                                PROXY STATEMENT

                         ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

                               December 17, 1996

                                    GENERAL

        This Proxy Statement (first mailed to shareholders on or about November
22, 1996) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of
Directors of Public Storage Properties XI, Inc. (the "Company") of proxies,
including the enclosed Proxy, for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of
Shareholders to be held at the Company's offices at 701 Western Avenue, Suite
200, Glendale, California at 11:00 a.m. on December 17, 1996 (the "1996 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders") or at any adjournment of the meeting.  The purposes of
the meeting are (1) to elect three directors of the Company and (2) to consider
and act upon such other matters as may properly come before the meeting or any
adjournment of the meeting.

        Shares of Common Stock represented by a Proxy in the accompanying form,
if the Proxy is properly executed and is received by the Company before the
voting, will be voted in the manner specified on the Proxy.  If no specification
is made, the shares will be voted FOR the election as directors of the nominees
named hereinafter.  The persons designated as proxies reserve full discretion to
cast votes for other persons if any of the nominees become unavailable to serve.
A Proxy is revocable by delivering a subsequently signed and dated Proxy or
other written notice to the Secretary of the Company at any time before its
exercise.  A Proxy may also be revoked if the person executing the Proxy is
present at the meeting and chooses to vote in person.

        The Company was formed in June 1990 for the purpose of succeeding to the
business of Public Storage Properties XI, Ltd. (the "Partnership") in a
reorganization transaction (the "Reorganization").  The Partnership's general
partners (the "General Partners") were PSI Associates II, Inc. and B. Wayne
Hughes.  The Reorganization was effective at midnight December 31, 1990 and
subsequently, the Partnership was dissolved.  The Company has elected to be
taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for federal income tax
purposes.

        In 1995, there were a series of mergers among Public Storage Management,
Inc. (which was the Company's mini-warehouse property operator) ("PSMI"), Public
Storage, Inc. and their affiliates, culminating in the November 16, 1995 merger
(the "PSMI Merger") of PSMI into Storage Equities, Inc.  As a result of the PSMI
Merger, Storage Equities, Inc. was renamed Public Storage, Inc. ("PSI") and PSI
acquired substantially all of the United States real estate operations of PSMI
and became the operator of the Company's mini-warehouse properties.

        The Company's 1996 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held jointly
with the annual meetings of shareholders of the following corporations that were
involved in reorganization transactions similar to the Reorganization:  Public
Storage Properties XIV, Inc., Public Storage Properties XV, Inc., Public Storage
Properties XVI, Inc., Public Storage Properties XVII, Inc., Public Storage
Properties XVIII, Inc., Public Storage Properties XIX, Inc. and Public Storage
Properties XX, Inc.
<PAGE>
 
                                 QUORUM AND VOTING

        The presence at the meeting in person or by proxy of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock Series A,
Common Stock Series B and Common Stock Series C (the "Common Stock"), counted
together as a single class, is necessary to constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business.

        Only holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on
November 11, 1996 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to vote at the meeting,
or at any adjournment of the meeting.  On the Record Date, the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Company was 1,819,937 shares of Common Stock
Series A, 184,453 shares of Common Stock Series B and 522,618 shares of Common
Stock Series C.

        With respect to the election of directors, each holder of Common Stock
on the Record Date is entitled to cast as many votes as there are directors to
be elected multiplied by the number of shares registered in his name on the
Record Date.  The holder may cumulate his votes for directors by casting all of
his votes for one candidate or by distributing his votes among as many
candidates as he chooses.  In voting upon any other proposal that might properly
come before the meeting, each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for
each share registered in his name, with all holders of Common Stock Series A,
Common Stock Series B and Common Stock Series C voting together as a single
class.

                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        Three directors, constituting the entire Board of Directors, are to be
elected at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to hold office until the next
annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified.  When the
accompanying Proxy is properly executed and returned to the Company before the
voting, the persons named in the Proxy will vote the shares represented by the
Proxy as indicated on the Proxy.  If any nominee below becomes unavailable for
any reason or if any vacancy on the Company's Board of Directors occurs before
the election, the shares represented by any Proxy voting for that nominee will
be voted for the person, if any, designated by the Board of Directors to replace
the nominee or to fill the vacancy on the Board.  However, the Board of
Directors has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unavailable or that
any vacancy on the Board of Directors will occur.  The following persons are
nominees for directors:

        The Company's properties are operated under Management Agreements,
pursuant to which the Company paid fees to PSMI (and now pays fees to PSI) and
pays fees to Public Storage Commercial Properties Group, Inc. ("PSCP").  See
"Management Agreements" under "Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation -- Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" below.  PSMI
and (prior to November 16, 1995) PSCP were controlled by B. Wayne Hughes and
members of his family (the "Hughes Family").

          COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

        The Company does not have a compensation committee.  Mr. Hughes, the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is a member of the Board of Directors.
Mr. Hughes is a director and the chief executive officer of the 10 Public
Storage REITs (and during all or part of 1995, Mr. Hughes was a director and the
chief executive officer of PSP6, PSP7, PSP9, PSP10, PSP12 and PSBP).  Mr. Hughes
also is the chief executive officer and a director of PSI, of which Harvey
Lenkin, President of the Company, is the president and a director (and during
1995, Mr. Hughes was also a director and the chief executive officer of SPI, of
which Mr. Lenkin was the president and a director).  Neither PSI nor any of the
10 Public Storage REITs has (nor did PSP6, PSP7, PSP9, PSP10, PSP12, PSBP or SPI
have) a compensation committee.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

        Management Agreements.  The Company has Management Agreements with PSI
(as successor-in-interest to PSMI) and PSCP.  Under the Management Agreements,
the Company pays PSI (and previously paid


                                       6
<PAGE>
 
PSMI) a fee of 6% of the gross revenues of the mini-warehouse spaces operated
for the Company and pays PSCP a fee of 5% of the gross revenues of the Company's
non-miniwarehouse properties.  During 1995, the Company paid or accrued fees of
$296,000 to PSMI, $43,000 to PSI and $61,000 to PSCP pursuant to the Management
Agreements with respect to 1995 management fees (i.e., exclusive of the
prepayment described below).  PSMI and (prior to November 16, 1995) PSCP were
controlled by the Hughes Family (subsequent to November 16, 1995, PSI has a 95%
economic interest and the Hughes Family has a 5% economic interest in PSCP).
Mr. Hughes was a director of PSMI and is a director and officer of PSI and
certain of the other officers of the Company were also directors and officers of
PSMI and are also directors and officers of PSI and PSCP.

        For as long as the respective Management Agreement is in effect, PSI has
granted the Company a non-exclusive license to use two PSI service marks and
related designs (and PSCP has granted the Company a non-exclusive license to use
a PSI service mark and related designs), including the "Public Storage" name, in
conjunction with rental and operation of facilities operated pursuant to the
Management Agreement.  Upon termination of the respective Management Agreement,
the Company would no longer have the right to use the service marks and related
designs except as described below.

        In February 1995, the Management Agreements were amended primarily to
revise the termination provisions.  Each Management Agreement as so amended
provides that the Management Agreement will expire in February 2002 provided
that in February of each year it shall be automatically extended for one year
(thereby maintaining a seven-year term) unless either party notifies the other
that the Management Agreement is not being extended, in which case it expires,
on the first anniversary of its then scheduled expiration date.  Each Management
Agreement may also be terminated by either party for cause, but if terminated
for cause by the Company, the Company retains the rights to use the service
marks and related designs until the then scheduled expiration date, if
applicable, or otherwise a date seven years after such termination.

        In August 1995, the Management Agreement with PSMI was amended to
provide that upon demand from PSI or PSMI made prior to December 15, 1995, the
Company agreed to prepay (within 15 days after such demand) up to 12 months of
management fees (based on the management fees for the comparable period during
the calendar year immediately preceding such prepayment) discounted at the rate
of 14% per year to compensate for early payment.  The Company's disinterested
directors approved such prepayment.  In November 1995, the Company prepaid to
PSI eight months of 1996 management fees at a cost of $205,000.

        Distributions on Reorganization Shares.  During 1995, the Company paid
an affiliate of PSMI and B. Wayne Hughes an aggregate of $21,780 and $200,685 of
distributions on the shares of Common Stock Series A and Common Stock Series B,
respectively, received by them (or their predecessor in interest) in the
Reorganization.  The affiliate of PSMI was controlled by the Hughes Family.

        Loans from an Affiliate of PSMI.  In January 1995, the Company borrowed
$50,000 from an affiliate of PSMI for working capital purposes.  The loan, which
was repaid in February 1995, bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the
prime interest rate plus  1/4% (which was equal to the PSMI affiliate's cost of
funds).  The loan was approved by the Company's disinterested directors.

        In April and May 1995, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $145,000
from an affiliate of PSMI for working capital purposes.  The loan, which was
repaid in May 1995, bore interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime
interest rate plus  1/4%.  The loan was approved by the Company's disinterested
directors.

                       REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
                           ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        The Company does not have a compensation committee.  The Company has
seven executive officers (six executive officers prior to November 1996), one of
whom is B. Wayne Hughes, the Chief Executive Officer.

Executive Compensation

        The salaries paid by the Company to the Company's executive officers in
1995 for services related to the Company were equal to the amounts specified in
the Company's Prospectus and Proxy Statement dated October 5, 1990 relating to
the Reorganization.  Any increases in this compensation will require the
approval of the Company's disinterested directors, but no such increases were
made during 1995.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

        The salary paid by the Company to B. Wayne Hughes, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, in 1995 for services related to the Company was equal to the
amount specified in the Company's Prospectus and Proxy Statement dated October
5, 1990 relating to the Reorganization.


                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

                         STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE GRAPH
                                        
        The graph set forth below compares the quarterly change in the Company's
cumulative total shareholder return on its Common Stock Series A for the period
from March 27, 1991 (commencement of trading) to December 31, 1995 to the
cumulative total return of the American Stock Exchange Market Value Index ("AMEX
Index") and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts Equity
Index ("NAREIT Equity Index") for the same period (total shareholder return
equals price appreciation plus dividends).  The stock price performance graph
assumes that the value of the investment in the Company's Common Stock Series A
and each index was $100 on March 27, 1991 and that all dividends were
reinvested.  The stock price performance shown in the graph is not necessarily
indicative of future price performance.

                     Comparison of Cumulative Total Return
     Public Storage Properties XI, Inc., AMEX Index and NAREIT Equity Index
