Read some helpful reviews of Public Storage at 2050 Green Bay Road, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

The reviews on here must be totally fake. This place is a complete disaster. The building is very old and dirty. Worst thing is that when temperature changes outside, it gets very wet and humid inside, so all your belongings will get destroyed over time (see attached picture: the entire ceiling was wet and dripping on my stuff). There is also mold everywhere. Sure, it says not climate controlled, but when renting I did not sign up for a wet cave. When I reported this, manager just said there is nothing they can do. THIS PLACE IS A TOTAL DISASTER. Avoid at all costs! ... Read more

Steve was exceptionally helpful. Both my adult kids live in the Chicago area and kept telling me we would NEVER find a reasonable and safe storage unit near them. Public Storage in Evanston proved them wrong! ... Read more

I've been renting a unit at the Public Storage facility on Green Bay Rd. For a couple of years now. I have quite a few items that need storage and a place that is close to my residence. Which this facility is. It's very convenient for me. Every time I come to check or store something else in my unit. I'm always impressed with how clean and secure the premises is. You can chalk up the last two things i said about the facility being clean and secure because of the on-site manager Andre. He's always out walking the property and assisting the guests, be it locating the carts or showing or providing information about the different storage units. Thanks again to Public Storage and Andre for reassuring me that I made the right choice to use the Green Bay Rd location ... Read more

I've been renting a unit at the public storage on green bay road going on 3 years now. One thing that always amazes me is the professionalism and general common decency that I get from Andre, the properties manager there. I had gotten behind on my payment.....I thought I had autopay setup. I didn't, lol. Anyway, my unit was about to go for auction. Needless to say, I was not happy, but after speaking to Andre about my concern. He provided me with the proper information, including breaking down the cost and extra charges my account faced. Andre guided me through the proper procedures to help bring my account up to date. I didn't feel embarrassed. I think Andre's calm and professional demeanor helped in making me feel at ease. I wish more people were like him. Thanks again to Andre and the public storage team. ... Read more

We needed to rent two storage units. We picked Public Storage for their close proximity and reasonable price. When there was not two adjacent units, Nila and Andre (Public Storage Employees), were persistent and somehow found 2 units close to each other. Both Nila and Andre made numerous follow-up phone calls. During that time they were patient and never expressed any frustration. I highly recommend Public Storage and their staff for their excellent service. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Public Storage - 2050 Green Bay Road 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, 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 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!
