I was sweetly greeted by Ariana the moment I entered the facility. She was professional and very detailed in the information she gave me regarding the type of unit I was interested in. She went above and beyond the normal “showing” and provided me with written notes, and later made paper copies of what we discussed regarding the rental unit. She was a true professional with the most delightful attitude. Thank you, Ariana, you were great. :) ... Read more

deyonne b. - 3 November 2024
I just started my rental today so this review is based on opening your account. I did a quick Google search, found the best prices were A-1, chose my option and started to check out, had a question so I called the number, got an even better offer with suggestions for my needs and I'm so happy I called. The operator made it so easy and was so nice. It was a quick and convenient process. ... Read more
Kathy O. - 18 October 2024
Friendly and efficient staff. I signed up online, where it is not disclosed that as a new customer I needed to present myself in person and show my ID at the office. This would not have been a problem, had I known ahead of time that the office hours were different than the facility hours (office closes at 6pm, facility closes at 10pm). This cost me an extra day of truck rental. ... Read more

These amenities include Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Security Camera, Gate, Kiosk Available, Credit Cards Accepted, Elevators, First Floor Access, 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 A-1 Self Storage - 4981 Spring Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 250 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 A-1 Self Storage - 4981 Spring Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $104 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!
