4.8/5 - 344 Reviews

Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 20 East University Drive, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Maleigha was very helpful. I rented a unit with her assistance. She took the time to answer several questions before I was comfortable with my renting decision. **September '25 update** Shanena the building manager is great and very helpful. If it were based on her alone, the rating would still be 5 stars. I am changing my rating to bring awareness for potential renters about Public Storage's greed policy. I had completely moved out on the first of the month and a message was left due to the holiday. Public Storage will still charge the entire month's rent, while not providing you access to the unit for the rest of the month. They can essentially collect rent twice from two different renters for the same month. They are covered by the signed policy, but to offer no prorate or leniency option is very greedy. Any future renters should be aware of this. ... Read more

We placed a reservation to come in & view the unit to get an idea of the size & space before we can confirm the order. Within few min. Shanena reached out to us which was very helpful. She sounded very courteous & helpful, so we confidently booked an appointment to visit the facility. She happily greeted us upon arrival, showed us to the unit & explained us how the reservations/cancellations work. She made us feel comfortable as this is the first time ever we are planning to do the move ourselves. She understood our hesitation and provided many available options with other locations as well. Great job !! Kudos to her. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Public Storage - 20 East University Drive has to offer. These amenities include 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 Public Storage - 20 East University Drive can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 20 to 300 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 Public Storage - 20 East University Drive come at a variety of prices, starting from $25 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $316 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!
