Read some helpful reviews of Extra Space Storage at 1539 East Main Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Carina S. - 27 October 2025
I needed some storage to assist with the sudden passing of a family member. It was a very tragic situation and this was not something I was looking forward to. I found that the ability to sign up for storage online was extremely easy. I have ample space. The cost is reasonable. And I wanted to pay a special compliment to Galen the site manager at the El Cajon facility on East Main street. I had several questions since I've never used a storage unit before and she was extremely professional, very thorough, easy to understand, and really the epitome of customer service. She helps make the entire experience that much easier. Very grateful. ... Read more

Sossity C. - 19 August 2025
Sign up was quite easy and the storage units a good value for the size. Access to the unit was also quite easy once I found where it was at. It would have been nice to have a map to show me where the storage unit was, kind of like they have in a mall. Other than that everything is clean and secure ... Read more

These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, 24 hour access, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Elevators, Multi-Level Storage, Online Payment and RV Storage. Most of these amenities can prove to be very useful depending on what you need to store. For example, climate-controlled units can come in handy for keeping sensitive items, drive-up access can make your loading and unloading process easier, and extra security measures will ensure your items are kept safe at all times.

The storage units offered by Extra Space Storage - 1539 East Main Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 20 to 300 square feet. You can go for smaller units if you don't have a lot of items to store, while choosing a larger space is recommended in case you need to store a lot of furniture, bigger items or even vehicles.

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store. On the one hand, you should think of smaller units (5'x5' or 5'x10') as closets – they can be used to store chairs, lamps, moving boxes and sports equipment, along with smaller pieces of furniture, books and documents.

On the other hand, the 10'x10' and 10'x15' spaces are good for storing larger items of furniture, bicycles and a larger number of possessions. If you need even more space, then 10'x20' and 10'x30' units can easily accommodate the contents of an entire 3- or 4-bedroom house.

Storage units offered by Extra Space Storage - 1539 East Main Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $43 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $498 a month.

We know that when it comes to self storage, there is nothing more important than quickness and accessibility. Drive-up access is an extremely convenient amenity, as you can park your vehicle right next to your unit, making it significantly easier to load and unload the items you will use storage for. However, drive-up storage units tend to be outdoors, so you might consider indoor storage spaces with climate control if you're looking to keep temperature-sensitive items in peak condition.

Yes, you might, depending on what you need to put in storage. Climate-controlled spaces keep temperatures and humidity levels consistent all the time, which means they are perfect for storing sensitive items. Seeing that a whole host of things can be damaged by varying temperatures and excessive moisture, many people choose to rent climate-controlled units for personal items such as documents, photographs, paintings, collectibles, electronics, wooden furniture, antiques and even vehicles. If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
