Storage units in Minnesota

Mpls Storage January 1, 2022 If one does the research, or has rented in Public Storage somewhere, one may find that there are rules given to you when you rent a space to store belongings. Private storage, whether it be in someone’s home or in a rental facility, also has rules and safeguards different from Public Storage. Prices are lower in Private Storage. As an individual who has used both, I prefer the Private Storage locker called `Mpls Storage. In Public Storage, the unit rented costs approximately double for the size at a privately owned storage unit. In addition, one pays more for 24 hour access. This means you can come and go any time of day or night. You may be subject to vetting so that you are deemed to be unlikely to harass other storage users. When working for a political campaign, it was important to have accessibility late after fundraisers to be able to store equipment etc. Still, there are persons who may accost you who have no business being inside. They may enter along with a vehicle unnoticed and sneak up on you even though there are many cameras there. I found this very unsettling! There are buzzers to push to get help, which is useful, but still unnerving. It takes some time for the police to arrive. There may be homeless who rent a unit and live in it, though that is not legal. Litter is hard to avoid in public storage. Trucks or cars may hem you in if you’re in a hurry and you have to try to find the people who are moving in or out to get them to move their vehicle so you can leave, with little or no help from the office staff. In Mpls. Storage, which is a family-owned business, the rules are clearly written, and you are given a copy upon rental. You are expected to show up on time for an appointment to visit your storage unit. The facility is kept clean, carts are always available to help move your belongings to or from your vehicle to your unit. I have rented in this facility for over ten years, at half the price of Public Storage. I have never encountered anyone who does not belong there. This is a clean facility in which I feel safe. H.

A very nice facility with tight security & clean units that seem to be well maintained. I've never had any sign of mice in my unit's.

Smooth experience, helpful employees, good rates.

Wonderful to work with

Always friendly and helpful team staff to answer any questions. Pretty straight forward with there pricing and hours of operation. Easy access with gate door and numberic key pad to get in. Lock and key worked even though the unit door was a little janky to slide open. But overall good experience. Im glad I was able to have a storage unit available for time I needed it. Clean and climate controlled kept all my items safe and free from damage. Would rent again if I had to and recommend to others.

Great company am currently renting a unit and have in the past, would highly recommend.

I feel my property is safe and I feel safe goin into the facility. My old storage place a popular storage facility was not safe and my unit was broken into and all my valuable possessions was taken. Over $5000 taken from me and not half given back with their insurance. Will never go there again. Gopher storage made me feel safe and valued as a customer, I’m not just a unit, they made me feel like a person, family. Thank you so much for the peace of mind.
