I hear you. I’m 10-15 min from KRYY. Two year wait list - for a tie down.
 
$715 at Long Beach, CA KLGB for a small T-hangar. But I’d heard they asking $900 for new tenants.
 
  • Wow

I had a lovely T-hangar at KVIS in California for $300/mo which I miss dearly. Also had a shade-hangar at KHJO for $85/mo which I wish was an option at more airports to keep off sun, hail, and snow.

When I got assigned to the Virginia area, I started looking around. Everywhere has at least a 2-3 year waiting list and one guy (at Bay Bridge airport) actually burst out laughing when I asked. Apparently it's 5-7 years at that airport.

So effectively hangars are not available at any price, at least where I am.
 
Fortuitously with no great planning on my part I built a 60x50 hangar on a ground lease with the city of Covington at KCVC about 20 years ago. Was $160/month then and is still about that. Just signed a 25 year lease for it which allows a whopping 1% a year increase. So I’m good until I’m 101 years old.
 
I don't rent, I own. My prop taxes are $1105/year. I rent out a home on the airport property and earn $1300/month. So, I basically make money each year on my hangar. However, the up front investment was non-zero of course.
 
ah yes, the shared hangars. Don't forget to pool noodle the heck out of those unobtanium tail feathers, lest the hangar rash fairy comes and gives ya a visit. BTDT.
 
I can see that happening to me someday trying to put an anirplane into the hangar with a golf cart or lawn mower tug.
 
I’ve seen mistakes with hangar doors not all the way open, and collisions with the rear of a T hangar.
 
Me, working the tug to put a plane in a hangar

I can see it happening to me with just my manual tow bar. Can't see the tail of the plane when I'm pushing it.
 
I'm at KBDR and would love to get a municipal t-hangar. The communal hangarage at Three Wing or Atlantic is way too expensive. No idea how to get onto a waitlist though!

Hey hey - I sent a deposit in and today I just got on the "reserved" list for a new T hangar in Paulding, NW Atlanta area (KPUJ). They'll break ground in a few months for 30 new T hangars, should be finished in a year. They have the area/ground already leveled, electrical transformer whatnot installed, etc.

$500 a month. I assume some type of lighting and at least one electrical outlet.

I've read of airports not being GA friendly, not investing. Paulding is a refreshing example of a GA friendly airport that is expanding. They just opened the first set of brand new T hangars two months ago, and now are building 30 more. Lots of heavy equipment doing a lot of "landscaping" - they removed a hill to make the pad for the new hangars, rerouting the road to the really nice terminal, etc.

Dang....I am planning to move back to ATL next year...hopefully in the spring and if I bring this Cherokee back with me I guess it will live outside. I have looked around for space and even some of the places you could get into pretty easily 7-8 years ago are full up with long lists and lots of $$$. And I know several airports built more hangers since I left, so it seems GA is flourishing in GA.

Where in ATL land?

If Paulding is workable, and you’re certain to be moving try calling them and offering a $500 deposit along with signing a lease. They are a year out still. It’s in the airports best interest to have all leased out and deposits on hand.

My house in ATL is in Woodstock. I was previously in a partnership at KRYY, and flew from KNCI some and had some EAA friends at VPC.

PUJ would be over an hour, assuming no traffic and maybe a bit far for me.

The plane is very old and the paint is 2.5/10 so if it sits outside (assuming i get the annual and its airworthy) for a bit its not the end of the world.

But I will keep PUJ in mind.
 
Yep - Paulding would be a hike.

KRYY - did I mention a 2 year wait list now for a tie down spot? It still boggles my mind.

Yeah. I am thinking a little that depending on getting this house to sell and selling it goes...and if the cherokee doesnt bankrupt me getting it airworthy...I may sell it up here and look for somethin in GA with a hangar already that I can keep the hangar.

When I left that partnership maybe 8 years ago we had shared hangar at KRYY and it was $50-500/mo with the FBO doing pull outs.

I actually did see a share of that plane for sale on FB down in GA...they have painted it, redid the interior, added to the panel and I think OH'd the O-540. But its not at KRYY anymore it looks like..now south of ATL. If it was in the metro area i would try to buy back in when I move. Great flying Dakota.

$610/month at San Jose, CA (KSJC) T-hangar, sliding doors

Getting $650/month for a T hangar with folding doors at Boire Field (KASH) in Nashua, NH

I'm hoping to do my xc solo to KASH so I can grab some Sweet Ginger Thai food near the field.
 
Enterprise AL (KEDN) $200/mo
Bloomington IN (KBMG) $195/mo
both t-hangars
 
While it is fun to see what others pay it is one of those kind of useless things to do. $410 for a SEL T-Hangar in the Dallas area.
Like all real estate only 3 things matter, 1. Location 2. Location 3. Location
After that it is all relatively minor details on paved vs dirt, electric, etc.

My real pet peeve is "hangar waiting list". Most airports it is not public, free to join and no documented method of how long to accept/decline before they move down the list. For some, it is you didn't answer my phone call, on to the next guy. Others, the good old by system. Same person can be on 10 different waiting list in the area. How many new hangars do we really need in the area?

Suggestion:
1) List publicly viewable (Does not have to be general public, but a website viewable by all the people on the list at minimum)
2) Rules on contact and time to accept decline are written and clear (simple rules, will you take a different type hangar than you asked for)
3) Requires a deposit equal to 1 months rent to be on list (Only serious people will do this, and not on 10 list, plus you will keep contact info current, drop off the list deposit is returned)
4) You must be an aircraft owner to be on the list.
5) Other things clear such as, if you sell your plane to a local is hangar lease transferable?
6) Airplane is not airworthy for 12 months or whatever time period, you have to leave. And someone actually checks up on it.

Let me know how you like the airport. I've never flown into there being based all the way across the country in California. But, we may retire to New Hampshire someday and wanted to get a hangar if that ever happens. Purchased it in the beginning of this year and renting it out in the meantime.
 
For another Atlanta data point…After 4 ½ years on waitlist an acquaintance just got a t-hangar at PDK for $530/month.
 
Congratulations to your friend - that deserves some type of change of hangar ceremony, maybe a few dignitaries giving speeches.
 
I'm jealous of some the hangar rents here. I'm currently paying $325/month for a tie down at KORL.

If it helps, know that some are jealous of you for having that tie down spot.

Reason I’m asking is that here Atl area they are impossible to get at any price. I’m going to say if you can get a simple T hangar here it would be $500 or so.

private fields not an option? get outside of ATL and you can build a hangar on a private strip... just lease the land. I was in contact with a private strip owner and they were very open to any monthly revenue stream. Only downside is that it won't get any of the sweet sweet FAA grant money
 
Like the creativity. But I’m not in a position to put that money into a structure that has limited resale ability. Too many other uncertainties as well.

You have to also go a long way from where I live to get out of the Atl expensive real estate curse.

That was quick. Paulding is sold out; all the proposed hangars have leases and deposits already.

7) Must have an airplane IN the hangar (not full of cars, jet skis, boat, furniture, etc., etc.) [or maybe that goes without saying?]

I think that’s highly dependent on where you are and if you “own” the hangar or not.

Does one plane tucked in the corner make this acceptable?

Have you looked at the wait times for engine overhauls lately?

Also consider people who are constructing an airplane. That process can easily take years.
 
I think it has been discussed before, but part of the problem with airports 'throwing up' hangars is the new building codes. Costs are ASTRO-NOMICAL, compared to the olden days when an airport would throw up a row of tee hangars for $98 and some free avgas. Now its, environmental impact, soil mitigation, full concrete pads, drain runoff, wind rating, electrical, handicap access, fire sprinklers....yada yada yada.

Well said. I have a small grass strip in a rural area just outside a mode C veil. We just had a new hangar built on our private owned, public use airstrip and the overhead before turning one shovel of dirt was $13,000. Flood zone, flood mitigation, sub-surface compaction(soils test), enviro impact, waste mgmt construction, fire access, mini-survey, easement verification, and permits.

My hangar next door was built in 1983 and the permit was $71. Had no other issues except a declaration to the county we were aware it was in flood zone. Two days for the foundation, two days to cure, three days and the building was up, one day for the doors. The administrative state has gone insane.
 
Well - Paulding county board members decided not to fund the next set of hangars. Maybe reconsider in a year. Bah
