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

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

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

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. ...

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 storage units offered by Chicago Northside Storage - 2946 North Western Avenue can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 24 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.

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!
