Hangar Monthly Rent

[eventualpilot]

For those in the ATL area, any insight into the hangar is to situation (pricing/availability) at KCNI, KGVL, or KLZU?

Here in Brooksville there are two or three dome hangars. I haven't seen those anywhere else. What do people think of those? I'll have to take a picture of one next time i'm taxiing by.

I just (yesterday) leased a T-hangar at Salisbury, MD (SBY) for $265/month. I was on a waitlist for only a few months. I will keep my tie-down at Georgetown, DE (GED) (only $60/month) so I have the choice of two airports, both of which are equal drive time from our home. (GED has a projected 5-year waitlist for an $800/month hangar.) A "former" airport (0W3) for me has newly constructed hangars for (I believe) $600/month and may have a couple available.

I feel like I'm looking at a post from 1980...

(pretty good price - I'm envioius)

I pay 339 a month for a larger T hangar. I waited for a year and a half to get it. My biggest complaint, at least 30% of the hangars at my home airport don’t have airplanes in them. That’s not supposed to be allowed yet no one seems to care. I pointed that out to the airport manager when I was told about the waiting list. He didn’t care. I would say the percentage of hangars that hold planes that actually fly, is very low. Maybe 20%. After 4 years of renting my hangar there’s only a handful hangars that I’ve ever seen open.

"My biggest complaint, at least 30% of the hangars at my home airport don’t have airplanes in them."

I think that situation is well monitored at my "new to me" airport. They provided the combination lock - I do get to choose my combination but there is key access on the lock for a master key - for hangar checks. I had to agree to that in the lease. Maybe that's why the waitlist cycled for me in only four months. I was interviewed by the operations manager and even had to take a "movement" test - for driving on airport grounds. Evidently the movement test was an FAA/ATC requirement.

$650 for new leases. People in before beginning of the year are paying $575

I don't think they have any open now. They put up a new row, but it was about half leased before construction started

I have 2 hangars right now.

One is a small, uninsulated T-hangar, open to the rafters with sliding doors that are impossible to open with snow on the roof. But it has a good concrete floor and rent's relatively cheap. I pay $271/month for that one and currently have it sublet to a friend that's been on several waiting lists for a couple of years.

The other is a, fully enclosed/finished, insulated, and brightly lit 1,100+sqft T-hangar with thermostat controlled infrared heating and an electric lift bifold door. It will have broadband internet as of next month. Total on the monthly bill is $831.45 Which will be going up to $873 for 2025. Damned expensive. But, I also park my camper van there, eliminating the cost of storing it separately.

$475 northwestern NJ. It’s 50 mins from my house. I can get a tie down right next to me under nyc bravo for 320, or get on hangar waitlist for 900 when it becomes available (will probably be more by then - that’s the price today).

I just pay over night and keep my plane at the delta under he bravo for $20 if I know I’ll be flying multiple days in a row

at KBED, the insulated heated T hangar was north of $1000/month 20 years ago. I shudder to think what it is now.

 

[Southpaw]

My T hanger is still $36.66 per month. Concrete floor only in center front of T. Works for me other then it’s a 40 mile drive.

I "finally" got my bird into my hangar at the airport in Salisbury, MD (SBY) yesterday afternoon. The mechanic (A&P IA) actually delivered it to me - I just drove him back. I now have a decent hangar - just in time - a little snow should be here in a few hours with big storm is forecast for Monday. For $265 a month I have a nice T-hangar here and a good tie down ($60) at the airport where I've been staying. Both are about the same 40-minute drive time from home - so I'll be keeping both for a while and see how it works out this year.

Been looking for a t hangar or shade in the Las Vegas area for eons. 7 year wait for shade hangar at KHND. Slightly less ar KVGT. Going to be splitting my time now between Vegas and NW Houston area. So now trying find hangar or T hangar at KCXO. Seems like a fools’ errand…….

 

[WWFeldman]

After reading this thread almost ashamed to say what I pay. Home airport is in Kentucky and I pay 75 a month for a hangar there with electricity included. It's a great little GA airport as well, really active EAA chapter and people always flying.

I'm working out of North Carolina at the moment and keep a hangar down here as well, 150 a month, but no electricity in the hangar and no door. There's not much flying going on there, but it's right next door to the plant I'm helping get set up.

 

[Rcmutz]

My electric bi-fold T hangar went up from $260 to $275 per month for this coming year. I take back my grumbling!

 

[bbchien]

Shared with one other - $800 total or $400 apiece. Heated, insulated.

I feel like a tie down character from Charles Dickens. “Please hangar sir - can you spare some electricity so I can use my WalMart space heater to try to start my plane?”

 

[hindsight2020]

No need to feel shame, it's just real estate; it's all regional. I couldn't even get aircraft (hull) insurance for less than commercial rate if I decided to relocate back home (TJSJ), so I don't (or choose to quit rec flying if I do). Bringing up "affordable hangaring" in floyver country isn't really novel or useful.

This discussion is ultimately about the chasm between the people who can afford airplane ownership, and their sources of income being tied to metropolitan areas their dependents want to live in, being not welcoming spaces for the hobby.

For those who can derive an airplane ownership-supporting income and their domestic situation is compatible with the cheaper regional choice, congratulations on winning the relative life lottery.

Over the years I have rented nine different hangars in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The most expensive was $145 a month, the least expensive was $85 a month. I never had to tie down outside except when on a trip. (For perspective, I sold my last airplane four years ago and moved all the hangar stuff into my garage. The last one was the most expensive one.)

Sure, but a lot of us are in places where people actually want to live.

I kid! I kid!

I've lived in Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, Arizona, New York, Minnesota, Taiwan, Texas, Ohio and Tennessee. Enjoyed every one of them.

Well, maybe not Texas so much.

 

[GMascelli]

My hangar is in Ocean City MD - KOXB. I pay $291 a month, electricity included, and the electric bifold door is great. We live eight miles, @15 minutes, from the airport.

I'm with you, but happy to report Texas is getting better.

 

[Chrisgoesflying]

Paid $500 per month in Canada, just outside of Toronto for a T-Hangar, electricity included but unheated. Had 3 power outlets and light. Now in Texas, all waiting lists are like 50 years long so I'm in an open shade hangar (it should not be called "hangar" though - it really is more open than "hangar" lol) for $125 per month. I was offered a closed T-Hangar in Dallas for like $650 per month but it was too far from where I live and honestly a bit too stiff for me :-/

KCNI usually has at least some availability, good fuel prices and a first class maintenance shop.

I probably needed to ask to include the other monthly costs of a hangar. This is a partial list that I've gleaned from reading many posts here on what people put in their hangars. Got to go with the POA expert advice:

-Wide Screen TV and monthly streaming
-Lazy Boy chair and couch
-Fridge
-Microwave
-Workbench to store snacks and soda

A couple of additions to that list:
Heater (or HVAC if you live further south).
Cold water heater ('cause hot water heaters are redundant)
Range / Oven ('cause you can't microwave real food)
BBQ grill (in case a guy is doing the cooking)
Bathroom with shower

"Course then you can move out of your house / condo / apartment, so you MIGHT save money.

 

[Pugs]

My club pays $2200 a year for a very dated hangar but we were able to update the sliding doors so at least they work well. We do have to pay for electricity and since the plane is plugged in all winter with a cabin heater in it that runs $65 a month on average.

reading about all the people with relatively low cost hangars, I keep thinking of this line from "The Martian"

not sure that worked...I guess it did
