Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 2101 West Howard Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Laquitha gave such phenomenal service, she did not stop until we found the correct unit and within our price range. She was so patient, even took a payment from another customer all while still serving us....you guys need more like her just awesome ... Read more
AJAYI O. - 13 February 2026
Terrible experience from start to finish. We informed them weeks in advance via live chat that we would be moving out. We then vacated and cleaned the unit on Jan 29, 2026. There was no staff on-site at the facility, so we again used live chat, and customer service confirmed closure. Despite all that, they kept adding charges/late fees and sending payment demands. No proper direct email support, no reliable follow-through, and customers are left chasing billing errors for a unit already vacated. Very disappointing and stressful. ... Read more
Baha G. - 11 February 2026
This facility is clean and well maintained. The agent on duty is pleasant and professional. My only critique is that they do not have enough rolling carts and the ones that are there are too small. Most people needing storage have large pieces. Rendering their carts useless. ... Read more
David R. - 1 February 2026
I had a smooth experience at this Public Storage location. The facility was clean, secure, and easy to access. Staff were helpful when needed, and move-out was straightforward with no issues. Overall, a convenient and reliable storage option that met my needs. ... Read more

I rented a space at the beginning of June and they just informed me that my rent will be going up by 43% as of Oct 1. So you get a few months to get yourself moved and settled in and then they throw a huge increase at you. I'm out of town for the next 6 weeks but even once I'm back, it will be a huge job to move everything out to another place at this point, so I'll probably just swallow the increase for now, but others should be aware. This issue aside, I have no complaints about the place—the staff are helpful, and the place is clean. ... Read more

I have two separate units here (business and personal) and it is SO easy to load in and out. Special shout out to SHANDA! Thank you for helping me find my new space today, and thank you even more for saving my TV!!! ... Read more
Nodd P. - 21 July 2025
I had an outstanding experience at the Public Storage on Howard today, thanks to Rebecca. From the moment she opened the door, she was incredibly attentive and professional. She immediately asked the right questions, gave me all the key information I needed, and was proactive in helping me find the right unit. I wasn’t ready to commit at first, but she still took the time to walk me through multiple options without any pressure. Her attention to detail, clear communication, and amazing customer service truly made all the difference. In the end, I chose the unit and honestly, I chose it because of her. Rebecca is exceptional! ... Read more
karla c. - 19 April 2025
This place is absolute garbage. I don’t recommend you rent a unit. My husband and I rented a unit here because it is convieniently close to our home and this was a mistake. The elevators are always broken, the property manager is incredibly rude and gives you wrong information. There are broken windows throughout the building. Don’t throw your money away. ... Read more
Jennifer C. - 10 March 2025
Laquitha is AMAZING! She is very nice and friendly, was very helpful to my friend and I. We got everything accomplished that we came for, plus more! She’s a great asset! Will definitely come back, especially for her. Thank you!! ... Read more
Willie H. - 23 February 2025
Was looking for a more budget friendly storage option for business equipment. This facility fit the budget and location. We did experience some bumps in finding the right fit in an aging building, but staff Laquitha and Shonda were incredibly helpful and found the right fit at the right price. ... Read more

I left furniture and boxes here for 6 months. The storage unit was clean and fairly standard. The move out experience, however, was the reason for my 2-star review. When I came in mid-December to empty my unit I found no carts. I’m not sure why there were no carts, but a woman unaffiliated with Public Storage told me she thinks they were stolen. In addition, neither elevator worked. I had to carry all of my belongings up a flight of stairs to move which made it take 3x as long. Full disclose: I was there on a Sunday, so perhaps that was the reason for the lack of carts? Even so, management should have let me know that beforehand as I used the online portal to request a Sunday move out. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Public Storage - 2101 West Howard Street has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, Elevators, First Floor Access, Multi-Level Storage, Online Payment and RV 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 Public Storage - 2101 West Howard Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 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 - 2101 West Howard Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $27 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $664 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!
