I stored my motorcycle at Elm Storage and Angel was super friendly, helpful, and informative as soon as I came in the door. Angel went out of his way to greet me each time I came to check on my bike, and will treat you good if you store anything with them. I will be going back next season to store my bike, and if I ever need to store anything or rent a Uhual I will go to Elm Storage because of Angel. ... Read more

If it was possible to leave zero stars, I would. DO NOT RENT WITH THIS FACILITY. I have had nothing but dissatisfying service, empty promises, and excuses ever since the facility came under the new management in January. I am typically a very easygoing and understanding individual, but I spent more money, time, and stress dealing with this facility and its owner/employees than the cheap rates are worth. Seriously- spend the extra $20 monthly to rent elsewhere. ... Read more
Hailey S. - 19 July 2021
Current owner of the facility spent 35 minutes on the phone with me was very polite and informative and helpful.. Previous managers and employees had contacted me in regards to my unit being passed you wanted my personal credit card number over the phone when they no longer on the facility this was on March 5, 2021.... How to get into the personal account through 815 STORAGE and tell me what I owe and how much late fees were and told me my son was gonna be auctioned off immediately if I did not make a payment. Which are after speaking with the new owner that was totally incorrect. Everything that they had indicated to me was false. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that Elm Storage - 1034 Short Elm Street has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Parking, Enclosed, 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 Elm Storage - 1034 Short Elm Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 40 to 1,575 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 Elm Storage - 1034 Short Elm Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $44 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $900 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!
