Shamika Store Manager at the Downtown L.A. location is awesome. She took care of me and it was a great experience. I watched her juggle multiple clients without anyone feeling like they were being ignored. She's truly a professional. ... Read more

Sandy did an awesome job if wasn’t for her I probably would have had a panic attack. She was so helpful and made sure that she stayed in contact with me until she resolved my issue. I truly feel like my stuff is completely safe thanks to her. ... Read more

I want to thank shekima the store manager at SecureSpace Self Storage on Essex St for making it a great experience on renting a storage unit and for going above and beyond to assisting me in being able to get a unit and making me feel very welcomed and comfortable there. Shekima is an absolute amazing manager who makes her customers feel at home and really cares about her customers.

Its been along time since I have had good customer service.. Let alone great . Mario who works at the counter greeted me the moment I stepped in. He was approachable and genuinely interested in getting my needs met. After he helped me locate the item, we started a genuine conversation over my son's Halloween costume. I left feeling a lot more happier than when I walked in. Thank you Mario. ... Read more
Benny T. - 21 October 2025
At first this seemed like the perfect storage solution and the best one available. It's clean, secure, and had easy low prices. (I was told by staff while moving in that these prices were locked and would not change, this is what every other storage company does anyway, but still, it is a blatant lie and the increase at 6 months was quite a lot) Now, bathroom only available once in a while and there is no parking for on-level loading because they've filled the entire lot with more storage units. Curb parking is wildly risky and you'll have to bring your items down a steep parking ramp to even get into the building. Go ahead and use them if you want the same treatment by any other storage company, eventually pay the same exact prices and no parking available in an unsafe area. ... Read more
Sarah H. - 3 September 2025
Unacceptable! You all need to get this taken care of and stop fooling people online. The level of homeless, drug use, trash, debris outside of the facility is horrible. I didn’t even get out my car, to receive my refund. I had to call a call service agent to do it. ... Read more
Fallon S. - 28 August 2025
I want to start off by saying they have great staff from my experience. Staff member Janet is very professional,courteous, and attentive. She's always asking if there's anything she can do to help to make my stay here at secure space better and easier. Also I would like to mention how great the prices are compared to other storage facilities. If you want to store your property in a clean place and have some sort of peace of mind of the safety of your property and not break your wallet? This would definitely be the place. Make sure you ask for janet. ... Read more
John H. - 27 August 2025
I want to give a huge shoutout to Janett for her superb help and excellent customer service! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Janet was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and patient throughout the entire process. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and genuinely caring. Thank you, Janett, for your outstanding support you truly made a difference! ... Read more

My name is Terry and I had an amazing experience working with Raven at Secure Storage! From the moment I walked in, she was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful. Raven went above and beyond to make sure I found the right storage unit that fit my needs and budget. She answered all my questions with patience and made the entire process so easy and stress free. What really stood out was her genuine care for customers you can tell she takes pride in her work and wants everyone to have a positive experience. The facility was clean, well maintained, and secure, which gave me peace of mind knowing my belongings were in good hands. Thank you, Raven, for providing outstanding customer service! I highly recommend Secure Storage to anyone needing storage solutions — and if you can, definitely ask for Raven. She’s the best! ... Read more
Sportsimony - 8 March 2025
HUGE THANKS TO RAVEN!!!!! She was so helpful and and absolute delight!!! :D Me and my partner had to put our belongings into storage back in Dec 2024. Then this month of March I had to start my own lease on a smaller unit and transfer my things from the first unit to this new unit. Raven was a huge help in that process. She made sure I was getting the best price and even showed me exactly where the unit was so I didn't waste time getting lost in the aisles. I think she may already be the manager but either way Raven deserves a PROMOTION AND A RAISE! A+++ Also, don't believe some of these bad reviews. This storage facility is SECURE, safe, clean, well lit and I sleep well at night knowing my sentimental items are safe and secure. THANK YOU SECURE SPACE SELF STORAGE LA at ESSEX! ... Read more
Deka T. - 6 March 2025
Wow! What an experience. Never had used storage before and for this to be a first time, I would have to say that it was more than amazing. There were 2 lovely ladies on duty. One with cool blue hair and another with short hair(they wrote their names, but the card was lost in the shuffle :( If you’re looking for a great facility with great service. Go here! ... Read more
Terry T. - 25 February 2025
DO NOT USE THIS STORAGE COMPANY WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! If I could give this place zero stars, I would. This was hands down the worst experience I’ve ever had with a storage company. First, the elevators were completely out of service for almost a month, forcing us to haul all of our belongings down the stairs when moving out. This was an absolute nightmare and completely unacceptable for a facility that claims to be professional. Then, when we moved out, I removed my lock, and the woman in the office confirmed that everything was all set. Yet, despite this, I started receiving bills for the unit I had already vacated! I called five separate times over the course of a month, and every time, I was told that no one could get a hold of the manager. No one could give me a clear answer or resolve the issue. After multiple failed attempts to get this sorted out over the phone, I had no choice but to drive all the way from Santa Clarita just to deal with this mess in person—only to be met with an employee in the office who wasn’t even able to help me. She told me to wait in my car because she had to go figure out what was going on with another person‘s lock. Meanwhile, they kept sending me bills, including late fees for a unit I no longer occupied. On top of all this, the facility is extremely short-staffed, and even their entry gate was broken. This company is completely unorganized, unprofessional, and incompetent. Unless you enjoy poor customer service, broken equipment, extra fees, and a total headache, DO NOT use this storage facility. I am not the type of person who usually leaves reviews, but this experience was so awful that I had to warn others. Save yourself the trouble. Please. go anywhere else. I regret ever using this place, and I am beyond relieved that I never have to deal with them again. ... Read more
Jennel X. - 21 February 2025
Daron provided wonderful support. He was professional and personable in his approach. As an Industrial Organizational Psychologist, I will say, if the rest of the team reflects Daron's genuineness, professionalism, and knowledge, this location will thrive very well. In addition to the cleanliness, safety measures, and overall facility environment. I am glad that I took my time in choosing the perfect location. I couldn't be more pleased. February 2, 2025 update: As a consumer, be mindful when covering the possible monthly price increases. As my rate has increased from $69 to $109 in just four months. I honestly feel taken advantage of and the possibility of price gouging being inflicted on me. Once back in the local area I will be moving my things out. It's no longer worth storing there for the time I was hoping for. ... Read more

These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment.

The storage units offered by SecureSpace Self Storage - 1535 Essex Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 50 to 220 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 SecureSpace Self Storage - 1535 Essex Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $228 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $882 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!
