It's never fun to have to leave a 1 star review, but we simply cannot recommend Foster Ravenswood Self Storage. One, they don't have a secure way to take Credit Card information. You have to write down the full Credit Card number, the expiration date, and even the CVV on what looks like a badly photocopied piece of paper. When we had to change the card on file, we had to actually go to the office and complete another dodgy looking form, rather do it online through a website or an app. Surely having to write down your entire Credit Card number with expiration date and CVV is not PCI compliant (and yet I did it anyway). Two, they raised our rate immediately after signing up and then they raised it again shortly after that. We hadn't even had the unit for one year. Our original rate was $47/month when we joined in May, in July it was raised to $59/month, and then in November it was $65/month. Three, we attempted to access our storage unit outside of office hours a few times but the pin pad to get into the building was broken more often than it worked. The last time we went, our car was full of stuff but couldn't get in (again). This was deal breaker for us. Other things that were annoying: there is no dedicated parking, only street parking. The office and lobby area wreak of cigarette smoke. The storage unit itself was fine, but the floor was unfinished. When we went to say we were moving out, there were no questions asked. Just a "what is your unit number?" and "sign here" and "here's your move out receipt". Like ok, bye? ... Read more

Lets start with the website: it lies. Little if any of what is listed there is available. The existence of some of it is denied: “Drive up spaces available now” is the site’s claim, but the elderly grump in the office denies they exist; not that there aren’t such units available at the moment: such units do not exist. Walk behind the building up Ravenswood and THERE THEY ARE! But they don’t exist. Nope. Same with indoor parking: there are a half-dozen cars parked indoors in their CLEARLY VISIBLE FROM OUTSIDE parking-garage: that garage also does not exist, not “no spaces for now,” but “we do not park cars.” Communication is terribly difficult: your emails and phone calls will NOT be returned. Like an Old-Boys Network, you show up in person on their lackadaisical schedule or you will NOT be communicating. Other reviewers point out frustrations with poor management here; either the employees are EXTREMELY MISINFORMED, or management is simply truly awful and allow employees to not work. Or I dealt with an owner who just can’t be bothered to make another $75/month off of doing literally nothing. I’m disappointed, because so many of those who have successfully navigated obtaining access (how?! PLEASE tell us!) report glowingly on this place. 0:10 cannot recommend. ... Read more

RENTERS BEWARE! We rented a storage unit for 5 mos during a move. We had 2 mattresses stored with a few other items ( one Tempur-pedic, one Leesa totaling $3100). When we went to get our mattresses, rainwater had seeped into our unit completely destroying both mattresses. The front desk person was evasive about what the management would cover. After my constant follow up's, management covered only the rental amount for the months we rented. The push back from the organization was "you needed to get the insurance". Well, that would have been acceptable if the damage was caused by my own doing or my property. However, the damage was caused by their facility not being sealed properly. They advertise "climate control". Well, this is completely inaccurate. Sadly.... renter beware. Rent at your own risk. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Foster-Ravenswood Self Storage - 1800 West Foster Avenue has to offer. These amenities include Indoor, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Security Camera and Multi-Level Storage. 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 Foster-Ravenswood Self Storage - 1800 West Foster Avenue can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 20 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 Foster-Ravenswood Self Storage - 1800 West Foster Avenue come at a variety of prices, starting from $29 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $165 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!
