A few weeks ago, I rented a storage unit from Extra Space Storage, and I was truly blessed to have Fabian assist me through the process. In today’s world, genuine customer service is rare—but Fabian is a gem! She is naturally pleasant, incredibly helpful, and clearly dedicated to her work.

Rent for a 10'x10' went from ~$60 a month to $100 without warning or communication of the increase. Spoke to a rep with this company and I was told that "Extra Space Storage can/will change your rent whenever the market reflects a need to increase"...basically saying that they will charge whatever they feel like and it's up to me to pay to find a new location. Be warned that this company also doesn't cover theft if their employees rob your unit. Happened to my parents at a different location and the company said tough luck. Went through insurance to cover what was stolen but extra space was obstinate through the entire process. ... Read more

zayna e. - 23 November 2024
Overall it’s easy to rent a space. But, this particular location wasn’t really up to par. It seemed like no one cleaned it, there was always trash or people’s old belongings sitting out. And my things started to rust a bit and grow mold because the air circulation wasn’t that well. The Manager however was quick to respond to my concerns so I do appreciate that. I did move out but would try a different location if I ever need a unit again. ... Read more
Destiny W. - 31 October 2024
I am pretty impressed with the location, and I was really grateful & thankful for the help, patience service, and awesome customer service Ms.Ty Ridner provided.

These amenities include Climate-Controlled, Indoor, Drive-Up Access, Retail Available, Onsite Manager, Contactless Renting, Security Camera, Gate, Parking, Enclosed, Elevators, 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 Extra Space Storage - 8840 East 42nd Street can satisfy all of your storage needs. Different sizes here range from 25 to 450 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 Extra Space Storage - 8840 East 42nd Street come at a variety of prices, starting from $53 per month for typically smaller units. However, larger spaces can set you back up to $373 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!
