Update*** I had an amazing experience with Bella at Affordable Family Storage on March 15! From the moment I walked in, she went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. Her positive attitude and willingness to help truly set her apart. She made the entire process smooth and stress-free, answering all my questions with patience and kindness. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to customer service, and Bella’s exceptional care makes me want to refer everyone I know to this location. If you’re looking for a storage facility with top-notch service, Affordable Family Storage—especially with Bella’s help—is the place to go! Bella at the front desk was very helpful.

When we first got a unit here it was nice. Climate controlled and affordable. The last 6 months we went to get items it has turned into an unsafe place. The door was broken and it was freezing cold where we could see our breath definitely not climate controlled. We had bird poop on our items. The prices keep increasing it however safety has gone down. I emptied my storage unit on 1/25/25 got there at 9:30 could not get in there was no notification of issues occurring had to wait to gain access at 12pm. The homeless lady at main entrance woke up and told us a water main burst or something. Was so kind of her wonder how long that had been her home. Waited around til noon to get in the place is dirty and cold. Packed up all my items and left before the next price increase took effect 2/1/25. ... Read more

These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage and Online Payment. 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 Affordable Family Storage - 3400 East 33rd can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 150 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 Affordable Family Storage - 3400 East 33rd come at a variety of prices, starting from $20 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $70 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!
