinct microclimates even within a few miles.
-
The Bay Breeze vs. The Hill Heat: Areas closer to the bay (Newark/West Fremont) experience higher humidity and salt air due to marine layers. Conversely, areas closer to the hills (Niles/Mission San Jose) can trap heat, leading to significantly higher temperatures in summer.15 This "heat trap" effect is amplified in concrete and asphalt environments.
-
Implication for Goods: A non-climate-controlled garage in 94536 can easily exceed 90°F in August, risking damage to sensitive items like vinyl records, photos, or antique wood furniture common in Niles households. This drives a specific need for climate-controlled solutions that maintain a consistent environment, protecting items from the expansion/contraction cycles caused by temperature spikes.14
Section 2: What Most Locals Don’t Realize Until They Start Looking
The initial search for storage is often driven by price and size—the visible metrics. However, experienced users know that access friction, loading logistics, and operational hours are the true determinants of satisfaction.
2.1 The "Drive-Up" Fallacy vs. Reality
Many first-time renters assume "drive-up" access is always superior. While excellent for heavy equipment or quick transfers of durable goods, drive-up units in Fremont can present challenges due to environmental exposure.17
-
The Dust Factor: Drive-up units are inherently more exposed to dust and debris from wind patterns and proximity to major roads. In the dry summer months, fine particulate matter can ingress under doors if not properly sealed.
-
The Modern Indoor Advantage: Facilities with interior loading bays or wide corridors offer protection from the elements (wind, rain, summer heat) during the loading process. For residents in 94538 apartments moving furniture, an indoor unit with elevator access often provides a cleaner, more secure environment for long-term preservation than an exterior garage door exposed to street dust.16 The "climate break" provided by an interior hallway can make the difference between a miserable moving experience and a manageable one during a July heatwave.
2.2 The Security Mindset
In the Bay Area, security is a top priority for residents storing valuable items. However, "security" is not just about a lock; it's about layers of visibility and active deterrence.16
-
Passive vs. Active Security: Modern facilities utilize "active" systems like motion-sensing lighting and high-definition monitoring that covers hallways, not just gates. This ensures that activity is recorded even when authorized users are inside the facility.
-
The Neighborhood Watch Effect: A facility located in a busy, well-lit commercial district (like Mowry Ave near commercial centers) benefits from "natural surveillance." High traffic from nearby businesses (7-Eleven, shopping centers) means the area is rarely deserted, deterring opportunistic crime compared to facilities in isolated industrial cul-de-sacs.9 The presence of legitimate activity is a powerful deterrent.
2.3 The Hidden Cost of "Cheap" Storage
While budget is critical, the "lowest price" often comes with hidden friction costs that manifest later in the rental period:
-
Access Hours: Does the lower-priced facility close at 6 PM? If you work in tech and commute back to Fremont at 7 PM, that unit is effectively inaccessible on weekdays. A facility with extended access hours (e.g., 6 AM to 10 PM) aligns better with the actual lifestyle of Bay Area professionals who operate on extended schedules.9
-
Maintenance Standards: Cheaper, older facilities may struggle with pest control (ants are a common local nuisance in dry summers) or moisture intrusion.17 The cost of replacing a mildewed mattress or fumigating boxes far outweighs the monthly savings of a budget unit.
-
Administrative Friction: The ability to manage accounts online, set up autopay, and communicate digitally reduces the administrative burden of storage. Facilities that lack modern digital infrastructure often require in-person visits for simple tasks, adding unnecessary errands to a busy schedule.16
Section 3: A Practical Decision Checklist
Before visiting a facility or booking online, it is essential to filter out options that won’t fit your specific logistical reality in Fremont. This checklist moves beyond the basics to address local nuances.
3.1 Step 1: Define the "Access Pattern"
How often will you actually visit the unit? This determines where the unit should be located within the facility and geographically.
-
The "Time Capsule" (Once a year): Holiday decorations, tax archives, sentimental heirlooms.
-
Recommendation: Location within the facility matters less; focus on climate control and price. A unit tucked away on a second floor or down a long corridor is fine and often offers better value.
-
The "Active Pantry" (Weekly/Monthly): Camping gear, rotating wardrobe, business inventory, warehouse club overflow.
-
Recommendation: Location is paramount. You need a facility near your errand route (e.g., Mowry Ave). You want ground-floor or near-elevator access to minimize the "hassle factor" of popping in for 10 minutes. If access is difficult, the unit becomes a "black hole" where things go to be forgotten rather than used.9
-
The "Project Staging" (Daily/Weekly for a duration): Home renovation, moving transition.
-
Recommendation: Drive-up access is the gold standard here. You are moving heavy items frequently. Wide drive aisles are crucial for moving trucks.
3.2 Step 2: Accurate Sizing (The 10% Rule)
People notoriously underestimate the space they need. A good rule of thumb: Calculate what you think you need, then add 10% for an aisle. You do not want to empty half the unit just to reach the box in the back.
Common Fremont Sizing Scenarios:
-
The Condo Closet (5x5): Perfect for the seasonal swap-out in a 1-bedroom apartment at the Pebble Creek or Waterstone complexes.20
-
Fits: Winter coats, skis, 10-15 boxes, a disassembled bicycle. This size is equivalent to a small walk-in closet.
-
The 1-Bedroom Apartment Move (5x10): Fits the contents of a standard 700 sq. ft. apartment (mattress, sofa, dining set, boxes). This is the most common size for transitions between leases.16
-
The Garage Reclamation (10x10): For the homeowner in Parkmont wanting to finally park a car in the garage.
-
Fits: Lawnmower, bikes, holiday decor, patio furniture, and the contents of a spare bedroom. It represents roughly half of a standard one-car garage.21
-
The Whole Home Renovation (10x20): Essential for emptying a 3-bedroom home in Niles during a major remodel.
-
Fits: Appliances, large furniture suites, dozens of boxes. Think of it as a standard one-car garage.22
3.3 Step 3: Packing for the Microclimate
-
Moisture Barriers: Even in climate-controlled units, use plastic bins with sealed lids rather than cardboard for long-term storage. Cardboard absorbs moisture from the air and can attract pests like silverfish and ants, which are common local nuisances.17
-
Dust Covers: If using a drive-up unit, cover all upholstery with breathable cotton covers (not plastic, which traps moisture) to protect against the fine dust that accumulates in the valley.13
-
Desiccants: Throwing a few silica gel packs or a moisture absorber bucket into the unit is cheap insurance against the few weeks of heavy winter rain Fremont experiences.17
-
Elevation: Store items on pallets or shelving units to keep them off the direct concrete floor. This promotes airflow and protects against minor spills or condensation.17
3.4 Step 4: Timing Your Rental for Renovations
Renovation projects in Fremont often operate on tight schedules due to contractor availability and permitting timelines. A common mistake is waiting until demolition day to secure storage.
-
The Planning Phase (Weeks 1-2): Assess the scope. Determine which rooms need to be cleared completely versus just organized.
-
The Prep Phase (Weeks 3-4): This is the critical window. You should rent your unit and move furniture before demolition begins. Trying to move a sofa while contractors are setting up dust barriers is a recipe for stress and damage.
-
The Construction Phase (Weeks 5-10): The unit is in active use. You may need to visit to retrieve specific items or store new fixtures (vanities, appliances) that arrive before they are ready to be installed.25
-
The Finishing Phase (Weeks 11-12): As the project winds down, move items back in stages. Use this opportunity to declutter—don't bring back items that didn't miss during the renovation.
Section 4: Deep Dive – Neighborhood Analysis
4.1 ZIP 94536: Niles, Parkmont, and Cabrillo
The Vibe: Historic charm, established families, larger lots, and scenic hills.2
The Storage Trigger: Preservation and Renovation.
Residents in Niles often live in homes with significant character but limited built-in storage. The "Niles vibe" involves antiques, collectibles, and a connection to the Silent Film era.1 The housing stock here often includes homes built before the 1950s, which lack the expansive closet space of modern builds.
-
Scenario: You are restoring a 1920s bungalow. You need to clear a room for refinishing floors but can't bear to part with the period-correct furniture that defines the home's aesthetic.
-
The Solution: A climate-controlled 10x10 unit acts as an external archive. It protects the wood varnish on antique furniture from heat spikes that occur in non-insulated home garages or sheds. This off-site protection allows the renovation to proceed without risking damage to the home's contents.
-
Route Logic: For Niles residents, the drive down Mission Blvd to Mowry is direct. While Mission Blvd can get backed up 27, the turn onto Mowry puts you at the facility before the heavy congestion of the Central Hub area. It’s a 5-10 minute drive that feels local.9 This accessibility encourages frequent visits, allowing the storage unit to function as an active part of the household organization.
Parkmont residents often deal with "Suburban Overflow." Excellent schools (Washington High) mean families stay for decades, accumulating a lifetime of belongings.3
-
Scenario: The kids are back from college for the summer (or moved back in). The "guest room" needs to be cleared of the sewing hobby or home gym equipment to make space for living.
-
The Solution: A 5x10 unit serves as the "dorm room" storage or the temporary displaced hobby room. Proximity to Washington Hospital and the library means a visit to the unit fits into standard family errands, such as dropping off books or visiting a medical appointment.
4.2 ZIP 94538: Central District, Downtown, and The Hub
The Vibe: Dense, convenient, urbanizing, apartment-heavy.4
The Storage Trigger: Lifestyle Expansion in Fixed Footprints.
This ZIP code hosts the highest concentration of apartments and condos (e.g., Briarwood, Avalon Fremont). Square footage is expensive ($2,500+ for a 1-bed) 5, creating a constant pressure to optimize internal space.
-
Scenario: You live in a 665 sq. ft. apartment. You love kayaking at Quarry Lakes or biking the Alameda Creek Trail, but your lease forbids storing bikes on the balcony, and your hallway is too narrow.
-
The Solution: A 5x5 unit becomes your "mudroom." You drive to the unit, swap your work bag for your gear, and head to the trail. The facility at 325 Mowry is essentially neighbors with the Mowry East Shopping Center, making it incredibly easy to grab snacks at 7-Eleven or Lucky’s before heading out.19 This transforms the storage unit from a "warehouse" into a "lifestyle enabler."
-
Route Logic: You are likely already driving Mowry Ave to get to I-880 or the BART station. The storage facility is "on the way" to almost everywhere, preventing the need for a detour. This integration into the daily commute removes the friction of "going to storage," making it as routine as stopping for gas.
4.3 ZIP 94587: The Union City Connection
The Vibe: Commuter-centric, industrial mix, diverse families.29
The Storage Trigger: Commute Convenience.
Why would a Union City resident drive to Fremont for storage? Because the commute often dictates it. Many Union City residents work in Silicon Valley or Fremont’s industrial zones (Tesla, etc.) and traverse the corridors connecting the two cities.
-
The "Flow" Factor: Driving south on Mission Blvd or I-880 in the morning and north in the evening puts 325 Mowry Ave right at the intersection of the commute. Stopping at a facility in Union City might require "backtracking" depending on where the home is located relative to the highway.30 By placing storage along the commute route, residents ensure they can access their goods without adding miles to their day.
-
Availability: Union City has storage options, but high density often means lower availability for specific desirable sizes (like ground-floor 10x10s) compared to the inventory in Fremont.31 The ability to secure the exact right size unit can justify the short drive south.
-
Shopping Synergy: Union City residents frequently shop at the Fremont Hub or Pacific Commons on weekends. Storing near where you shop (Fremont) rather than just where you sleep (Union City) can be a time-saver.33 If your weekend routine involves a Target run at The Hub, accessing your unit at 325 Mowry becomes a natural part of that trip.
Section 5: Secondary ZIP Integration
While the primary ZIPs drive the bulk of local demand, surrounding areas like 94539 (Mission San Jose/Warm Springs) and 94555 (Ardenwood) also find strategic value in the Mowry Avenue location.
5.1 94539: Mission San Jose & Warm Springs
Residents in these southern Fremont neighborhoods often face a choice: drive south to Milpitas or north to Central Fremont. For those whose lives revolve around the I-680 corridor, a facility on Mowry offers a connection point between the hills and the central shopping districts.
-
The Route: Taking Mission Blvd north to Mowry is a common route for accessing the broader retail amenities of Central Fremont.
-
The Use Case: Large estate homes in Mission San Jose often require off-site storage for seasonal decor or extensive wine collections (requiring climate control) that exceed the capacity of home cellars or garages.
5.2 94555: Ardenwood & North Fremont
For residents in Ardenwood, the logic is driven by the Dumbarton Bridge access and the 880 corridor.
-
The Route: Mowry Avenue is a direct exit from I-880, making the location easily accessible for those coming from the west side of the freeway.
-
The Use Case: Commuters heading across the Dumbarton Bridge often use Mowry as a primary access point to the central city, making it a convenient "drop zone" for business inventory or personal items.
Section 6: Common Local Concerns Answered
6.1 "Is it safe?" – The Security Mindset
Security is the number one question for storage renters. While no facility can guarantee absolute safety (and you should be wary of any that do), you can look for indicators of a security-first culture.16
-
Lighting: Visit the location at dusk. Is the facility bright? Are the hallways illuminated? 325 Mowry Ave benefits from street lighting and commercial activity, which reduces dark corners.16
-
Access Control: Does the facility use personalized codes? This creates a digital log of every entry and exit, deterring authorized users from acting maliciously.
-
On-Site Presence: Is there a manager’s office? The presence of staff during the day helps maintain order and cleanliness, which correlates with security.9
-
Perimeter Integrity: Check the fencing and gate systems. Are they well-maintained? A facility that invests in its physical infrastructure is likely investing in its digital monitoring as well.
6.2 "Will I get stuck in traffic?"
Mowry Avenue is busy. However, the location at 325 Mowry is strategically positioned between the I-880 interchange and the Mission Blvd intersection.9
-
The Sweet Spot: It avoids the deepest congestion of the "Hub" to the west during peak commute hours if you are coming from Mission Blvd.
-
Pro Tip: Avoid visiting between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM on weekdays when school traffic (Washington High) and commuter traffic overlap. Weekends are generally fluid, and late evenings (access until 10 PM) are often wide open.9 The "reverse commute" logic often applies here; visiting when traffic is flowing away from the central hubs can save significant time.
6.3 "What about earthquakes?"
This is California. While you cannot predict seismic events, you can pack for them.
-
Low Center of Gravity: Store heavy boxes on the bottom.
-
Shelving Restraints: If you install shelving in your unit, ensure it is sturdy and freestanding, or securely braced if permitted.
-
Modern Construction: Facilities built or updated in recent decades (like many in the area) adhere to stricter seismic codes than backyard sheds or older garages. The structural integrity of a commercial facility often exceeds that of residential outbuildings.
6.4 "Do I really need Climate Control in Fremont?"
Fremont isn't Death Valley, but it isn't San Francisco either. The valley floor can heat up significantly.
-
Summer Peaks: Temperatures can hit 90°F+ in late summer.15 In a closed metal drive-up unit, internal temperatures can soar much higher, potentially damaging sensitive items.
-
The Verdict:
-
Yard tools, holiday plastic decor, patio furniture: Standard Unit is fine.
-
Electronics, wood furniture, mattresses, business files, artwork: Climate Control is highly recommended. It’s not just about temperature; it’s about regulating the environment to prevent the degradation of materials over months.14
Section 7: Why This Location Fits (Indirect Analysis)
Without selling you, let's look at the "Fit Factors" for 325 Mowry Ave based on how locals actually use storage. The best facility is the one that integrates seamlessly into your existing life, rather than requiring you to build a new routine around it.
7.1 The "Errand Efficiency" Score
-
Next Door: 7-Eleven (482 Mowry) for quick drinks/snacks during a move.19 This small convenience is invaluable when you are dehydrated and tired from loading boxes.
-
Across the Street: Mowry East Shopping Center with Lucky’s for supplies.11 Need trash bags or cleaning supplies? They are walking distance.
-
1 Mile Radius: The Fremont Hub (Target, Home Depot) for moving boxes, tape, and shelving units.10 You will inevitably need more boxes than you thought. Being minutes away from Home Depot saves the project from stalling.
-
Insight: You will inevitably need supplies or a break during a move. Being in a retail-dense zone saves you 30-45 minutes of driving around compared to a facility in a remote industrial park.
7.2 The Loading Experience
The facility offers a mix of drive-up and interior options, catering to the diverse housing stock of the area.
-
For the Apartment Dweller (94538): The interior units mimic the apartment experience—clean, lit, elevator-accessible. It feels like an extension of your building, providing a familiar environment for your belongings.16
-
For the Contractor/Business (94536): The drive-up units allow for rapid loading of tools and inventory, crucial for maximizing billable hours.16 Time spent walking down a hallway is time not spent on the job site.
7.3 Flexibility for Life Transitions
Life in Fremont is dynamic. Tech contracts change, leases renew, renovations happen. The ability to adapt your storage strategy is key.
-
Month-to-Month: The standard for the industry, allowing you to rent for a single month of renovation or indefinitely for business storage. This flexibility matches the "at-will" nature of modern work and housing.16
-
Variety: Having a range of sizes (5x5 to 10x30) means you can "right-size" your unit. Start with a 10x20 for the move, then downsize to a 5x5 for just the keepers, all at the same location. This ability to transfer units without changing facilities is a massive logistical advantage.
Section 8: Conclusion – Peace of Mind in a Box
Making a smart storage decision in Fremont isn't about finding the absolute cheapest concrete box; it's about finding the lowest friction solution for your specific life stage. The "cost" of storage includes your time, your gas, and your peace of mind.
-
If you are in Niles (94536), you need climate control to protect your history and a location that doesn't force you into the gridlock of the city center.
-
If you are in the Central District (94538), you need a "spare closet" that is as clean and accessible as your condo.
-
If you are commuting from Union City (94587), you need a pit-stop that aligns with your flow along Mission Boulevard.
The facility at 325 Mowry Ave sits at the intersection of these needs. It offers the modern amenities (climate control, security monitoring) required by the savvy Bay Area consumer, positioned in a location that minimizes the "chore" of visiting.
Final Advice:
-
Visit in person: Walk the hallway. Does it feel clean? Is the staff helpful? A physical inspection is worth a thousand online reviews.
-
Measure twice: Tape out a 5x10 square on your floor. Can you fit your pile in it? Visualizing the space prevents "unit shock" on moving day.
-
Rent for the reality: Choose the features (climate control, access hours) that protect your items and your time. Don't compromise on the safety of your belongings for a few dollars a month.
Storage should be the silent partner in your life—secure, accessible, and stress-free. When you choose a location that fits your daily rhythm, you aren't just renting space; you are buying back a little bit of peace of mind in a busy world.
Detailed Appendix: Neighborhood-Specific Storage Scenarios
A. The "Niles Historic" Preservation Project (Zip 94536)
The Challenge: You are updating the wiring in a 1910s home. The plaster walls create dust that ruins furniture. You need to clear the living room for 2 months.
The Smart Move:
-
Unit: 10x15 Climate Controlled.
-
Why: You need space for a sofa set, dining hutch, and sensitive rugs. Climate control prevents wood warping during the transition.
-
Logistics: Rent a truck for one day. Load up early Saturday. Drive down Mission Blvd. Unload at the covered loading bay at 325 Mowry. Done by noon.
B. The "Downtown Condo" Lifestyle (Zip 94538)
The Challenge: You bought a Peloton and need to move the "home office" desk out, but don't want to sell it. Plus, you have 4 bins of winter clothes.
The Smart Move:
-
Unit: 5x5 Interior Upper Floor.
-
Why: It's the cheapest option. You don't need frequent access to the desk. The winter clothes only come out once a year.
-
Logistics: The desk fits in a pickup or van. The boxes fit in a car. You can do this in two trips with a friend.
C. The "Union City" Business Owner (Zip 94587)
The Challenge: You run an e-commerce shop from your garage in Union City. Inventory is taking over the family room.
The Smart Move:
-
Unit: 10x10 Drive-Up.
-
Why: You are shipping daily. You need to drive your car right up to the door, grab 5 boxes, and head to the Post Office/UPS (there is a UPS store at the Hub 33).
-
Logistics: 325 Mowry is on your route to the supply store. It becomes your "warehouse" without the commercial lease cost.
Understanding Pricing in Fremont (A Note on Budgeting)
While we cannot predict rates, understanding the structure helps you budget effectively.
-
Street Rate: The advertised price.
-
Admin Fee: A one-time setup fee (standard in the industry).
-
Insurance: Most facilities require coverage. You can often use your homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy (check your "off-premises" coverage) to save the monthly fee offered by the facility.35
-
Value: Compare "Cost per Cubic Foot." A unit with high ceilings allows you to stack higher, giving you more volume for the same floor price. 325 Mowry’s modern construction often features good vertical clearance.
Disclaimer: This guide is for informational purposes. Always verify specific unit availability, dimensions, and facility rules directly with the location manager.
