Read some helpful reviews of Chicago Northside Storage at 2946 North Western Avenue, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Communication with the office is easy, and move in day went very smooth. The facility seems clean, with bathrooms, plenty luggage carts, and a sturdy lock for your unit. My only suggestion would be sending a map showing the location of your unit, but all in all we are very happy with their storage service! ... Read more

We had a great experience there. We were there to switch units and Dianne made our change effortlessly. She is friendly and very helpful. She is there to answer any questions and assist you with any issues you may encounter. She is a pleasure to work with. I recommend this facility to anyone looking for a storage unit. Great job! ...

carlos v. - 26 February 2026
I moved here from another facility before COVID and have had a great experience. Parking is never an issue, the building is clean and Diane was super helpful with transferring to a larger unit. You can access your unit pretty much all day and on weekends too so it's very convenient. Highly recommended if you've need a little extra space for your things. ... Read more
Steve M. - 20 February 2026
I had an excellent experience at Northside Storage thanks to Diane. She made my move-in process smooth and stress-free, was incredibly patient, and explained everything clearly. Her professionalism and genuine kindness really stood out, and she always had a welcoming smile. I felt like I stepped out of the city and into a small Midwestern hometown. Outstanding customer service — she’s truly a star! ... Read more

I’ve been renting a storage unit at this facility since 2018. For the first 5–6 years, when it was locally owned, the experience was excellent. Diane at the front desk has always been friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, since the facility was taken over by GoStoreIt, the quality of service has drastically declined. Rent has been raised multiple times, making it difficult to keep up with the increasing costs. Most recently, a $15/month insurance fee was added to my account without my consent—even though my belongings are already covered under my homeowner’s insurance. Attempts to resolve this issue have been frustrating. The phone number that once connected me to the local office now routes to an overseas call center where communication is extremely difficult. After long hold times, I’m told to contact their insurance department, which only leads to a voicemail that no one seems to monitor. As a result, the unauthorized charge has been applied twice, and I’ve even been hit with a late fee. This facility has gone from being a well-run local business to what feels like a poorly managed, impersonal operation. It’s no surprise that GoStoreIt has an F rating with the BBB. As soon as I have time, I’ll be moving my belongings to a different facility. I would not recommend this location to anyone. ... Read more
Matthew F. - 2 September 2025
I had a great experience moving into my storage unit. This storage building is very clean, in a great location, and there is clear signage around the building to let me know where to go. The person who helped me move in was so kind and helpful. She had a lock ready to go, showed me the entrances of the building, showed me to my unit, and was overall very accommodating. My unit was easy to locate and ready for me to move in. Could not have had a better experience, and the price here was cheaper than other places I looked at. Definitely recommend. ... Read more
Autumn F. - 30 August 2025
I chose CNS for a few reasons: 1) Umberto, who is friendly, personable, and who helped me make a good decision on the space I chose. He is just a very nice man. He put me at ease; 2) Diane, who is friendly, warm, helpful, and who, as the movers were bringing my stuff into the building, suggested a smaller space might work. I didn't take her suggestion, but I appreciated that she was looking out for me; 3) the building and spaces: I liked that they were humble, clean, and all that is needed to keep my stuff safe and secure. Other places I looked at were nice, but to my mind, unnecessarily slick. I felt I would spend $ on appearance, not substance. Highly recommended! ... Read more
Barry G. - 13 April 2025
During a stressful move after the death of my husband, the owners of Chicago Northside eased our transition to IL. The facility is very clean. The owners/staff are helpful and kind. To say we are thankful is an understatement. No reservations. ... Read more
Marquita B. - 11 April 2025
We are finally moving out this month after storing an entire 1 bedroom apartment worth of furniture and stuff for 9 years. All that time in one of the upper floor storage spaces that is not heated or air conditioned and all of our stuff survived without any signs of critters, mold, or mildew! I'm actually amazed! We have been living over 1000 miles away and rarely even set eyes on it over that time, and it was like opening a sealed time-capsule. Everything is as it was, and we are very relieved and happy. I highly recommend this place. The CC staff is helpful and friendly, the moving carts are handy, big elevator, loading dock, free 12 foot truck available for local move in and move out, clean bathrooms, convenient secure location right on the North Branch Chicago River on Western and Diversy, several sizes and climate control options available. ...

Mike M. - 7 March 2025
Northside Storage is an absolute gem. I am so fortunate to have found them. Diane and Humberto are very professional and accommodating. They keep the building so clean and Diane's seasonal decorations make the office area so inviting. I really appreciate the opportunity to use the truck whenever I needed to move items in and out. I heartily recommend them! ... Read more
Sharon S. - 3 January 2025
Great location and the most helpful staff working it. Family-owned, and Diane was so friendly and accommodating! She even switched me to an available/better unit closer to the door before I moved my stuff in, and was available for questions as needed. The carts left inside the building to help move my things were very helpful. A very reasonable price for storage units. Look no further!! ... Read more
Jane G. - 12 October 2024
Clean facilite and very friendly and helpful staff. The original unit I was assigned had a recent roof leak repair that they wanted to verify was sufficient and they decided to switch me to a different unit so my belongings would be safe. The pull in garage is very spacious and they have carts and trolleys available to make unloading easier. After hours access with your own personal door code is a huge plus as well. The online portal is easy to use and setting up the rental online is very straightforward. ... Read more

The unit size that you should choose obviously depends on how much stuff you need to store.

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.

If you're looking to store such items that are valuable to you, consider renting a climate-controlled unit!
