He took the time to answer all my questions and ensured I felt confident in my decision. It’s rare to find customer service this good these days, and it truly made all the difference. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for reliable storage and someone you can trust. Huge thanks to Teo—you’ve made a potentially stressful process incredibly easy! ... Read more

Yazmin R. - 28 January 2025
Do not fall to this scam. They raised the rent every 6 months and the last time a 10x10 was jacked $65 to $250. They offer discounts at the start but they know you are a hostage and unlikely to move and they take full advantage. Unethical rip off. ... Read more

Ciera is literally the kindest, most helpful person ever. I’ve had my unit for two years and have had no problems. Am only moving out because I’m moving states, but am so happy to have found a safe and secure place for my things. Highly, highly recommend! ... Read more

These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Truck Rentals, Security Camera, Parking, Credit Cards Accepted, 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 Self Storage 1 - 2001 North Elston Avenue can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 500 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 Self Storage 1 - 2001 North Elston Avenue come at a variety of prices, starting from $85 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $825 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!
