Read some helpful reviews of LocalStorage at 500 School Street, shared by real renters with genuine experiences and honest opinions.

Rented from Gateway Storage in Washington for about the past year, following a household move. Getting established with them was easy and I appreciate the fact that their prices were reasonable while their facilities were nice. Never had any trouble accessing my unit, and their gate access, lighting was always in good working order, even had access to a moving cart. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a storage unit in the area. Mike L. ... Read more

The property is secure with a door code and a gate, the management was very kind and helpful any time I called or interacted. The property is very clean, and easy to get in and out of. I would recommend using this place for your storage needs. ... Read more

Had some decent specials when I first rented two units. I haven't used the climate controlled ones but the others get the job done well enough. Handled everything online and haven't had a need to even deal with a person yet, which is convenient. They recently gated it in and you use a personal pin to access the area. Though it isn't a 24 hr access storage facility so do keep that in mind. All in all, no complaints and I'd use them again. ... Read more

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a wide array of amenities available for the storage units that LocalStorage - 500 School Street has to offer. These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Unstaffed Location, Parking 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!
