Read some helpful reviews of Affordable Family Storage at 1851 Madison Avenue #300, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

We were there for over a year and the elevator never functioned. When we complained, they told us it was a convenience and not necessary anyway. That goes to show how much they really care. This is also supposed to be a secure facility and the gate to get in has been broken for at least two weeks. They increased their rates at an appalling frequency! After only four months, we had a rate increase of $30 a month. And it seems to happen every four months. They are also supposed to be climate controlled, and in one building the heat doesn’t work, and the other building the air conditioner doesn’t work.If you are looking for storage, I definitely would not look here. ...

I have to change previous review. This is not a secure facility. Main doors haven’t functioned in at least a year. In 3 years rent has gone from $105 to $156 and they fix nothing. They are impossible to contact and only allow auto withdraw. They will not process any over or underpayment. My door has never stayed taller than me and I’m 5’ 2”! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Affordable Family Storage - 1851 Madison Avenue #300 has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, 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 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.

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!
