Read some helpful reviews of Park Avenue Self Storage at 5295 Park Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

I inherited special items from my parents, which I needed to place in storage. I searched for clean, well-maintained, temperature controlled storage units in the Des Moines metro area and was very happy to find Rich Leonard and Park Avenue Self Storage. The security and cleanliness of his units are second to none. The owner, Rich, is friendly and easy to work with. I give this 5-star facility my highest recommendation for taking good care of precious family items. ... Read more

Rich was so easy to work with. My emails were answered within 24 hours, and when meeting in person to sign paperwork, he got me set up in under 30 minutes and answered all questions. The facility is clean and very secure, so I have no worries about storing property there. The part that I think is best is that this is a local business, not a huge corporation. You're dealing directly with the owner. You just do not get that level of service and interaction at most places. I will rent space only from Park Avenue Self storage going forward if I have the need. ... Read more

My wife and I rented with Park Avenue Self Storage for approximately 2 years as we transitioned from DSM to Mexico and back into a new home. The owner and manager, Rich was easy to work with and very accommodating with all our needs. The cleanliness of our unit and the entire facility combined with the secured and gated property ensured our items were safe and secure. We would recommend Park Avenue Self Storage for anyone with storage needs. Thank you, Rich! ... Read more

We decided on this company for being family owned and operated. We have used the storage units in both non-climate and climate controlled. All areas were secure and checked regularly. We were treated with respect. They were courteous, friendly, and professional. When we needed to change units or add a unit for a family member, they guided us through the process. Highly recommend! ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Park Avenue Self Storage - 5295 Park Avenue has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, 24 hour access, Drive-Up Access, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Security Camera, Gate, Kiosk Available, Parking and Credit Cards Accepted. 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!
